General Hospital

General Hospital (GH) spoilers for the week of January 29, 2024, tease that there is a flurry of coming and going to talk about for the fictional town of Port Charles, New York.

This week a bad guy we thought we had seen the last of pops back up and there is news about a front burner character’s departure.

But first let’s talk about a monumental shift going forward for the ABC daytime drama. Last week it was announced that head writers Chris

Van Etten and Dan O’Connor are no longer with the show and have been replaced by current GH script editor Elizabeth Korte and veteran soaper Patrick Mulcahey (GH, Santa Barbara, Guiding Light).

There will be some changes on the horizon no doubt and it will be interesting to see how the show evolves under the new writing regime.
