HOLLYOAKS - Maxine's escape in jeopardy

We finally saw Maxine Minniver pluck up the courage to leave her abusive fiance, Patrick Blake, once and for all.

But tonight, in E4's first look Hollyoaks, Patrick follows Maxine's confidant, Dennis Savage, and tracks her down at the woman's refuge she is staying in.

Patrick has been mentally and physically harming Maxine for the duration of their relationship, even being vile about their unborn baby, who they have been told has Downs Syndrome.

Maxine realises that Patrick has found her...

We already know that Patrick's son, Dodger, has fallen for Maxine - with the pair almost running away together, before Maxine decided to stick with her bullying other half.

With Patrick hot on Maxine's heels, will she come home with him?

And if she does, what will their future hold?
