Storylines

Allie is a fast thinking, fast acting, no nonsense cop. She barracks for the Western Bulldogs AFL team.

In the season 3 episode "Meet and Greet" on her first day at Homicide Allie stepped in blood at the crime scene and she also started clashing with Simon Joyner. Trying to prove herself to the rest of the team, Allie went back to the crime scene alone and didn't put it in her job diary. While she was there someone jumped her and hit her on the head.

Allie and Bernice Waverley haven't got on with each other since the day Allie arrived at Homicide. It's really evident that Bernice dislikes Allie in the Season 3 episode "Hot House" when she tells her that she doesn't like her. Then in the Season 4 episode "Undercover" we discover that Bernice still doesn't like Allie when she told Terry Jarvis that she "sincerely regrets having Allie Kingston on the team" because she's headstrong and has a problem with authority. Then later on in the episode she asks her nephew Rhys Levitt whose idea it was to search Liam Swie Wahid's house. She just assumed it was Allie when in fact both her and Rhys went there on their own accord.

In the season 3 episode "Hot House" it was revealed that Allie was a champion runner when she was younger. She went to State Championships and National Championships, had training every morning and afternoon and went to intensive camps every holidays. Her mother was the one who was pushing Allie to become an Olympic champion after her father got sick of what her mother was doing and left the family. Also in the season 4 episode "Twilight Zone" Allie attempts to call her mother after talking to Matt Ryan about his father but the number that she called was disconnected.

In the season 4 episode "Protection" Allie shot and killed Marco Mitchem in self-defence after he fired a gun at her, Nick Buchanan and a coffee shop full of people.

In the season 4 episode "Last Seen" it was revealed that Allie worked with Detective Roy Delaney at Fitzroy CI for 2 years.

When Allie was at detective school she attended an interrogation class conducted by Wilton Sparks. She believed that he treated all the women like crap and because of this Allie's friend Melanie Sherborne quit.

You can see that Allie has a tattoo on her left biceps in the season 4 episodes "The Hit" and "Pirates". It is a word but it was too unclear to read in both episodes.

Allie believes that she will never let herself become like the people she saw at Beaconsela Retirement Village in the season 4 episode "Twilight Zone" and she believes that something should be done to fix the "old age thing" before she gets there because she thinks it "sucks".

In the Season 4 episode "Killer Moves" we find out that Allie's name is short for Allegra and that she is a Nidan in Gosoku-ryu Karate and trains at 4:00 or 5:00 every morning. Also in this episode Rhys Levitt tries to help Allie get in contact with her Mother Barbara Kingston. They both go to her house but when Allie finds out that her Mother has moved on and started a new life she walks away and tells Rhys that it was the wrong address.

In the Season 4 episode "Atonement" Allie tried to save Megan Chisholm-Walsh from committing suicide but she couldn't talk her out of doing it. Then later on she told Rhys that she wanted to help Megan's drug addict sister Liz Chisholm turn her life around. Allie then broke down in front of Rhys saying that she thought that being strong was all it took and that if you were strong then you could do anything. She then started to cry saying that it wasn't enough.

In the Season 4 episode "The Price of Love", Allie and Rhys start a relationship, and in the next episode, "Empowerment", Rhys' aunt Bernice Waverley catches them together. In the episode "Secret Love", Stanley confronts them about the relationship, telling them that one of them has to leave homicide because of it, to which Rhys responds that they have already decide to break up. Allie first assumes Rhys lied to save their jobs, but he later dumps her in the homicide elevator, saying that they had only been going out for a short time and he thought it would be better to end the relationship so that they didn't lose their jobs. This left Allie devastated and she was very angry with Rhys in Part 1 of No Greater Honour, "Reward Day".

Allie and Rhys went undercover at a swingers party in Part 2 of No Greater Honour "Go Down Swinging". In the series final No Greater Honour "Ghosts" after Matt told Allie that Rhys had turned down the opportunity to join Task Force Serca she softened herself towards him and asked if he was coming down to the pub for a drink. It would seem that they have just gone back to being friends.
