Patrick Muldoon Dead at 57 — Soap Star’s Sudden Heart Attack Shocks Hollywood

Patrick Muldoon, the charming actor who dominated ’90s TV on Days of Our Lives and Melrose Place, has died from a heart attack. He was 57.

The news hit hard — Muldoon was a fixture in pop culture for decades, playing iconic roles that made him a household name. Friends are remembering him as someone special. “He was endlessly generous — with his poetry, his humor, and his unmistakable presence,” one close pal told Deadline. Those who knew him called him “Bobo,” a nickname that speaks to how loved he was behind the scenes.

Beyond his legendary soap opera runs, Muldoon had a sprawling career in TV and film. He was everywhere — guest spots, recurring roles, the whole deal. But it’s those early roles that cemented his legacy as a total heartthrob of the era.
