Maxine Minniver may be nursing a broken heart in Hollyoaks after Dodger Savage fled the village, but actress Nikki Sanderson is ready to move on.
Maxine had an on-off romance with Dodger (Danny Mac) which was always prevented from becoming a full blown relationship by his evil dad Patrick Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) who had Maxine trapped in an abusive relationship.
But Nikki – who has been in the E4 soap for over two years – thinks it’s time Maxine found a nice guy.
She told Digital Spy: “I’d love to see Maxine happy and I’d love her to find someone new. She’s devastated about Dodger and obviously she can’t move on straight away from that, but it’d be nice to see her with someone who truly cares about her.
“He wouldn’t necessarily have to be the best Prince Charming in the world as nobody’s perfect! But it’d be nice if Maxine could find somebody who cares about her and shows love in a positive way, rather than in a negative way like her ex Patrick.”
Nikki hasn’t ruled out the possibility of Maxine and Dodger one day getting together again.
On the possibility of a return for Dodger, she added: “If Danny ever chose to come back, I’m sure that Maxine and Dodger would be involved at some point. Dodger will always be the love of Maxine’s life.
“With him gone, obviously Maxine is going to have to move on at some point. Dodger, wherever he may be, is probably moving on too! But I think Danny is going to do really well, so I can’t see him coming back any time soon!”
