Alistair Blackwell

As head of the notorious Blackwell family, Alistair will do anything to further his success, however cold and calculated. He has very little empathy and is clearly psychotic. His short temper and impulsive tendencies are a result of the trauma he faced as a child, most notably when his father, Barnaby tried to drown him.

Season 1
Alistair and Serena scold Lola when her lies are exposed about Bella's paternity. He is also furious about the article written about Lola's teenage pregnancy scandal, which the Redwoods payed Mary Munroe to write. Lola worries that Kevin will find the true reason for her lies, and Alistair tells her to sway Roxy Redwood against her parents to weaken the rival family. Alistair and Serena cross paths with Hector and Christina at a mayoral announcement, where Serena slaps Christina. Alistair scolds Lola when Roxy uncovers her plan. He and Serena urge Mary Munroe to write an article attacking the Redwoods, but she ends up writing an article about their bribery attempt, weakening the Blackwell name even further. Furious, Alistair verbally abuses Lola who he slaps after she slaps him. He threatens to take away everything she has ever loved. Later, Lola walks in when Alistair is standing over Bella, and he slyly torments her about his plans to harm Bella.

Season 2
Alistair witnesses Lola and Lucas arguing about something. He later walks in on a conversation and discovers that Lucas is Bella's father. Furious, he draws a knife and is about to kill Bella and Lola, when his mother, Celia stops him and proposes a plan to claim custody and overthrow the Redwoods by weakening their mayoral campaign. Alistair and Serena meet Christina and Hector at Cava Coffeeshop where the war only intensifies. Later, he tells Serena that he shot Brian Donovan so that the Redwoods would be blamed and their reputation destroyed. Celia tells Lola that Alistair was a good child until his father Barnaby tried to drown him on his 13th birthday. Alistair is furious when the Redwoods are granted custody of Bella. He goes on a warpath as Lucas and Lola run away with Bella. Alistair interrogates Celia, strangling his own mother until she gives up their location. Alistair then travels to Granite Falls, where he sneakily approaches Lola. Alistair torments Lola, who tells him he is jealous of her due to his inability to love (as a result of his father's abuse during his childhood). In a fit of rage, Alistair tries to stab Lola before he is strangled by Lucas and supposedly killed. He manages to feign death and later confronts his brother Jeremy for keeping Lola in Granite Falls. As Jeremy tries to calm his brother down, Alistair stabs and kills him in front of his son Anthony and Lola. The police burst in and Alistair is sent to prison for the foreseeable future.
