General Hospital Co-Head Writer Patrick Mulcahey Released from Position

The soap opera world is buzzing with the latest news of a behind-the-scenes shake-up at General Hospital. Co-head writer Patrick Mulcahey has been released from his position just a little over three months into the role, leaving fans wondering what changes are in store for their favorite daytime drama.

Mulcahey, who took on the role alongside Elizabeth Korte earlier this year, has left his position, with Korte now serving as the sole head writer. This sudden change comes just months after the duo replaced the previous head writers, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor. Van Etten has now returned to the staff as a breakdown writer, while Korte will continue to lead the writing team.

The impact of this shake-up is sure to be felt in the storylines, casting, and overall direction of the show. Viewers can expect to see material crafted by the Mulcahey/Korte team airing through mid-summer, with more news on the new writing team to come at a later date.

Mulcahey and Korte both have a long history with General Hospital, with Korte having served as a writer on the show since 1994. Mulcahey, on the other hand, has worked on and off with the soap opera over the years, as well as on other daytime dramas like The Bold and the Beautiful, Guiding Light, Santa Barbara, and Texas.

With General Hospital recently winning a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, fans are eager to see how these changes will impact the show’s future success.
