Other citizens in the town of Elmo included.
- Derek Richardson as
Celia's son Patrick O'Bachelorton who runs the town
inn. He really hates the way his mother is so clingy. Celia arrested
Patrick once for pulling a reckless stunt. While in jail, Patrick
refused to speak to Celia, even after Celia baked him cookies shaped
in the message of "I Love You" (The letter "I", the shape of a
heart, and the letter "U"). Eventually, they resolved their
differences, but the mother son dynamic was always at the root of
something or another in their lives, like the time Celia tried to be
patient as she taught Patrick how to drive. She insisted he follow
the rules. He just wanted to drive.
Patrick's last name of O'Bachelorton is compilation of the "O" from
Annie "O'Donnell (Patrick's fiancée), his original name "BACHELOR", and
"TON" from his
biological father Buzz Washington (John Amos), an African American
pilot who owns one of the only planes that flies people in and out
of Elmo. Buzz also has a gay son named George Washington.
