"They're the men with sticks and ropes, I saw them when I died. Thought they were evil Morris dancers."
―To Annie

Alex Millar (Kate Bracken) was a young, Scottish woman who came to Barry Island for a holiday with her family. However, she is later killed and becomes a Ghost. She also takes residence with Tom and Hal at Honolulu Heights as a new supernatural trinity.

Biography

Series 4

She encounters Hal in the cafe and flirts with him. Although nervous at first, Hal agrees to go out with her, but abandons her out of fear of killing her. He later calls Alex hoping to patch things up and try again.

Alex and Hal later go out for drinks but Hal (who recently drank blood for the first time in 55 years) was behaving strangly so she eventually had enough and left.

She was later kidnapped and killed by Cutler, who drained her blood and tricked Hal into drinking it, the same way Hal killed Cutler's wife in 1950. However, Hal refused to cooperate with Cutler's plan to trick the werewolf Tom McNair into slaughtering a club full of people in order to turn the world against werewolves so Cutler locked him in the storage room with Alex's body. Alex then reveals herself as a ghost to Hal.

After some arguing, Hal eventually convinces Alex to help him escape the storage room and they managed to evacuate the club before a transformed Tom could kill any of them, therefore hindering Cutler's plan.

At the end of Series 4, we see Alex and Tom trying to get Hal to stop drinking blood. This implies that now Annie has passed over, Alex will take her place as the ghost of the trio, which has indeed now been confirmed by Toby Whithouse on the BBC Being Human blog.

Series 5

Alex and Tom are still keeping Hal captive as a part of his blood detox, looking at the messy state the house is in, Hal requests that they let him loose so that he may clean it. Tom and Alex discuss this in the kitchen but eventually oblige, Hal soon learns from Tom that the two of them have been sacked from the cafe, and so they show up at a hotel for a job interview, and Alex tags along. She disappears whilst Tom is being interviewed, and reappears, startling Hal, who has just had an intriguing conversation with Mr. Rook. Later, Alex wants to find her body so that she can achieve her unfinished business and so they go to the map reference that Mr. Rook gave to Hal, they retrieve some information and Alex is horrified to learn that her family and friends have been lead to believe she drowned in a mediocre accident, and have already mourned her. As she begins to go into detail of her ghost woes (that she can't eat, drink, have sex, have a hangover or take of her boots), Tom and her hear something from downstairs in the cellar. They go to investigate and discover a captive Ian Cram, who Hal has kidnapped and made into a vampire. Feeling sorry for him, Alex sets him free, not wanting to steal his life away from him. Furious at Hal's actions, Tom knocks him out and ties him up, he is shocked to learn that Alex set him free, warning her that he may be dangerous. The three heroes rush to Ian's job office to find him draining a man dry, Hal tries to kill him, but Ian talks him into killing the two of them, Alex and Tom stop this, telling Hal that any mistake he makes is in their name. Mr. Rook and his goons soon arrive to clean up the mess, and Alex, him not being able to see her, tells him that he robbed her of her death and so one day, she will watch him die. Alex, Tom and Hal later seen at the two latters' job, and Alex vows to find her unfinished business. (The Trinity)
