My first memory of watching Pat was when she got mugged, sometime in the 80s. I don't think I paid much attention to her beforehand, but as I was only young at the time, I was shaken up by it and then interested to see how she coped afterwards
Mine was when she first arrived and had a completely different, nasty personality. Yet another character who had a personality transplant. Great scriptwriting.
And one of my favourite memories was when she killed someone when drinking and driving. Lovely person.

I remember her first scene too - bursting into the launderette and surprising Dot and Ethel.
My favourite Pat moment was the famous Christmas 1986 episode, when she spent the whole time winding up Pete and Kathy.
When she got mugged and beaten up and blamed Pete, she had only just come into the show
I thought she hadn't been in it long when it happened, but she wasn't a character I paid much attention to until then, as I vaguely remember not liking her originally, so I wouldn't have been surprised to learn she'd been in it months by the time that happened
My first memory of Pat would be from the late 80s, early 90s (before I watched the show). All I remember is her sitting at a kitchen table giving a severe bollocking to someone, and coming across as much more aggressive and outspoken than the softer and more matriarchal figure she settled in to.
I only remember her from the early 90's on. I think the first memory of her was when she was sent to prison for drink driving. I remember Janine getting bullied by girls in school because her stepmum was a jailbird.
There's a fantastic scene from December 1987, where Pat's in the Dagmar pouring her heart out to Angie about how lonely she is. It's a very moving and beautifully acted scene.
I'm old enough to remember Lou Beale giving Pat a telling off and saying how nobody liked her. I think it might have been just before she was attacked by the Walford Attacker!

i remember that. But I also remember Arthur and Pete were squabbling and Pauline is told of Pats arrival on the square and she said
"Those two might be a pair of bulls but that one is a COW!"
