Blake can get away with his antics because he is a quick thinker and his "natural charm saves his skin". Blake thinks that girls can be silly and clingy, but just enjoys their company.

Blake was devastated by her death and took some time to get over it. "The cancer reappeared in the same place and it was impossible to treat it and certainly impossible to operate," he told The Daily Telegraph after her death.

He had been acting "rowdy" and not attending and felt it was the right time to leave his education behind and join the cast of Home and Away.

A columnist for Stuff.co.nz said that Blake was a "hunky teenager". Jenna Price of The Sydney Morning Herald said that Hill was one of the serial's teenage actors that had a "pleasant awkwardness" about their portrayal. They added that Hill became Home and Away's new poster boy and "obliterated the memory of Craig McLachlan". When Finlay became hospitalised, a columnist for Inside Soap said "surely the writers couldn't be so cruel as to kill two girlfriends in a row for Blake? Or could they?".
Blake exacts revenge by taking the wheels of Stone's car and raising it on bricks, which causes his car to be damaged as well as Donald's. The final straw comes when Stone grabs Karen in class and Blake steps in to defend his sister and pushes Stone away from her, causing him to fall.
