Didn't Duffy guest star in an episode of the original Star Trek, sometime around 1967?
108.207.168.184 ( talk) 03:15, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
I don't see what's wrong with this page. Everything on it seems to be confirmed by the IMDB biography. 128.12.53.90 09:17, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)
...what about (date - )? Dysprosia 01:38, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
When claiming that someone is an active Buddhist, it is advisable to mention the school. That is especially true of artists. I checked a number of web sources in an attempt to find out about Patrick Duffy's affiliation, and I am puzzled.
The most common quote claims that he is a Buddhist of the "Nichiren Pure Land school" or somesuch, and that he repeats some "Om Mani" mantra at least once per day. That sounds highly unlikely, since there is not a Nichiren Pure Land school. In fact, Nichiren Buddhism is very different from (and incompatible with) Pure Land Buddhism - and the "Om Mani" mantras are not compatible with either, being from Tibetan Buddhism. Either Patrick Duffy meant that statement as a joke, or he is REALLY into syncretism, or someone goofed while getting the info about his religious practice. My best bet is that he is actually a Soka Gakkai member (like Tina Turner, which I tend not to consider a Buddhist school (unlike its grandparent organization, Nichiren Shu).

I've seen these animated gifs on enough image boards that I think this meme may be worth at least a brief mention, although I don't know their original origin or maker(s) enough to contribute anything worthy to the article. Anyone perhaps a bit more knowledgable can add it in? -- 69.234.208.76 23:46, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
Aye, similar internet memes are mentioned on the wiki entries of the respective celebrities, and ther are enough of those "Patric Duffy floating head of doom" gifs to make it relevant. I think the fad was originated on the SomethingAwful forums.
Not to sound dumb, but what's the deal with this? 67.149.28.67 19:40, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I removed this image. It is clearly a promotional image from a heavily copyrighted television show. The copyright holder, Warner Bros, continues to sell and market "Man From Atlantis". It was also not a good representation of Patrick Duffy as it displayed him having webbed fingers. This compromises the informational value of the wikipedia article about Patrick Duffy. I added an image that I believe is a much better representation of Patrick Duffy, from his own free to use website. I added what I believe to be a strong fair use rationale. [1] Planeis ( talk) 14:23, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
Well, seems someone didn't like the image I uploaded, so now the display image for Patrick Duffy is this "Man From Atlantis" photo. I don't care personally, I don't have any special love for Patrick Duffy, but the idea that this promotional image from a heavily copyrighted TV show is appropriate is frankly ridiculous. It doesn't even serve any informational value because its not a true description of Patrick Duffy. Does he have webbed fingers? No. Then why does his display image show this? Planeis ( talk) 12:16, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I am very aware that its a film still. Thank you. Your attitude about this is really frightening. If you had brought up the idea of it being a film still here on the talk page, I would have happily discussed it. Planeis ( talk) 20:26, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Removed sentence at the end of the "Career" section stating:
Sadly, Duffy took his own life on December 1st, 2009 by eating his own head in front of a live studio audience on the season premiere of the highly acclaimed Richard Simmons Smile Time Variety Hour.
Although amusing, he has not yet eaten his own head. -- Imwithid ( talk) 14:27, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
There doesn't seem to be a source cited for the bit about his distant cousin being jailed in Ireland. I could find references to a Declan Duffy being imprisoned in Ireland, but nothing to confirm the familial relationship to Patrick Duffy. Unquist ( talk) 00:49, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
Why does the opening paragraph contain the phrase: "from 1978 to 1985 and from 1986 to 1991"? Wouldn't that just be from 1978 to 1991? Am I missing something here? 74.228.64.159 ( talk) 21:00, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
Because he was gone for a year from Dallas. They wrote him off the show, he was gone for a season, and then returned when a character woke up from a dream and the audience was essentially told the entire previous season had been all in that characters head. 167.102.150.4 ( talk) 13:49, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
No mention yet of Duffy and Crab? 165.214.4.22 ( talk) 23:50, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
This one.
"According to longtime fan and future crewmember, Andrea Cantrell, she was asked to create a photo album of the Ewing Family, in 2012, who was having difficulty finding as many appropriate pictures as she could, though many of the new cast members could only provide recent snaps, and her efforts were further hampered because the image of two original Dallas stars, late actors Jim Davis and Barbara Bel Geddes, are controlled by the handlers of their estate. Then, after struggling, Duffy came to the rescue, who asked his wife to send a box of pictures to Cantrell. All the pictures Duffy's real-life family were taken, decades ago (before Duffy's parents were murdered, in real-life), as well as a baby picture of Patrick, himself. His real-life mother also bore a slight resemblance to Bel Geddes, whose character made a photo of her holding baby Patrick, exactly what Cantrell needed. His real-life late parents made a cameo on the revised Dallas series."

[1] This source doesn't clearly say the wife died. It says "on this day 6 months ago" (posted on 23 June 2017), which means it could have happened on 23 December 2016 not on 4 January 2017. — Za wl 14:06, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Months ago I added a reference to Patrick Duffy being in a relationship with Linda Purl. This has completely disappeared from the "Talk" section. My reference was deleted because it referenced the NY Post page 6. Now it seems that the reference is back and that Instagram is now considered a "reliable source" as to the pair being in a relationship? What gives? Aspenguy2 ( talk)
There are at least six articles "Patrick Duffy" and more under Pat and Paddy or with middle names. To keep with the style of the other "Patrick Duffy" articles I propose this article be moved to "Patrick Duffy (actor)". UaMaol ( talk) 19:51, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
