Alejandro "Alex" Chavez is a fictional character from the original CBS Daytime soap opera, The Young and the Restless. The role was originated on December 7, 2012, by Ignacio Serricchio.

Casting
In October 2012, TV Guide's Michael Logan confirmed that Serricchio, known for his role as General Hospital's Diego Alcazar was set to join the cast of The Young and the Restless and would make his first appearance in December 2012. Serricchio would portray New York City detective, Alex Chavez who harbors a big secret. An interview with Serricchio on the show's official website later confirmed the character's first airdate as December 7, 2012. Serricchio described his character as having a very dry sense of humor, and "and is also direct and to the point…" According to Serricchio, "He wants information and he's going to get it. He reads people, knows when they're lying and enjoys watching them try to make things up." The character often comes off very sarcastic. Serricchio also worked with Jill Farren Phelps before when she executive produced General Hospital. In the December 17, 2012 issue of Soaps In Depth, Serricchio revealed that he had previously auditioned for Phelps's most recent project, Hollywood Heights but he was "too old" to fit into the cast. Phelps contacted him several months later with idea for the role of Alex. The initial casting announcement said that Alex would have a secret; when asked about the "secret," Serricchio explained that anything could happen. "He's trying to find somebody. He's working on a case and comes in because he believes there's a couple of people in town that have kept in touch with this girl he's trying to find," Serricchio said of his character. Because he was portraying a cop, Serricchio acknowledged that he interacts with a lot of the cast early on. Serricchio previously worked with Robert Adamson who had recently joined the cast as Noah Newman on the ABC Family series, Lincoln Heights. Serricchio revealed that the producers were keeping him in the dark about any possible connections his character could have.

Storylines
Alex arrives in Genoa City and asks Kevin Fisher about Noah Newman. He eventually finds Noah's house and asks him about his ex-girlfriend, Adriana Stone.
