Taylor is set to come on to the show to portray Patricia "Trish" Walker.
"Trish is a syndicated radio talk show host, former model and child TV star known to her adoring fans as "Patsy" Walker. As Jessica Jones’ closest friend, Trish helps her embark on the most dangerous case of Jessica's career."
The character was first introduced back in 1944 and became "Hellcat" in 1976. At the moment it is unknown whether Patricia Walker will become Hellcat in the show or not but the possibility is there and that is great! Executive Producers Melissa Rosenberg and Jeph Loeb spoke about the character and having Rachael Taylor cast for the role.
"“The character is a star and a powerhouse, and required an actress who is both,” said Rosenberg. “Rachael is all that and more!”
“Rachael's ability to embody a character that must balance both the darker and lighter elements of our series will provide a perfect emotional anchor for Jessica Jones,” said Jeph Loeb, Executive Producer/Marvel’s Head of Television. “Rachael blew us away with her grounded, humanizing take on Trish, adding yet another layer to the complex, emotional story we’re telling with this series.”"
