28 March: Peter Murrieta says that Alex Russo was supposed to have Stevie as her love interest in 3rd season of Wizards Of Waverly Place

In the latest episode of Wizards Of Waverly Place Podcast, Peter Murrieta, the WOWP showrunner, confirmed that Alex Russo was supposed to be a bisexual.

Alex Russo had several male love interests during the show’s run, including Mason (Gregg Sulkin) and Dean Moriarty (Daniel Samonas), but Murrieta wishes she would’ve had a female love interest with the introduction of Stevie Nichols (Hayley Kiyoko) in Season 3.

“Easy, easy, easy, easy,” – Murrieta said when asked what storyline he wished he could’ve explored. “I wished we could have played more with what was quite obvious to a lot of us was the relationship between Stevie and Alex. But we weren’t able to in that time… it was pretty clear to all of us what that relationship was. That would’ve been fun.”

“If we were just a few years down the line, we maybe could have played with that,” said podcast co-host Jennifer Stone, who played Alex’s best friend, Harper Finkle, in the show.
