I've just noticed that by this September he'll have an unbroken run of fifteen years, five times longer than Angie Watts. That's also longer than Phil (1990-2003). Can anybody think of other supposedly minor characters who've lasted this long?

Billy Mitchell's been a regular since 99 (guest in 98) and he's probably considered a minor character

Definitely a great character and a long standing one at that, but I don't really know what people say qualifies as a 'legend' in terms of character status?

For me, as much as I love Patrick, I would say no he isn't. The likes of Den, Angie, Peggy, Sharon, Phil, Grant etc are legends in my book because they have had some of the biggest and most widely known storylines of EE with the divorce papers, Sharongate etc. Even Kat I would probably say is somewhat of an EE legend because of the "you ain't my muvva".

There's a difference between long-standing and legendary.

I like Patrick he is a great character certainly deserving of more screen time and his own story lines.

Yes you need long term characters like him

What has he done though to make him legendary?

He slept with Pat.

That makes him a legend.

That doesn't make him a legend, it does however make him brave
