Alexander 'Xander' Avant is a character from Bold and the Beautiful. The character was portrayed by Adain Bradley initially from 2018 to 2019, later reprising the role in December 2023.

Background[]

Alexander "Xander" Avant is the nephew of Julius Avant and came to Los Angeles on June 12, 2018. He is half-British and was raised in England by Julius’ brother Claude Avant and his wife, Maisie Avant.

Storylines[]

Xander arrives in Los Angeles in 2018 and is hired as an intern at Forrester Creations with help from his cousin Maya Avant. Soon after, Xanders ex-girlfriend Zoe Buckingham from England arrived in time. When she sees Xander hanging out with Emma Barber, Zoe becomes jealous. She does everything to get and keep Xander back for herself. Xander and Zoe become a couple, leaving Emma devastated.

In 2019, Xander and Zoe get involved in the baby switch drama. He feels guilty and devastated when Emma is run off the road by Thomas Forrester and dies as a result. He feels responsible for her death because he went along with the secret about Beth Spencer and did not tell the truth. But even when he wanted to tell the truth, Thomas threatened him, Zoe and Flo Fulton of what the consequences would be if they did but the truth came out regardless a couple of months later.

When the truth came out after 8 months, both he and Zoe get fired by Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan at Forrester. While Xander moves back home to his family in London after his shame and guilt over his involvement in the baby switch, Zoe decides to stay in Los Angeles.

In December 2023, Xander returns to Los Angeles in an effort to turn his life back around. He begins by establishing connection with a General Practitioner; he chose Dr. John Finnegan at University of Los Angeles Hospital. Unaware of one another, Xander and Finn attend their first appointment. Xander almost immediately notices a framed photo of Finn and Steffy on his desk, and asks Finn if he is married to her. After receiving confirmation, Xander opts to leave. Finn asks if he has a problem with Steffy, but instead retorts that his issues are with her brother, Thomas. Xander explains how Thomas ran Emma Barber's car off a cliff on Mulholland Drive, whilst she was rushing to tell Hope that her daughter Beth was actually alive. Xander still appears to leave the practice, but Finn begins spreading the information to Steffy and Hope, both of whom do not believe him.
