Hollyoaks Jeremy Blake DNA twist ‘revealed’ as he ‘hides family secret from Sienna’

Hollyoaks viewers are speculating that new character Jeremy Blake could be Sienna Blake’s biological father in a potentially shocking plot twist.

Jeremy Sheffield has made an unexpected return to the Channel 4 soap, eight years after his character died. Patrick Blake was murdered in 2016 by his niece Nico Blake, but now his twin brother Jeremy Blake has turned up in Chester.

Jeremy’s arrival caused quite a stir, especially for his niece, Sienna Blake (Anna Passey), who initially thought her deceased father Patrick had returned from the dead. After initially believing that her villainous father was still alive, Sienna was surprised to learn the truth about Patrick’s secret twin.

Jeremy cleared up the confusion, explaining that he is Patrick’s estranged brother, who lost contact with the tyrannical headmaster many years before his death.

However, during Tuesday’s episode of Hollyoaks (June 25), Sienna noted that Jeremy might share some traits with “evil” Patrick. She insisted he keep his distance, advising Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith) to stay away from him, reports the Daily Star.

Despite this, Dilly ignored her sister’s advice and invited Jeremy to move in with them at Oakdale Drive once he was released from the hospital.

Sienna was furious with her sister, who begged her to give Jeremy a chance. But things took a turn when the former high school teacher discovered what he thought was a gun in his bag.

Jeremy soon cleared up the misunderstanding by revealing that the supposed weapon was a gardening tool, which made sense given his profession. Sienna felt remorse for her suspicions and, after thinking about the situation, invited Jeremy to spend the night at her apartment.

However, Hollyoaks viewers are now speculating that Jeremy could actually be Sienna’s biological father rather than Patrick.

One viewer speculated on Twitter: “So random. I assume Jeremy is actually Sienna and Dodgers father? or Just Sienna, Dodger isn’t really her twin or something #hollyoaks. I hope he’s cute, but I really doubt it.”

Another fan expressed her theory: “IS JEREMY SIENNA’S DAD? #Hollyoaks”.

A third fan suggested: “Reckon Jeremy is actually Sienna and Dodger’s father or is he Patrick and the Patrick we know as Patrick who abused Maxine and died is actually Jeremy but that’s too over the top even for #Hollyoaks”.

Another fan offered another angle: “So either Jez is really Patrick and he and Jeremy switched lives at some point (maybe after Sienna’s mom left) or Jeremy is the real father of the twins but gave it to Patrick to grow. , or? #Hollyoaks.”

Hollyoaks airs weeknights on E4 at 7pm, with first-run episodes on Channel 4 at 7.30pm.
