    Nikki Sanderson has hinted that the troubled relationship between Maxine Minniver and her estranged husband Patrick Blake could be about to change forever.

    Tonight's episode of the Channel 4 soap sees Maxine finally discover that Patrick has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease, while E4's first look airing will explore the aftermath as she learns the devastating implications of the incurable condition.
    Patrick received his diagnosis in April, but he has deliberately kept Maxine in the dark in order to maintain the upper hand in their battle for custody of their daughter Minnie.

    Despite the turbulent history between the former couple, upcoming episodes will see Maxine attempt to put their differences aside by trying her best to support Patrick.

    Speaking on Channel 5's The Wright Stuff today (July 13), Sanderson explained: "Patrick has been recently diagnosed with motor neurone disease, which Maxine doesn't know but she's just about to find out that he's got it.

    "She has no understanding of it, she doesn't know what it is. Once she has learned about the condition, she actually feels sorry for him and wants to help him for Minnie's sake."


    Sanderson added that Jeremy Sheffield, who plays Patrick, has thoroughly researched the storyline.

    She said: "I think that in any storyline that we do, research is key. With the domestic violence storyline last year, we did a lot of research. I went to women's refuges and spoke to women who had been affected by it.

    "I must say, Jeremy has done so much research for this because obviously he's the one portraying the character who has motor neurone disease. He's spent hours on the internet watching videos, because obviously he wants to make it as real to life as possible.

    "His character has been someone who's been vastly in control of every aspect of his own life and other people's lives. He's the man who wants to be in control of everything. It's the cruellest disease for Patrick because he's losing complete control of everything."


    Patrick's storyline is an emotional exit plot for the scheming character, but producers have so far kept tight-lipped about when his final scenes will air.

    Hollyoaks fans have a while to wait before Maxine Minniver realises that Patrick Blake is plotting against her again.

    Nikki Sanderson, who plays Maxine, has told Digital Spy that her popular character may remain oblivious to Patrick's scheming until it's far too late to do anything about it.

    Maxine is currently facing a bleak future as terminally-ill Patrick has hatched a sinister plan to frame her for his 'murder'.

    Patrick has convinced Maxine to help him die when he feels the time is right, but he later realised that he could use this against her after getting jealous of her relationship with Darren Osborne.

    Speaking to Digital Spy at the RTS North West Awards, Sanderson explained: "Maxine is completely unaware of what's happening, but behind closed doors, Patrick is still plotting against her because he thinks she's got back with Darren - which isn't true.

    "Maxine does love Darren, but for the sake of Patrick and his last few months, she's willing to sacrifice her happiness for his. That hasn't worked out because with Patrick's control issues and the twisted way he thinks, he doesn't believe that Maxine is genuine.

    "Over the next few weeks, you're going to see Patrick gradually do more things to incriminate her. There's going to be a lot of twists and turns along the way - none of which Maxine will know about until the very end!"

    She continued: "We also get to see Patrick's last Christmas, but it's not as merry and jolly as most people's Christmases tend to be. But then again we are in the Blake household, so how much jolliness can you bring to a household like that?"

    Patrick's exit will air in the first week of January, in what's expected to be an unmissable set of episodes.

    Fans had thought that Patrick was on the path to redemption in the build-up to his death, but it seems that he couldn't resist one last plan to destroy Maxine.

    Sanderson added: "Television-wise, it's probably the best way for the story to go because it makes the best drama and people want to watch that.

    "In real life it'd be nice to see someone like Patrick get his comeuppance, but that doesn't always happen on television! We're happy to be playing this story because it makes it a lot more gritty. It's going to be a good one."

    ​Hollyoaks star Nikki Sanderson has teased a bleak New Year for her long-suffering character Maxine Minniver.

    Maxine will prepare to marry her terminally-ill ex Patrick Blake over the festive season, but she is unaware that he has hatched a sinister plan to frame her for his 'murder'.

    As they start to make preparations for their big day, Maxine will be left stunned when Patick drops a huge bombshell.

    Putting his plan into action, Patrick tells Maxine that he wants her to help him die immediately after the ceremony, leaving her with a life-changing decision to make.

    Sanderson told All About Soap: "Maxine is devastated. She's confused, angry, upset, and of course she feels sympathy for him. There are so many feelings in her head! It is not something she wants to do - who wants to do that?

    "It is not just the there and then she is thinking about - it's the future, the consequences and knowing it happened and that she did it. Patrick is only asking because he is in pain, but the responsibility is a huge thing. So she is confused.

    "Again, she is thinking of Minnie in all of this - she doesn't want to have to tell her daughter in the future that mummy did that to daddy."

    Patrick's exit will air in the first week of January, but with Maxine currently oblivious over what he is planning for her, Sanderson has teased a turbulent time for her alter ego.

