TV will never see another character like Patty Hewes, who has been played expertly by Glenn Close for five seasons. Because Glenn Close will likely never do a regular TV series again, as she told me in an interview. Patty Hewes, a mix of evil, misunderstanding and conflict, has terrorized Ellen Parsons Rose Byrne and viewers for years, yet you can't help but feel sympathy for the character.
And when the series ends, you won't be able to shake that feeling. This character is so bad, she's pure entertainment. However, the legacy of Patty will live on in the shows that came after "Damages" featuring flawed, powerful female leads.
I doubt it. The unapologetic woman in power, going head-to-head with her male counterparts in a professional situation isn't new, but "Damages" made it acceptable. Think about "Homeland" and how Claire Danes' character, Carrie Mathison, is so committed to her cause she's not afraid to break laws to do what she thinks needs to be done.
Sound familiar? The character of Patty Hewes was a trailblazer for the current state of characters on TV. Are you sorry to see Damages end? Would you be interested in seeing the characters return some day?

Not that fond of the lead character. Ellie or what ever her name is. Ever scene she has with Glenn Close she gets blown completely out of the water. She spouts out the lines but not believable at all.
Glenn Close can act, this gal is just kind of there yet the show is from her point of view. It is really a nice and helpful piece of info. I am glad that you just shared this helpful info with us.

I would love to see Damages return. I have watched it since the very first episode. Home News Cancelled or Renewed? He asks what happened to her little girl and Patty, referring to Julia, says she was stillborn.
Patty sees Catherine outside, pressing her hands against the glass door. Now we see young Patty standing in a field with blood on her hand. Patty jolts awake on her couch. Another dream. Patty stares straight ahead for an unusually long time as her driver takes her to the office. Next Post ». Inline Feedbacks.
Meenu Kochhar. January 6, am. August 30, am. May 2, pm. If you look at where Ellen and Patty are at the beginning and where they are at the end, I think it's a great modern tale. It was a fantastic ride - a modern tragedy. Do you feel like part of what set Damages apart from other TV shows was its strong female leads?
It seems to be a great time now [for female characters] It's funny that television, particularly cable, is the place where women are finding great parts. I mean, Patty Hewes is a great character Do you think what Patty really wanted was a family? She lost her father and her son and dreams of an idyllic 'family' scene with Ellen in the final episode That's always been a conflict, even in the pilot. There's a scene in the pilot where I think I really found Patty - I'm at my son's school for a meeting and Ellen has brought me some papers to sign.
