TV BIO:
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Patricia "Trish" Walker is presented as a childhood friend of Jessica's. Flashbacks show us that Trish is a former child actress, whose abusive mother adopted a newly orphaned Jessica in order to get free publicity. Although their relationship has a rocky start, they eventually become closer after Jessica uses her powers to force Dorothy to leave them alone. Unlike Jessica, Trish is excited that her friend has developed superpowers, and constantly encourages her to take up superheroics, to the point that she even creates her a costume.

Currently, Trish is a radio talk show host and has her own show, "Trish Talk". During the series she serves as Jessica's confidant and assists her in her search after Kilgrave. Unfortunately, her actions cause her to be targeted by him, and he brainwashes a police officer, Will Simpson, to kill her. Luckily, his plan is foiled by Jessica. The attack leaves her in shock, to the point where she almost shoots Will when he comes back to apologize for his actions while he was under Kilgrave's control. Luckily, she does not, and they begin a romantic relationship. Their relationship comes under strain, however, when their conflicting methods about how to deal with Kilgrave causes him to start sabotaging Jessica's actions, and deteriorate even further when Kilgrave attempts to blow him up. An injured Will, in desperation, contacts his old spec-ops unit in order to procure special pills that help him heal. The pills have an unfortunate side effect of causing him to become violent and irrational, to the point where he locks up Trish and tries to murder Jessica. Trish manages to escape, and after consuming some of Simpson's pills, helps an injured Jessica knock him out (an attempt that nearly costs Trish her life).

Trish recovers and assists Jessica with capturing Kilgrave by acting as a decoy to surprise him. Despite a few setbacks, their plan succeeds, and they manage to stop Kilgrave once and for all.
