Alexander "Alex" Wilder is a character on the daytime television soap opera Times of Passion, and a major character on its spin-off, Open Arms.

Origin
Alex was conceived when his mother Karen Jameson was kidnapped and raped by her ex-boyfriend Philip Garvey in 1989. She decided to keep him and raise him with her new husband Ralph King, with her close friends Alexa Wilder, Clark Oswald and Eddie Mathison as his godparents. After the divorce from Ralph, Karen raised Alex by herself, until her and Eddie contracted HIV and died in 1997, leaving Alex to Alexa, who eventually adopted him.
