General Hospital Spoilers: Head Writers Return To Save Show, Ditch Sad Stories

General Hospital (GH) spoilers suggest that the header writers are returning. Fans are hoping they will save the show from the current state it’s in.

They’re calling on the writers to ditch the sad storylines and bring back the lightness and humor. Keep on reading to learn more.

General Hospital Spoilers – Head Writers Return
The General Hospital spoilers reveal that the show’s co-head writers, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor, will return. Now that the writers’ strike is finally over, the soaps can go back to using their team of writers.

Throughout much of the year, the storylines were picked up by scab writers. GH fans complained that the scabs made the show seem more depressing than usual.

The user Oakie posted on the SoapCentral.com Message Boards: “I hope Chris and Dan ditch all these bummer stories. I do not want to see this surrogacy story with Kristina play out. We are talking about two years of this awful mess. I hate the thought of this story climaxing with Kristina kidnapping the baby.”

The original poster suggested other storylines the head writers should ditch. They’re also not interested in Dr. Hamilton Finn’s (Michael Easton) malpractice lawsuit.

Gregory Chase’s (Gregory Harrison) declining health, Esme Prince’s (Avery Kristen Pohl) amnesia, or Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) moping around Port Charles.

The user did note that Esme’s amnesia is concluding. This could be a clue that the head writers are transitioning away from the sad storylines.

Fans took to the thread to share their thoughts. Most of them revealed what they would like to see in 2024.

GH Spoilers – No More Soapy Nightmare
According to the General Hospital spoilers, there should be more soapy nightmares now that the head writers are back. Most fans are annoyed by all the focus on Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros).

They would like to see her leave Port Charles permanently. But, that won’t happen since she has a huge fanbase.

One fan argued: “These are Chris and Dan’s stories, the temporary writers were left 5 months’ worth of outlines that the temporary writers were to follow, their job was to fill in the dialog and maintain the direction of the show…” Another responded: “Yes, and I think they’ve done a good job. We were all complaining about certain aspects of the show before the temporary writers stepped in.”

GH fans are mixed on the current storyline. Most are happy to have the head writers back, while others enjoyed the storylines for the past few months.

Some argued that General Hospital should step up its game after all their Daytime Emmy wins. Some would love to see less storylines involving the mob and the SEC.