    She said: "Maxine knows everything is moving forward, but she doesn't know the undercurrent to it all. It's all very evil of Patrick, isn't it? And Maxine is unaware. Plodding on would be a good phase for what she is doing - she is plodding to her doom!

    "It's the end of an era, but it is also exciting to see what other things come and I am looking forward to finding out what will happen with Maxine next.

    "I don't know what's going to happen - they haven't told me yet. I do know 2016 doesn't start very well for Maxine but let's hope it moves forward from there."

    Maxine Minniver's guilty conscience could be about to play some frightening tricks on her in a gripping new Hollyoaks storyline.

    The troubled character has been left in turmoil ever since she and Darren Osborne were forced to conceal Patrick Blake's body earlier this month.

    There's good news for Maxine and Darren in late January when DS Thorpe closes the police investigation into what happened to Patrick, officially declaring him dead following his apparent 'suicide'.

    Unfortunately, the next crisis for Maxine (Nikki Sanderson) lies just around the corner, as she feels terrible when Patrick's daughter Sienna suggests holding a memorial for him in the Jubilee Gardens. A touching gesture - if the gardens weren't right next to the City Wall where Patrick is secretly buried!

    Fatboy's death 'will come back to haunt Vincent'
    The memorial day is a hellish one for Maxine as she struggles to cope with her guilt. There's also a coincidence that's far too close for comfort when a plaque is added to the wall as a permanent tribute to Patrick.

    As the pressure of the terrible situation mounts in the aftermath, Maxine is confused when she suddenly hears Patrick's voice over the baby monitor at home.

    This is just the first in a series of strange incidents for Maxine, who'll be forced to question her own sanity as more reminders of Patrick present themselves. Is someone targeting her, or is it all in her mind?

    Hollyoaks star Nikki Sanderson promises a new love interest for Maxine
    It seems there might be a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel for Hollyoaks' Maxine, as she's about to get a brand new love interest.
    Things have been pretty stressful recently with her accidentally blabbing about her involvement in her husband Patrick's death, so she could do with a distraction.
    "Maxine has a new little love interest so it's going to be quite good for her," actress Nikki Sanderson told The Daily Star.
    "You'd hope she'd get a bit of peace but in Soapland nothing is ever plain sailing — there is always something that's about to happen.
    "As we know Maxine, God bless her, she's not one of the luckiest of people in any aspect of life so it's probably not going to work out the best for her."
    Maxine suffered horrific abuse from Patrick throughout their marriage and had originally planned to help him end his life before his motor neurone disease became too advanced.
    However, his granddaughter Nico beat them both to it earlier this year.

    Maxine Minniver is on the hunt for answers over Darcy in these brand new Hollyoaks spoiler pictures.

    Darcy has been missing and presumed dead ever since she disappeared from a cruise ship, but Maxine could be about to crack the case once and for all when she receives a tip-off which might change everything.

    Determined to help her fiancé Adam Donovan move on from his absent ex, Maxine follows a lead to a café after hearing about a girl called Rebecca who supposedly has more information on Darcy.

    When secretive Rebecca claims that she can't help, a frustrated Maxine is forced to leave - but it's not long before she does even more detective work and realises that she'll now have to speak to Rebecca again.

    Taking no chances, Maxine brings Adam's mum Tracey along with her this time, although she may regret her interference when she gets much more than she bargained for...

    Nikki Sanderson, who plays Maxine, revealed: "When Rebecca tells Maxine that she has no idea what she's talking about, I don't think that Maxine believes her. Because of that, she wants to dig further.

    "Instead of going and speaking to Rebecca and coming away feeling better about it, she actually has come away feeling worse because she knows that Rebecca is hiding something and there is more information to be found.

    "Maxine then finds paper cuttings in Adam's box and there's information within that newspaper cutting that really sparks Maxine's curiosity. So she wants to go back to the café for a second time to confirm what she now believes.

    "Maxine is nervous about this information because if it's real and Darcy is still alive, then what will happen to her and Adam? Obviously Maxine knows that Darcy was the love of Adam's life and he still doesn't have closure on that, so she questions where it would leave her if Darcy did ever come back."

    Asked why Maxine is so fixated on finding Darcy, Nikki replied: "I think that she's infatuated with the idea because she wants closure for Adam. She wants that chapter to be well and truly done and finished.

    "Until they get closure on Darcy and what happened to her, there's always a little bit of Darcy hanging in the background of Maxine and Adam's relationship. She wants to get rid of that, so they can just focus on themselves and Minnie.

    "I don't think Maxine thinks of the problems that could come along if Darcy was ever found alive. Obviously it would subconsciously be there in the back of her mind, but I don't think she's thinking too in depth about that because she's so focused on getting Darcy out of Adam's mind.

    "She knows that potentially bringing Darcy back could cause problems and is nervous about that, but she's more focused on getting rid of her than bringing her back."
