#27: Blake Carrington Helped Shape the Storylines Himself
John Forsythe wasn’t just the face of Blake Carrington—he was deeply involved behind the scenes, too. Throughout Dynasty’s entire run, Forsythe took an active role in shaping the scripts, offering input on dialogue, character choices, and the overall direction of Blake’s story.
His involvement helped ensure Blake stayed consistent, principled, and aligned with the values Forsythe believed he should represent. Writers respected his instincts, and his steady hand helped guide Dynasty through years of dramatic twists. In many ways, Forsythe helped write Blake as much as he played him.
