HO Maxine and Patrick spoilers
According Daily Star Sunday, Maxine gives birth in the shed, with Patrick by her side. However, he'll tell paramedics she died during labour. How they can do that, will she just reappear later on in the village? Probably yes, but how Patrick explain that? Surely they will look for a body? Or perhaps Maxine will start to bleed or something, he'll really believe she's going to die and choose not to help her?

That's what I thought. It looks like Patrick called an ambulance, but told the crew Maxine was dead. How come, surely they'd asked about the body? I suspect Patrick wants to keep baby as a "punishment" to Maxine. Maybe he'll send her away, like he's done with Nico?
And also the police aren't going to be suspicious that the woman arrrested for knocking Patrick down has been found dead by Patrick yet there is no body?
It might be 'hello basement' for Maxine. Presumably he'll give the child away somehow and pretend she died but from the photos he looks like he's happy. I can't imagine him raising the baby alone.
But as he is staying until at least next year (I hope that is true and not to try and surprise us) he can't do anything too bad or at least not be caught out with what he does. So either he doesn't do anything with Maxine or he doesn't get caught doing it.
I really hope he stays on another year as well. They mentioned in an article a few months ago about how there would still be drama between them but maybe that's just a con. Would be really annoyed if that were the case.
It does annoy me that he's become ridiculously evil; same with Sienna as well. Initially they were interesting troubled characters and their psychology was understandable but now they're just evil for the fun of it.
I'd like to see Maxine away from the Blakes- certainly from Dodger as that storyline is just dull and insulting. It would be interesting to see Patrick involved with a different character/family as well, although I can't see any obvious love interests for him.
I don't want Patrick to be completely separated from Maxine, but I would also like to see him with different characters, if he stays another year (hopefully) it would be good if they took him in another direction rather than the same thing with Maxine and Sienna.
Patrick has crossed the line and has changed from what he was, but he hasn't gone so far that he can't still be redeem, although we have to wait and see what he does to cause the train to crash and with Maxine.
I don't think that Maxine should be with Dodger either, they only had a handful of scenes together before the writers decided that they were meant to be, even though Dodger is now treating her pretty badly, he also ran off even though Maxine is sitting in jail. Maxine should be single, living with Blessing and Dennis and raising her child.
They really need to have the Blakes focus on their family, they brought in Nico and have done nothing with her, with the truth about Nico's father to come out, this is their chance to focus on her being apart of the family, which they skipped over when they first brought her in.
Well earlier in the year the police believed Patrick that Sienna had escaped from a secure mental unit; they didn't want to speak to the unit, or escort Sienna back there, they didn't even ask for the name! I think taking his word for it that Maxine has died (especially after she was just released from prison on charges of his attempted murder) is too much but to be quite honest I wouldn't put it past this show ...
He is a great character and is definitely redeemable.
Maxine gives birth in a shed. The paramedics turn up. Does anyone else see BK writing his way out of this one with Patrick just putting a coat over her head and saying "Oh don't mind her, she's dead" because anything else would be too audacious and insulting to our intelligence? I mean, sticking a coat over her head would also be insulting, but less so than trained health care professionals not asking to view the dead body at the scene of the birth. Especially because they'd need to not break the law, and call a time of death at the very least.
I think Patrick's a great character, but I don't see how he is redeemable. He abused her when when they were together, he continued to make her life miserable when she tried to move on with Dodger, and he's never been suitably punished for his abusive actions. I think he's just too over-the-top abusive to be redeemed.
Well if we can 'redeem' cold blooded killers like Teresa (yes thta is what she is), then Patrick is def redeemable.
Other thing is Maxine has never pressed charges against him and even helped him ,when Dodger reported him.
I think Patrick is redeemable, but they need to focus on his past more, explain, why he's like that and make him good dad for newborn daughter. Paradoxically, fact baby has Down Syndrome and is "imperfect" , can make him more caring.
