Hollyoaks' Patrick Blake will frighten girlfriend Maxine Minniver once again when he lashes out at her in an angry temper.

Viewers will have seen Patrick (Jeremy Sheffield) turn nasty with Maxine (Nikki Sanderson) a few weeks ago when he threatened her for embarrassing him.

Patrick's latest outburst will happen after he takes Maxine out for dinner, despite the fact she has already made plans with Ash.

Over dinner and in a bid to fit in with the Blakes, Maxine jokes with Dodger and Sienna about Patrick's OCD. However, she is unaware of how uncomfortable Patrick is during the conversation.

Back at the flat later on, Patrick makes Maxine very aware of how she made him feel. He then starts throwing things out of the kitchen to Maxine's horror.

Hollyoaks Ash Kane will become increasingly suspicious of Patrick Blake next week and makes the decision to visit his ex-wife Anna again.

Maxine (Nikki Sanderson) is still keen to prove to Ash (Holly Weston) that Patrick (Jeremy Sheffield) is a good man and invites her for dinner.

Maxine's plan appears to be working as Patrick and Ash bond over a book. However, Maxine becomes jealous of their intellectual closeness and this is further highlighted later on during a pub quiz at The Dog.

Maxine tells her boyfriend how she is feeling but when he gives her a back-handed compliment, she doesn't feel reassured.

Unaware to them, Ash is watching and she starts to get her nagging feeling back that something isn't right.

She decides to go and see Anna again, and is intrigued when she warns her to protect Maxine and to help her build a case against her ex-husband.

Hollyoaks viewers can expect fireworks next week as Patrick Blake discovers that his son Dodger Savage has betrayed him.

Regular viewers will know that Dodger (Danny Mac) recently had a one-night stand with Patrick's on-off girlfriend Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson).

Upcoming episodes see Patrick (Jeremy Sheffield) turn detective after realising that Maxine has had a secret termination following her night with a 'mystery man'.

When Patrick later spots a suspicious encounter between Dodger and Maxine, he puts the pieces of the puzzle together and uncovers their secret.

A furious Patrick wastes no time before confronting his son, who is forced to confess all and beg for forgiveness.

Unfortunately for Dodger, there's no reasoning with Patrick and he is quickly disowned by his dad.

A Hollyoaks source told Digital Spy: "Patrick wants nothing more to do with Dodger, but whether he'll be able to control his anger with Maxine remains to be seen."

Hollyoaks will explore the issue of domestic violence in a new storyline as Patrick Blake starts hitting his girlfriend Maxine Minniver.

Next week's episodes see school headteacher Patrick (Jeremy Sheffield) lash out at Maxine for the first time after discovering that she had a one-night stand with his son Mark 'Dodger' Savage when they were recently separated.

Viewers of the Channel 4 soap have already seen a slow build-up to the shocking moment, as Patrick has often been shown as possessive and controlling in his relationship with Maxine.

Nikki Sanderson, who plays Maxine, told Digital Spy: "I feel very honoured to be part of this storyline, because it's such a serious issue. Obviously there are many people out there who are going through the exact same thing at the moment.

"There are also probably people who are in the beginning stages of it, but don't recognise the signs that it will turn into a domestic violence relationship.

"I'm really honoured that myself and Maxine have been chosen to do this. I hope that me and Jeremy can really do the storyline justice and make it as realistic as possible."

Sanderson has been preparing for the storyline by thoroughly researching the issue, and is hoping that the upcoming scenes will raise awareness among viewers.

She continued: "I'm hoping it will be quite insightful for the audience and people might learn a lot more about domestic violence relationships.

"We've been very subtly brewing this story over the past six months. Up until now, Patrick has lost Maxine her home because he bought the flat that she rented. She's also lost all of her friends, because Patrick has alienated them all.

"She has no financial independence, because Patrick made her quit her job and become a housewife. He's also been encouraging her to change her appearance and how she dresses, so it's been very, very subtle. It's not just an overnight thing. In order to make the story real, it had to take time to build up."

Hollyoaks headteacher Patrick Blake will be arrested later this month after he is finally reported to the police for domestic violence.

Patrick's son Dodger Savage (Danny Mac) is responsible for shopping him into the authorities, feeling that his twisted father needs to face the consequences of his actions.

Last month, Patrick's partner Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson) tried to expose him as a domestic abuser as she left him on their wedding day, but she chose not to tell the police about her year-long ordeal.

Scenes airing in a fortnight's time see Patrick and Dodger both attend Maxine's latest baby scan together in a bid to put the past behind them, but tension soon flares up once again.

As Dodger loses patience with the situation, he goes behind Maxine's back and reports Patrick (Jeremy Sheffield) to the police, leading to the evil villain being arrested for domestic abuse.

Viewers will have to wait and see whether Patrick faces any charges, but the arrest comes as part of a big week for the Blakes in general.


With Sienna (Anna Passey) still locked away in the boiler room at Hollyoaks High, she is left stunned when her old enemy Tom Cunningham stumbles across her.

Tom (Ellis Hollins) has followed Nico and Peri to the school after spotting them carrying out a plan to sneak inside after hours, but whether he will be prepared to come to Sienna's rescue remains to be seen.

Events come to a head at the school when mischievous Nico (Persephone Swales-Dawson) goes a step further by putting fish from the canteen behind all of the radiators.

As Nico turns the heat up for the prank, smoke starts billowing from the pipes in the boiler room - which will no doubt mean danger for Sienna if she is still trapped inside.

Hollyoaks villain Patrick Blake is the cause of the soap's upcoming train crash, Jeremy Sheffield has revealed.

Jeremy, who plays the Channel 4 soap's Mr Nasty, admitted that his character would have a big part to play in a train disaster that is due to rock the village, with not all of those involved coming out alive.

At the Inside Soap Awards, Jeremy and his co-star Nikki Sanderson, who plays Maxine Minniver, won Best Storyline for their portrayal of domestic abuse and Nikki said of the crash: "We all know that Patrick's not a very nice man. Let's just say his not nice man-ness might be involved."

Jeremy agreed: "Might be very much involved and the reason the entire crash happens. Oops.

"It is exciting. I was on location yesterday and the set looks amazing, incredible."

Nikki, who also won Best Actress at the awards, added that although Maxine and Patrick had split it wasn't the end of their storyline: "Everyone always goes, 'Is that it for you and Patrick?'

"No, it's not. I'm carrying his child so we always have a link and there's always going to be something there. He can still manipulate and control me from afar, he doesn't have to be my partner to do that."

Jeremy said: "In real people's lives these things have repercussions for decades, for the rest of their lives because they have children involved. They're not shying away from that and these are the things that we're going to see in the future."
