Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson) is left drifting in and out of consciousness in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 6.30pm (See our TV Guide for full listings).
In yesterday’s episode Maxine went on a dismal blind date with Eric Foster (Angus Castle-Doughty) where Eric quickly showed his bitter and twisted colours.
Maxine was later shocked to open one of her legal textbooks and see a very sinister message scrawled inside from a mystery person.
Tonight, a reeling Maxine is convinced that Eric is to blame for the message after she told him she didn’t think any romance would work between them and they should just be friends.
Maxine decides to confront Eric but is left wrong-footed when Mason Chen-Williams (Frank Kaur) provides Eric with an alibi which would mean Eric COULDN'T be the one to have written the nasty message in Maxine’s book.
Thinking she must have made a mistake, an embarrassed Maxine wonders who the true culprit is.
Feeling humiliated and upset about the whole thing she heads off to The Dog to drown her sorrows.
However she massively overdoes the alcohol and on her way home, she drunkenly topples into a pile of rubbish.
An inebriated Max is left sprawling on the ground and drifting in and out of consciousness in her boozy state.
