The Blake family is rooted in gothic tales with twists and turns galore, and with the arrival of Jez’s long-lost son, and the return of grandmother Martha, played by Sherrie Hewson, the family of secrets intensifies. In true Blake style, mysterious Mark will be arriving with an agenda, but what is he up to…
Talking about reprising his iconic ‘Hollyoaks' role, Mac said, “After a decade away, I’m thrilled to be returning and reuniting with my incredible co-stars, old friends and a character very close to my heart.

Now that he’s back, there’s a lot to uncover, but one way or another, we will finally find out.”
