Patrick Charles Blake, played by Jeremy Sheffield, is a character in the British soap opera Hollyoaks. He made his first screen appearance on 21 November 2012. The character's introduction to the serial and Sheffield's casting were announced on 7 October 2012. Patrick is introduced as the biological father of established character Dodger Savage (Danny Mac).

Since his arrival, Patrick has been involved in storylines like finding out that Dodger was his biological son, who he long thought was dead; a relationship with Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson), whom he abused and fathered a daughter, Minnie Minniver with; kidnapped by his stepson Will Savage (James Atherton); keeping his own daughter, Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) locked up, as well as trying to prevent her from finding her biological daughter; and being diagnosed with motor neurone disease. Patrick departed the show on 5 January 2016 after being murdered in a shocking twist by his granddaughter Nico Blake (Persephone Swales-Dawson). Sheffield briefly reprised his role as Patrick weeks later on 2 February 2016 when Maxine momentarily saw him as a figment of her imagination, much to her horror. On 9 September 2016, after Sienna was charged with his murder, she imagined spending Christmas with him.

Dodger tracks Patrick down and decides to visit him. Dodger and friend Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson) visit under the pretence of carrying out a consensus. When Patrick questions if they are official, he discovers they are not and assumes that Dodger and Darren are trying to con him. Dodger reveals he is Patrick's, although Patrick initially believes Dodger is lying due to him being told that his son had died a long time ago, he eventually accept the truth. Patrick starts dating Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson) and it later becomes clear that he is abusing her, physically and mentally - a storyline which linked in with a government abuse campaign called This Is Abuse. When Maxine goes up in court for perverting the course of justice and is given community service, she tells Patrick that she was let off in order to stay on the right side of him, but when Patrick sees Maxine doing community service, he later physically abuses her at home. He continues to do this every time that Maxine does something that he didn't approve of. In 2013, Patrick along with Maxine, Sienna (Anna Passey), Dodger, Dirk Savage (David Kennedy), Dennis Savage (Joe Tracini) and Martha Kane (Carli Norris) were held hostage by his stepson Will Savage (James Atherton), as part of his revenge plot against Dodger, but he survives the ordeal. He discover that Anna had truly love him, despite being abused to her, and follow by Will arrested, Patrick finally own the last and will and testament of his ex-wife Anna, along with Dodger and Sienna since they were a legal husband and children to her, instead of Dirk and his kids.
