Patrick Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) appears to have made a dramatic comeback in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 7pm (See our TV Guide for full listings). 

Patrick, who was killed by his granddaughter Nico in 2016, seems to be back from the dead much to the shock of his daughter Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith).

Tonight’s episode starts with Dilly still missing. 

Her sister, Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) is worried about what's happened to her and enlists Maxine Minniver’s (Nikki Sanderson) help to try and track her down.

After some detective work the two women find mysterious Martha Blake (Sherrie Hewson) with Dilly’s phone. 

They confront her but once again, Martha manages to give them the slip as she runs away.

Later on Sienna gets a concerning call from nurse Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell). 

It turns out that Dilly is at the hospital after having hallucinations again. 

However, when Maxine and Sienna arrive, they realise what Dilly saw was completely real. She really DID see Patrick! 

Has Patrick Blake returned from beyond the grave? 

Meanwhile, Lucas Hay (Oscar Curtis) apologises to his boyfriend Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass) for lying and the pair make up, under the watchful eye of Misbah Maalik (Harvey Virdi).

Later the two lads have sex together for the first time.  

When Misbah, Dillon's aunty who he lives with, realises what’s been going on she asks Lucas’s father, Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) and his husband, James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan) round for a chat.  

Misbah tells the men she’s concerned by how fast the relationship between the two teens is moving given Lucas’ recent violent behaviour. She then tells Dillon that the two of them can’t be together.

Will headstrong Dillon take any notice of Misbah?
