It would be fascinating to know at what point in 1986 did Leonard and Patrick know they were coming back? And how quickly was it from initial confirmation to filming the shower scene?
As i’ve often said I think the shower scene was the real problem. It sounds as if Katzman said let’s make it all a dream and then they shot the shower scene and then planned out the next series.
What should have happened was for them to have held back Patrick’s return to season 10 and then spend time developing how to bring him back in a realistic way. But they essentially gave themselves no options by shooting the shower scene and hurriedly adding it onto the end of season 9
