How many people have helped her? I imagine Adam Donovan is next!

Darren Osborne.
Nancy Osborne.
Marc "Dodger" Savage.
Dennis Savage.
Blessing Chambers.
Kevin Foster.

I don't blame them for setting her up. She can't keep her gob shut.

Didn't Patrick attack her at their "wedding"?

Surely that would have been the time to report him over such incidents with lots of witnesses no doubt ready to back her up.

It's getting ridiculous now. Hollyoaks just don't know when to end a story.

Maxine has gone from one of my favourites to someone I can't bear to watch

This storyline should have ended a long time ago. It's unbearable to watch now. I wish the truth would be revealed so this storyline would just stop like it should have a long time ago.

I just hope this storylines ends soon. I like Maxine, but the whole thing with the Blakes is just boring now. They have gone from being a good family, to being a complete bore. Nico needs to leave, and both Maxine and Sienna need new storylines of their own.

Regardless she said she doesn't want to live there after everything that has happened.
Warren and Sienna will get evicted soon enough.

It's a shame as the abuse storyline started off pretty well and has featured some excellent scenes. Jeremy Sheffield and Nikki Sanderson have been excellent, but it should have ended two years ago at Maxine and Patrick's wedding. That's when it started to get ridiculous, as she clearly showed everyone her bruises and nobody did a thing! Then when Maxine gave birth and Patrick took the baby and left her for dead was when it got really tedious, and the fact she kept going back to him time after time was when I lost interest in her. Why doesn't she just go and live with her sister fgs? She seems to be such a glutton for punishment.

Would be ironic if they framed Nico but I can't see how that would fit into their reasoning.

Right now Darren and Nancy are just looking to save their own backsides at anyone's expense. Whilst you can make a case that Sienna has done the biggest job in ruining their lives you could argue for Maxine too as she dragged them into this unholy mess. Maybe they've got somebody else lined up? I image we'll find out who as they're not going to leave big fat clues and them not be used.

They broke into the Blake house.

Maxine Minniver.
Sienna Blake.
Nico Blake.
Warren Fox.

It can't be Warren as he was locked up so would make no sense?

Must be one of those 3!

Maxine is the biggest pain ever. How stupid can she been? I hate how she keeps dragging Darren (and by default Nancy) into her messes, is happy to have their help to bail her out, but moans they are interfering the rest of the time. Personally think she needs locking up for being such a gormless drip!

Definitely not Warren for the reason you stated but also I think they did infer it was female. If it is the old hair off a hairbrush trick for the DNA it is entirely feasible they could have lined up one person only for it to be another by mistake eg if Nico borrowed Sienna's brush. You'd think it would be very hard for Darren and Nancy not to leave traces of their own DNA behind. Be interesting to see what form the false clues take.

One other reason for not framing Maxine is that they know how fragile she is under pressure and so would implicate them under duress. It would make more sense to frame Sienna and maybe Nico will get the blame for the reasons I've stated above. That would be karma.

I do hope karma swings it back to Nico.

What is next for Warren?

wow at the thread title, little bit confrontational that!

I don't think her being a victim of domestic abuse wan an act, we saw it happen on screen.

I think Sienna has been framed but Darren and Nancy are trying to distance themselves and ensure she knows nothing further given her big gob

When Nancy and Darren had that conversation about putting their family first etc, I assumed they'd set up Maxine. But reading some of the posts here, I'll be so pleased if it turns out to be Sienna or Nico. Couldn't happen to a nicer pair

Sienna knows Nico killed Carly and Trevor...who have never done anything bad to her. Now Patrick tormented, manipulated and beat Maxine which Sienna knew about but she didn't even try to help. I know Patrick was her dad but even if Max killed him, Sienna should be more sympathetic...much more than she is towards Nico who has killed in cold blood!

And Maxine should kick Sienna and Warren from her flat...even if she doesn't want to live there herself. Why would you allow people that have done that to you to stay rent free in your flat? She really is so stupid and thick. What happened to the confident Max that arrived on our screens a few years ago?

They've really ruined Maxine's character, if I'm honest. They made a mess of the domestic violence story as it was dragged on and sensationalised all just to keep Patrick on as a character. I really think they should have shown Patrick to be punished and go to prison for his crimes after the wedding. That way, his character would be remembered as a classic Hollyoaks villain and, if the producers were so keen to keep him, they could have brought him back a year/18 months later as a refreshed character with new storylines with him.

Maxine was at her peak about 2 years ago, when they should've ended things with Patrick once and for all after the wedding. Bad writing has let Nikki Sanderson down terribly, ever since. She went from one of the best characters in HO to one of the most hopeless, sorry wrecks ever. The thickness of this woman never ceases to amaze me. Constantly being taken for a mug, her inability to realise how bad Patrick was and that pathetic babyish whining. Kirkwood should be ashamed of himself (he probably isn't, given his big fat ego) for cheapening a serious domestic violence storyline into a camp, sensationalised load of shit.

I was glad when Nancy called her liability. She's a village idiot and as much as I detest Nico, I wouldn't shed a tear seeing Maxine getting wrongly charged with Patrick's murder. She brought this all on herself.

It's always groundhog day for her and Ste, never catching a lucky break and it's become tiresome watching them suffer. Ste is even worse, because he's a character I genuinely hate now and want to see the back of. At least Maxine isn't a self-destructive druggie, so that's one thing. Better writing could redeem her and the actress is good. But she needs someone like Mitzeee around to make her that likeable character again (though it's hard to see Rachel Shenton coming back from the States to appear in HO again).

Don't care to see her with Adam, but she needs a clean break from the Blakes.

And yet if you want reality in the show, then that's what Maxine's storyline is . Is it usual for a victim of domestic violence to keep going back, yes it absolutely is. It's not because they are weak, it maybe because of children and money, or threats made to another person or the belief that the person will change. It is also very common for victims of one abusive relationship to end up in another. There are all sorts of reasons for this which are well documented and it is frustrating when you are trying to help someone who is in that type of relationship, but it is realistic.
