Patricia had to leave Prison Break, a show that she had a recurring role on, so that she could have a regular role on Brothers & Sisters.
Patricia: (on bringing work home) I know that when we did Thirtysomething it was very hard for us to leave it at work. We were so in the middle of that show. But Brothers & Sisters is new, so we'll see where it ends up going. Hopefully, you can bring it home to a certain extent and then that's enough; it's back to our lives.
