Alex

Alex Crawford writes for Scarlet magazine, orbiting the friendship between Jane, Kat, and Sutton with easy warmth rather than main-character urgency. He's the reliable guy in the office, quick with a joke, invested in his colleagues' lives and ambitions, content to be the supportive presence who shows up when someone needs him rather than the one demanding attention.

Matt Ward plays Alex without straining for edge or drama, which is its own quiet skill in a show built around three loud, ambitious women. He's given room to be decent and funny in ways that never feel like filler, and that steadiness makes him easy to root for whenever the show does turn its attention his way.
