Patrick Mulcahey is an award-winning American TV writer who graduated from Yale University.

He is often considered one of the better script or dialogue, writers to be currently working in Daytime. He wrote The Bold and the Beautiful's 5,000th episode and played a significant part in creating the role of Carly Benson. In a recent interview, he acknowledged his close friendships with CBS Daytime's Senior Vice President Barbara Bloom, Robert Guza Jr., Nancy Lee Grahn, and the late Douglas Marland, accused Gloria Monty of decimating General Hospital, and called Jackie Smith and John Conboy ""clueless and comical". He described the working relationship between Wendy Riche and Guza Jr. as "oil and water", and speaks highly of her. He also spoke highly of former Guiding Light head writer, Nancy Curlee, calling her a "meticulous" writer whose presence is greatly missed on daytime television. ^[1]
