Maxine Minniver (Nicki Sanderson) has been faking symptoms of a serious illness for months and is suffering in Hollyoaks with Munchausen Syndrome, a mental health condition in which people pretend to be ill or induce symptoms of illness.

So far her mystery condition has had the medics completely baffled but top doctor, Levi Rochester (Cerith Flinn) is determined to get to the bottom of Maxine’s ‘ailments’ and has been running a series of thorough health tests.
