PATRICK THORNHART
"Over the course of his tempestuous two years in Llanview, Patrick Thornhart proved himself to be the ultimate romantic hero - passionate, wounded, and sincere. A latter day Heathcliff, this brooding Irish poet cherished midnight picnics under the stars with the woman he loved, and restful evenings curled up before a fire of smoldering peat with his beloved Margaret nestled safely in his arms."

Thorsten Kaye
(Patrick Thornhart)

"In my screen test, I walked in and learned I had to do a kissing scene. Susan Haskell walked up to me and said, 'I just want to tell you that there'll be no tongues.' I thought, Great, because that's what I wanted to do, tongue everybody and go home. It was very awkward; but I like to tease her about it now."
