Brief Character History
Marty Saybrooke was sitting in the Wild Swan Inn in Ireland when all of a sudden Patrick rushed in and started kissing her, trying to hide from the men who were chasing him. The men are from a terrorist group, the "Men of 21" and Patrick has some evidence that can uncover their plot, although he doesn't know what it means yet. Patrick later hides again, this time in Marty's room and the two grow closer and eventually make love. Todd Manning comes to Ireland to bring Marty back to Llanview and stays to help Patrick. Todd ends up getting shot in Patrick's place and Patrick uses Todd's passport to get to Llanview.
He is still being pursued, especially by one Irish official, Inspector Bass. Maggie Carpenter helps Patrick escape from Bass and he turns himself in to Bo Buchanan and the Llanview police, who help fight his extradition. With Marty's help, Patrick figures out the code in the sheet music, which is the evidence the terrorists have been chasing him to recover, and they learn about an assasination attempt. Patrick tries to stop the plot, but ends up getting shot. Before getting away, he does manage to hear the voice of the mysterious 'Poseidon', the head of the 'Men of 21'. Marty nurses Patrick back to health and he helps Bo disarm the bomb which is about to blow up the Palace Hotel, where Marty and Dylan Moody are celebrating their engagement.
On the day of Marty's wedding, Patrick goes to the church to convince her to stop the wedding, but she goes ahead and marries Dylan anyway. Eventually, Patrick hears Carlo Hesser's voice and realizes that he is 'Poseidon'. When Patrick takes a boat and tries to follow Carlo's yacht, Marty tags along and they both end up getting stuck on an island, where they grow close again. Patrick and Marty almost get back together, but when Dylan hurts his back and is paralyzed, Marty decides she must stay with Dylan.
Unable to be with his true love, Patrick starts hanging around with Blair, they even plan to put on a Shakespearian play in Angel Square together. Patrick and Blair make love and Todd, walking in and seeing them, vows revenge on Patrick. After a while, Dylan finally is able to walk again and Patrick and Marty get back together. But danger continues to follow Patrick and he and Marty are almost blown up in the Wild Swan Inn (now moved to just outside Llanview). Todd tries to frame Patrick for Carlo Hesser's murder, but the charges are eventually dropped. Patrick learns that Blair is pregnant and promises to support her through the pregnancy, despite the problems it causes with Marty. Unfortunately, the baby is never born. Baby Brendan is killed and Blair is severly injured when Kelly Cramer accidentally runs
Patrick's car off the road.
Determined to get revenge on Patrick, Todd investigates him and learns that Patrick was once involved with the bombing death of Lord Whiting in Ireland. Todd sets up a similar explosion on Guy Armitage's yacht and plants evidence to make Patrick look guilty. Unintentionally, Guy is blown up along with his yacht and Patrick is arrested for the murder. He is later cleared when an ATM video tape shows that he was nowhere near Llanview when the bombing occured.
Everything finally seems to be going well for Patrick and he and Marty are planning their wedding when a terrorist named Mahoney comes to town to kill Patrick. He is afraid that Patrick will implicate him in the bombing of Lord Whiting and wants to kill him before he can talk. Mahoney tries to shoot Patrick at his wedding reception, but misses and hits Mel Hayes instead. Mahoney then heads for Todd Manning's apartment to kill Todd (he's afraid Todd also knows his name) and Patrick follows him and confronts him there. Both Mahoney and Patrick end up shot and apparently killed. Marty rides with Patrick's body in the ambulance and all of a sudden he begins moving, he's still alive. Marty manages to get Patrick out of town with almost no one realizing he's still alive (Bo, Nora and Mel know the truth). When last seen, Patrick and a pregnant Marty were heading to Ireland to live, hopefully out of danger since almost everyone believes that Patrick is dead.
When Marty returned to Llanview years later with her son, Cole, she revealed that Patrick had died in San Diego.
