Here's breif history on Patty
In the early 1980s, Patty fell in love with Jabot heir and playboy, Jack Abbott, much to her parents' disapproval. A jealous Jill Foster then confessed to Patty that she and Jack had been secret lovers. A furious Jack fired Jill from Jabot. Patty then started dating Danny Romalotti in an attempt to forget Jack. Patty eventually broke up with Danny and much to her parents horror, began dating Jack.
Model, Diane Jenkins, had been having an affair with Jack hoping to become Jabot's top model. Then Diane fell hopelessly in love with Jack, and began to delude herself that she would end up Mrs. Jack Abbott. But Jack decided to marry young and innocent Patty in an effort to show his father he'd finally "grown up." Jack was even found in bed with Diane by his sister Ashley when late for his wedding to Patty. Diane and Jack continued their affair even after his marriage, then Diane threatened to tell Patty about it, if she didn't get the top model job at Jabot. So Jack gave her the job for the summer, but by fall, Julia Newman was instead appointed spokesperson for Jabot's new line of products. When a pregnant Patty was prompted by the scheming Jill to visit Jack at his office, she found him making love to Diane. She was so traumatized that she tripped over a plant in the lobby, and later miscarried. After her recovery, Patty told Jack she wanted another baby, and to move out of the Abbott Mansion into their own house. When she later overheard Jack making plans for a vasectomy, and telling Jill he only married her so John would make him president of Jabot, Patty showed up at Jack's office ready to kill herself in front of him. Jack admitted how cruel he had been to her, begged her not to, and to shoot him instead. So she shot Jack three times. The shooting left Jack temporarily paralyzed, but he eventually recovered after surgery. Patty's father Carl was the detective working the case, and was convinced Jill was the shooter. Patty had lost any memory of the shooting or what led to it until Jack and her psychiatrist forced her to remember by re-enacting the shooting. Once she remembered, she left Jack and divorced him.
Patty returned to town about a year later and dated Danny again, but after he agreed to marry his friend Traci who was pregnant by a married man, Patty left town again.
Victor dragged her back to GC to get revenge on Jack. I'm guessing Mary Jane wants to keep her real idenity a secret, so she wants to stay far away from Paul as possible. I always thought they had a pretty good relationship
THAT BIRD WAS GROSS!!!!!!! 
. She's never gotten over Jack or the pain he caused her so now she's back for revenge. That would be hysterical if Jack saw her petting the stuffed cat & recognized it as theirs from the past!!
Yay!!! 
I hope Nick goes to Victor and rubs this in his face!! "Which family should I save now???? Would that be Noah's family, or the new baby's family, or sweet innocent Summer and her perfect little mama???" Did I say I can't stand Phyllis??
