London Bound: Patrick Duffy Jets Off to UK Capital

Patrick Duffy’s London Announcement

Former Dallas star Patrick Duffy has fans buzzing after sharing a simple Instagram post announcing his next international stop. On April 25, Duffy posted a sleek image of himself at an airport gate with the lone caption “London bound….” It’s a brief sign of the actor’s love for travel and a hint that new plans are afoot across the pond.

In the Instagram image, Duffy stands poised near a jetway, tote in hand and a boarding pass in view. He wears a navy overcoat, classic aviator shades and a subtle grin. The minimalist caption sparked speculation that he may be heading to the United Kingdom capital for a project or perhaps a much-needed getaway. Within hours, fans showered the post with comments ranging from simple cheers to guesses about a stage revival or TV appearance overseas.

From Dc Tours To Global Getaways

This isn’t the first time Duffy has documented his travels on Instagram. Back in July 2023, he posted a striking black-and-white photo with the caption “…touring DC..join us…,” which captured his quick stop in the nation’s capital. The shot showed him walking past the marble columns of a historic building, inviting followers to join his sightseeing trek. A few months earlier, he shared a sunny farewell snap from Tokyo, captioned “Sad to leave… sayonara for now🙏💖🇯🇵,” marking the end of a brief Japanese excursion.

Connecting History And Travel

Duffy’s wanderlust often meets his passion for history. In a November 2022 post, he quoted the Gettysburg Address—“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation…”—while visiting Pennsylvania’s Civil War memorials. The actor’s affinity for American landmarks shows that his journeys go beyond sightseeing; he pauses to reflect on stories and speeches that shaped the nation.

A Career Defined By Adventure

Fans first fell in love with Duffy as Bobby Ewing on the hit TV series Dallas, which aired from 1978 to 1991. After the Dallas revival and a turn on Step by Step in the ’90s, Duffy pursued varied roles on screen and stage, always with an affable charm and eagerness to try something new. More recently, he joined fellow veteran actress Linda Purl for Love Letters, an A. R. Gurney stage production performed at the Orinda Theatre in California on February 10, 2024. The two appeared together in a critically praised, live reading that highlighted Duffy’s knack for intimate theatre.

Beyond acting, he and Purl have turned their creativity toward the kitchen. In 2023, Duffy launched Duffy’s Dough, a sourdough starter business that ties together his passion for baking and community. His Instagram frequently showcases fresh loaves and seasonal specials, from 20 percent Easter discounts to festive St. Patrick’s Day sourdough designs complete with shamrock imprints.

What’s Next For The Dallas Star

With that background in mind, his new “London bound” update could mean more than a casual holiday. Fans are wondering whether he plans to debut Duffy’s Dough in European markets, stage a theatrical tour, or simply mix business with pleasure by exploring famed bakeries and West End theatres. London’s historic theatre district would be a logical next step after his positive reception in California, and a European bakery run could give his sourdough brand fresh momentum.

At 74, Duffy shows no signs of slowing down. He remains active on screen with guest appearances and maintains a busy schedule on stage. A European outing could open fresh doors and spark another chapter in a career defined by surprise detours—from prime-time drama and sitcoms to heartfelt theatre and artisanal bread.

For now, followers will have to wait for more updates. As he shares his London snapshots, social media will fill with questions—and likely some mouthwatering bakery photos. Until then, “London bound….” is the perfect one-liner from an actor who has spent decades making every role—and every trip—feel like an adventure.
