In the series, Mr Blankson is a good man who is lacking love and affection in his relationship so when his ‘old flame' Jennifer Adams, played by Joselyn Dumas, calls upon him for help, he goes all out seeking friendship and then an affair at the expense of Jennifer's marriage, as well as his campaign to be the next President of Ghana.
His wife, Cecilia Blankson, played by Nana Ama MacBrown, used to be Jennifer's lecturer from school and doesn't quite approve of the fact that Jennifer has come back into the picture under the guise of being Richard's campaign strategist.
She gives her a strong warning but as events unfold it will soon be obvious that none of these three people are playing by the books.
Eddy, the fourth child and second son of former President John Agyekum Kufuor and former First Lady Theresa Aba Kufuor's five children, tells The Mirror, “I have always been passionate about and interested in acting.”
“In fact, I have always liked theatre, singing and performing arts in general. I have done some stage drama and other theatre performances in the usa (New Orleans, Louisiana).”
In all things, the smooth actor believes that education is key and for most part of his life, he has been pursuing knowledge in institutions home and abroad.
He started school at the Christ the King International School in Accra and continued at Achimota Senior High School for his General Certificate of Education (GCE) Ordinary Level and later enrolled at the Labone Secondary School for the Sixth Form programme.
Eddy is also a product of the Crown College of Further Education, Kings Cross (London, U.K.); the Dillard University, New Orleans, Louisiana, (U.S.A).
He holds a professional certificate in programming for business applications and has also completed the first year of his Master of Business Administration (MBA) course at the University of New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana (U.S.A.).
The February 1968-born is, indeed, a solid and attractive man who stands at five feet, 10 inches and weighs 85kg but unfortunately for the ladies, he is already taken.
He is a father of five (four boys and one girl) and a grandfather of three (two boys and one girl). Besides business and acting, he is also a farmer.
The 45-year-old father and grandfather is an avid lawn tennis player. He also enjoys polo/horse-riding, swimming, fishing, nature-walks `and site-seeing.
