Patrick Blake is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Jeremy Sheffield. He made his first screen appearance on 21 November 2012.[1] The character's introduction to the serial and Sheffield's casting were announced on 7 October 2012.[2] Patrick is introduced as the biological father of established character Dodger Savage (Danny Mac). It was announced in December 2023 that Patrick would be returning to Hollyoaks in an unknown capacity.
Patrick's storylines have involved finding out that Dodger is his biological son, who he long thought was dead; a relationship with Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson), whom he abuses and fathered her daughter, Minnie Minniver (Eva Rooney); being kidnapped by his stepson Will Savage (James Atherton); keeping his daughter, Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) locked up, as well as trying to prevent her from finding her biological daughter Nico Blake (Persephone Swales-Dawson); and being diagnosed with motor neurone disease. Patrick departed the show on 5 January 2016 after being murdered in a shocking twist by Nico. Sheffield briefly reprised his role as Patrick weeks later on 2 February 2016 when Maxine momentarily saw him as a figment of her imagination, much to her horror. On 9 September 2016, after Sienna was charged with his murder, she imagined spending Christmas with him.
