== Biography ==
=== 1967-2024: Life Before Hollyoaks ===
Jeremy was born in February 1967 and is the twin of the late Patrick Blake. His father Charles died of motor neurone disease and his mother Martha sent Patrick to boarding school at the age of four. Jeremy did not get along with Patrick, claiming to have been tormented by him. In the 1980s, Jeremy met Anna at sixth form college and they became best friends, before beginning a relationship. In 1984, Anna discovered she was pregnant with Jeremy's twins, but suffered a miscarriage on the 20th August 1984. Afterwards, Jeremy got a tattoo on his arm of a blue and pink lotus with the date of the miscarriage in memory of the twins. Jeremy struggled after the miscarriage and was left hurt when Anna wanted to forget it happened and later left Jeremy for Patrick. In 1986, Anna and Jeremy had a one-night-stand whilst Anna was engaged to Patrick. Jeremy, whilst continuing to grieve, struggled when he discovered Anna was pregnant with Patrick's twins, as he felt Patrick couldn't even let him grieve, unaware that he was the real father of Anna's twins. Patrick never mentioned Jeremy during his life. According to Martha, Jeremy has also spent time in a psychiatric facility with an unknown mental disorder.
At some point, Jeremy joined the army and served for several years. He developed PTSD and haphephobia, and tried to cope through a newfound interest in gardening.
=== 2024-: Arrival ===
Jeremy arrived in Hollyoaks in June 2024. His attempt to approach Dilly Harcourt was thwarted by Martha Blake, who beat him unconscious with a walking cane. Nurse Peri Lomax informed Patrick's daughter/Dilly's sister Sienna Blake that a man who looked like Patrick had been hospitalised. Whilst in hospital, Martha attempted to murder Jeremy by overdosing him with morphine, but Dilly saved him just in time before any lasting damage was done. As Jeremy revealed his identity, those who knew Patrick were suspicious of him - except for Dilly, who invited him to move in. When Scott Drinkwell goes missing, Jeremy is the first person to be blamed and as Maxine looks for evidence, she heads over to his shed where she rings Scott's phone, only to find it in the shed ringing. When Scott rings Freya on a friend's phone, it is revealed that Jeremy and Scott had sex after their row, hence why Scott's phone was left in Jeremy's potting shed. Jeremy soon finds out he is Sienna and Dodger's biological father after a one night stand with Anna nearly 40 years ago and soon after snogs both Anna's daughter Liberty Savage (only because he saw Anna in her) and James Nightingale whom is split from husband Ste Hay. This leads to Ste wanting to attack Jeremy but is prevented by Sienna who turns on Jeremy.
