[edit] Character

Roger was the result of an affair between Linda Barrett, an employee at Patman Canning, and Paul Patman. When Paul was killed in a plane crash, Linda raised Roger with her married name. Roger was unaware of this for the first sixteen years of his life.

He appeared early in the series as a boy with a hopeless crush on Lila Fowler. Lila thought very little of him, especially when she discovered he was poor and worked as a janitor. He later began a relationship with Olivia Davidson.

When his mother died of a heart attack, he learned the truth of his paternity, and moved in with Paul's brother, Henry Patman. Bruce and his mother Marie didn't like Roger initially but came to tolerate him.

Roger and Olivia's relationship survived an attempt by Jessica to split them up, but later fizzled into a close friendship.
