Hollyoaks star Nikki Sanderson has said Maxine Minniver will regret seeking comfort in the arms of her ex Patrick Blake.

Maxine has a one-night stand with abusive ex-partner Patrick, played by Jeremy Sheffield, after they have been told by doctors their baby daughter Minnie needs an operation. Patrick assumes they are back together, but for Maxine her moment of weakness is just a big mistake.

Nikki revealed in a video on the Hollyoaks official website: “She definitely regrets it. At the time she doesn’t but when she wakes up in the morning and it hits her what has happened, she is regretful.

“She was just wanting comfort. With all that they are going through with Minnie, Patrick is the only person who can relate to that.

“Not in a million years does Maxine want to get back together with Patrick and she is certainly not under his spell any more.”

Jeremy added: “Patrick takes huge advantage of that. In his warped mind it’s completely back to normal.”

But the actor revealed the villainous headmaster is soon to make a discovery that could change him.

He said: “Patrick learns something about himself which changes his life forever. It changes his entire outlook on life and it will be interesting to see where it takes us.”
