DODGER SAVAGE in HOLLYOAKS | 08.01.25

[doyelikehaggis]

I have a question about when jeremy showed up in hollyoaks. I didn't watch properly then, just read spoilers, but was wondering how his behaviour was initially? Ive seen a few snippets on youtube and was curious about others opinions of him

I don’t honestly remember too much beyond not trusting him. He came into it being very nice from what I can remember, saying he just wanted his family, and that Patrick was evil to him growing up. I started believing him and thought Martha was the evil one (she fully locked him in the allotments shed and was like drugging him, I think? and he was crying and everything, and they very much made it seem like martha was abusing him or something along those lines, but then they flipped it and showed us that Jez was the one controlling Martha. there was a lot going on 😭). But yeah, I didn’t really like him much — I liked where I thought they were going with him, making out that Jez was actually the “nice twin” but of course he was a serial killer 💀

I'd only watched post-2015 hollyoaks so I had no idea who dodger was when he was re-introduced, but I liked his character so I went back and watched his old storylines and holy fuck this man's life is insane. Why are his siblings so obsessed with him, why is his entire family evil, why does he keep getting locked up??

Oh my god, I know, it’s wild. Admittedly, before Dodger returned, I’d only watched his scenes in 2012 and part of 2013, so I’m now watching 2011 and will pick up where I left off in 2013 to see the rest of his storylines, but reading up on all of it is actually crazy. This man has lived too many lives. His siblings are SO obsessed with him, Liberty might be the only one with a normal relationship with him (don’t quote me on that, I don’t know if shes done anything weird towards Dodger yet) 😭 His entire bio family being evil while he’s just there trying to hold it together is so funny, he really is the peacekeeper. I mean:

Jez (bio dad): Mental serial killer

Patrick (bio uncle/assumed father): Abusive piece of shit

Sienna (twin sister): unhealthy incestuous obsession with him (plus all the scheming, hostage taking, stabbing, attempted murders)

Will (brother): resents him, killed the love of Dodger’s life after pretending she’d put him in a wheelchair (and all the other crazy shit)

Nico (daughter — with his twin sister, might I add): crazy serial killer who once stabbed her mum (and some other crimes)

And then the lesser crimes, but still kind of fucked up:

Martha (gran): covered up Jez’s murders

Liberty (sister): slept with Jez

Anna (mum): tried to kill him and Sienna as babies but there were other factors involved in that

Dilly (cousin): sort of accidentally killed her husband while trying to ruin Sienna’s life??

And I think Dirk is genuinely innocent, which is hilarious and makes perfect sense because he doesn’t have any of the Blake genes.

AND THAT DOESN’T EVEN SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF THE BLAKE-SAVAGES! THERE ARE A TON MORE CRIMES! Now I’m just waiting for Tori to turn out to be a Mini Nico 👀

But also yeah, can we stop taking Dodger hostage?? I know it’s a family tradition and all, but give the man some freedom, please!
