Backstory[]
2019-2022[]
Relationship with Pierce[]
Hendrix comes to Erinsborough to visit his father, having just been expelled from his boarding school. His arrival coincides with Pierce and Chloe Brennan's reconciliation. Chloe was unaware that Pierce had children. Pierce explains his history with Hendrix's mother and how he has had little involvement in Hendrix or his sister's upbringing, which leads him to struggle with his resentful son. Hendrix also makes a subtle romantic advance towards Chloe at her wedding rehearsal to Pierce. A couple of weeks later, he openly flirts with Mackenzie Hargreaves at a party, which causes her to wonder whether she should tell him that she is transgender. Mackenzie briefly leaves the party to seek advice, and when she returns she "tentatively" opens up to Hendrix, whereupon he calls her "the hottest girl at the party" and kisses her.
He began to show his rebellious side due to the poor relationship he has with his father, he even goes for a joyride in his dad's car, resulting in a crash which put Harlow in danger. Pierce confronts his son and Hendrix "brushes off the crash with his usual bad boy nonchalance", causing Pierce to make a threat about reporting him to the police. Hendrix realises that he could go to prison, but Pierce soon tells everyone that he is responsible as he asked Hendrix to park his car. This leads to "a heartfelt apology" from Hendrix and a better relationship between father and son.
On the day of the wedding, Hendrix attempts to run away from Erinsborough by booking a flight to Sydney with Pierce's credit card. Pierce goes after his son, telling Chloe that he cannot be without him. Hendrix initially refuses to return with his father because he cannot understand why Pierce wants him there. The bad history between the pair surfaces, as Hendrix tells his father to start a new family with Chloe, but Pierce refuses to go ahead with the wedding without him. The pair eventually reconcile and Pierce and Chloe marry.
Romance with Harlow[]
Hendix then embarks on a romantic relationship with Harlow, although she struggles to comprehend the feelings she has for him considering their very different personalities. After their kiss, Hendrix worries when Harlow does not contact him and he turns to Pierce for advice, as he thinks she is ghosting him. They have a "rare heart-to-heart" and Pierce points out that Hendrix could be overthinking things. When Hendrix and Harlow meet again, Hendrix learns Harlow has been focussed on her mother's return. The couple later take a romantic trip to Pierce's island, where Elly Conway's birthday celebrations are taking place. They get off to a bad start when Harlow struggles to relax after learning about a lie her mother told. Eventually Hendrix makes a useful suggestion that gets Harlow to loosen up and the almost consummate their relationship, until things between them become "awkward" and Harlow leaves the tent. Hendrix finds the rest of the party in the morning, but Harlow is not there because she has fallen down a mineshaft with Bea Nilsson and been bitten by a snake. As she recovers from her ordeal, Hendrix is shown supporting Harlow after the death of her mother.
Gambling addiction[]
Following Pierce's departure, Hendrix moves in with Karl and Susan. He also secures employment at Lassiters Hotel. However, this is short lived when he accidentally injures Terese Willis. He kicks various items in the room including a bottle being used as a doorstop, which later leads to Terese becoming trapped in the hot room. Hendrix feels guilty about what he has done and confesses to Harlow, before quitting the job. He then becomes "desperate" for money, knowing that he has to pay rent with his father cutting off support, so he turns to his new friend Jay Rebecchi, who suggests taking part in blackjack games. Jay finds them a private game, where Hendrix learns it is being run by Kane Jones, who used to organise a local fight club. He ends up in debt to Kane, who later threatens his life when he fails to pay up, so Hendrix acquires a gun to protect himself. He and Jay try to hide the gun when Chloe enters the room and it's stashed in the pizza oven. Bea uses the pizza oven without realising and the gun goes off, injuring Shane's leg.
After his gambling addiction and the gun came to light, Harlow ends her relationship with him. He is also forced to return to High School after previously quitting to find himself a job.
Relationship with Mackenzie[]
They grow closer as friends and connect through mutual love of zombies and gaming and the dynamic between them changes after Hendrix asks Mackenzie to help catch a spider and they nearly kiss. They eventually take their relationship more serious but try and hide it from Harlow, who later finds out and is furious. Weeks later, the couple make plans to have sex for the first time and Hendrix prepares a romantic dinner. But just as Mackenzie arrives, one of the candles falls over and starts a fire, ruining the night.
Their relationship becomes official but they find more issues when Amy's son Zara Sewlyn enters the neighbourhood. Zara is immediately infatuated with Hendrix and develops an obsessive crush, she has a bad reputation and Hendrix, with his past, tries to mentor her into being a better person after she has a reputation for starting fires. Zara kisses him which shocks Hendrix and Mackenzie is hurt after finding out. Mackenzie investigates the fires, feeling that Zara is innocent and goes to the school to investigate. Aubrey and Sadie Rodwell are the firestarters and have set a blaze in the school which spirals out of control and traps Mackenzie inside.
Declining health and marriage[]
Hendirx rushes past the fire services to try and rescue her. He manages to save her through the fire vent but is trapped himself until being saved by firemen. After the ordeal, he is diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and is in urgent need for a lung transplant. With his declining health he takes Mackenzie to Sydney to meet with his parents and uses the romantic opportunity to propose to her and she happily accepts.
The Rodwell family move onto the street and Mackenzie is furious. Sadie tries to make amends from her involvement in the fires, but faces hostility from some members of the street. However, Hendrix forgives her. Hendrix and Mackenzie have a fairytale wedding at a butterfly garden and officially tie the knot as a married couple.
Death[]
Hendrix's hope for a lung transplant is almost squashed when the donor's son initially refuses. However, Mackenzie manages to persuade him otherwise. Hendrix goes into surgery for the transplant and it seems successful but a few hours later is told his body is rejecting the lung and he doesn't have long left to live. Members of the street come to say their goodbyes to him and he remains in great spirits even until his final moments.
Mackenzie lays with him as he dies.
