[edit] Character History

Mack Blake, brother of Gina Blake DeMott, came in town in 1989 as a huge surprise, since Gina never mentioned she had a brother. Mack immediately became the seducer of women, but also a tender person. Already when he arrived, he got accused of stealing a Porshe from his former lover Yvonne Bartelo, but it was later proven that he had not stolen it. Of course, Gina immediately saw Mack as a bad person and she believed that Mack was a very bad influence on Brandon. However, the truth was that Mack spent a lot of time with Brandon by giving him pointers in life and being a role model for him.[1]

Mack found a job as the fitness professor at the Capwell fitness center, but trouble was waiting for him around the. A jealous colleague named Ilsa accused him of stealing jewels, but with the help from Julia Wainwright, Mack proved his innocence in court. Mack was surprised when his mother Phyllis arrived in town. However, there were more troubles ahead for Mack. He was a close friend to Laura Asher[2], and he was surprised to find out that his sister Gina was having an affair with Laura's husband Ethan. That caused Laura to destroy the Lockridge mansion.

Mack's next lover was Gretchen Richards, the wife of Harland Richards. They started an affair and Gretchen plotted to make it seem like her husband was trying to abuse her. She suggested that Mack get rid of Harland, but he definitely opposed the idea. Gretchen continued plotting and ended up accusing Mack of murder attempt. Once everything was resolved, Mack left town.
