[edit] Early life
Maxine Heavey entered the series in the 1990s as Fiona Middleton's friend from collage, working in Denise Osborne's salon. She was very much a good-time girl, and had relationships, often one-night-stands, with several of the male characters, including Steve McDonald (to get back at Fiona as he was Fiona's ex) and Curly Watts (when she was drunk). She was bridesmaid at Fiona's wedding to Alan Mckenna which ended in tragedy.
[edit] Marriage to Ashley
Seeking security, she married Ashley Peacock in 1999. She was happy with her marriage until she found out Ashley was having an affair with Suellen Smith: a regular at the salon in 2000, but it turned out not to be true.
[edit] Dirty with the doctor
She had trouble becoming pregnant by Ashley. On the night that he had surgery to assist with this problem, Maxine had sex with local doctor Matt Ramsden, becoming pregnant by the doctor.
[edit] Joshua
Maxine gave birth to her only child, Joshua, prematurely after a confrontation with Ashley, during which he found out about her fling with the doctor. Ashley was furious with his wife, but was determined not to let anyone else on the street know that the child may not be his. Ashley was determined to get a DNA test done to be certain of Joshua's parentage, despite Maxine's protestations that the test was unnecessary and that they could mend their relationship. On the day the test was to be done however, Ashley realized that Maxine was truly sorry for what had happened and that they could in fact be a happy family together. He forgave Maxine and took both her and Joshua home without getting the test done.
It was revealed after Maxine's death, however, that Joshua was not Ashley's biological son. Ashley was afraid that Matt Ramsden may return and try to claim custody of the little boy, so he had the tests done to be sure of his parentage. He and his new wife, Claire, continue to raise him as their own.
[edit] Maxine's fate
Maxine was murdered by Richard Hillman after he broke into her house on the night when Emily Bishop was babysitting Joshua when she was at a double birthday for Todd Grimshaw and Maxine's mum Doreen at the Rovers Return Inn. She returned home early to witness Richard hit Emily over the head with a crowbar. Her final word's were to Richard "What are you doing?" to which he replied "You should have stayed at the party Maxine." At that point, she screamed when Joshua started crying and tried to run upstairs, but was herself hit over the head with the crowbar.
