The whole twins with two fathers story was her favorite. She says she never believed that Ross was Kevin's father because it was just Annie's word and she thought that would be a good story idea for the future. She also said that falling in love with Ben was her least favorite story, as she felt Blake falling for him was much too rushed. She said that only happened because another story fell through.

LOL...the hope of **** and Blake having an affair, allowing Ross and Vanessa to reunite LIVES!!!

Sadly, Blake is not that big a character by the end of GL, but she is much more present in that last year than she was before (I think - someone can correct me - at one point she was in a coma for a year)

At some point Liz went recurring. (I think it was after Jerry left). I swear Blake was in a coma twice, and once was about a year.

It was, yes. She was asked in the interview about having to adjust to recurring.

Blake/Matt as an endgame pairing would have made sense, although I think she would have gotten bored of him judging her.

Blake mostly cared about action between the sheets. As long as that was decent, she could've overlooked the rest.

And I just have to imagine it was more than decent with Matt

As much as I hate to admit it, and as much as I never wanted them to be endgame, I still think Blake and Ben had some hot chemistry. Hearing that Liz wasn't really into it because she was pregnant and tired surprised me, because I thought she played the dangerous flirtation yet torn up/anguished emotions really well.

Well, Amanda didn't pay him for his MENSA abilities.

It does amaze me when actors sell stories they don't like, or like stories we as the audience don't. I can imagine that trying to sell a new relationship (that's not well-motivated and likely to piss off your fan base) would be a little extra draining when you're pregnant.

IIRC, Blake was in a coma for a little over a year. She became mayor after Ross and I think she did some underhanded stuff or won the election under questionable circumstances.

I think they played it as a nervous breakdown. She ran for mayor while she was sleeping with Jeffrey, who was also running (I think). Blake was exposing people's secrets on some web gossip site at the same time. I forget how she landed in the coma--she may have caused an accident and gotten caught by it herself. They then shipped the kids off to be raised by Holly offscreen.
