The show’s cast and GH family suffered much loss, and celebrating the lives of their dear friends. In December, General Hospital’s success shined at the Daytime Emmy Awards.

General Hospital Execs Announce Major Changes
According to the latest General Hospital spoilers, things are going to be different behind-the-scenes. While many times change is feared, it’s also viewed as a time to grow. Today, GH news reports confirm that General Hospital has name two new Head Writers! It’s been revealed that Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor never longer hold the position. Upon their departure, Patrick Mulcahey and Elizabeth Korte take over as Head Writers.
Reportedly, Korte and Mulcahey are no strangers to the longest running television drama. In fact, Korte has written for GH since 1995, and held co-head writing position in 2001. Additionally, she co-created GH spinoff, Night Shift, with Robert Guza. As for Patrick Mulcahey, credits include, Search For Tomorrow, Texas Loving, Santa Barbara, Guiding Light, and The Bold And The Beautiful. Moreover, his credits include his role as script writer and associate head writer from 1983-1999.
I don’t know about you all, but it seems to me that great potential lies ahead with the recent changes. These “new” writers share GH history, which could make for some solid writing for the future of Port Charles.
