There's no intrinsic difference, in my opinion.
I can't remember the details now, but wasn't carla the sole proprieter at that time, and luke strong an employee? However, it's pointless worrying about it, for two reasons:
a) in real life, it would depend on the partnership agreement, and
b) this is a soap, and one in which legal realities are completely ignored.
