Original Commentary

Terrence and I have very different opinions about just who Patrick is, is going to be and how he will interact with the people around... we have a very similar problem with Jane. I think this happens more with characters that are new and don't have any pre-history to who they were before they were in the comic and don't have much personality off the bat. Then again, we are still having this problem with Emily and she's about 3 or 4 years old... hmm... -Isabel

Modern Commentary
He could have talked to the investors first, before he spent all his money. But he thought he could get away with it. Unfortunately, most of the investors stand to make more by dismantling Mr. Taylor's tenuous new empire before it starts

As far as the original commentary, Jane ended up being a lot closer to Isabel's ideas than mine and that's a good thing.

I'm not entirely sure what our conflicting plans were for Patrick; hopefully the details will return to me - Terrence
