General Hospital spoilers for the next two weeks reveal Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) lives, but someone else dies – and GH announced who will replace Jean Passanante as Shelly Altman’s co-head writer.
There is a lot to see for the next two weeks, including life or death drama. The latest Soap Opera Digest reveals that someone will lose their life, but it seems quite unlikely that it will be anyone important that kicks the bucket. Look for Garvey to be the one pushing up daisies very soon.
Chris Van Etten promoted to co-head writer at GH
It was recently retired General Hospital writer Jean Passanante that announced her replacement the morning of Saturday, July 29, on Twitter . When a fan gave Jean a lukewarm farewell saying she gave GH fans a “few” good story lines, but took a jab saying that she hoped that Jean would be replaced by someone that respects the soap’s history. Jean replied that Chris Van Etten was stepping up to be co-head writer alongside Shelly Altman.
Most recently, Van Etten served as a breakdown writer on General Hospital, as well as a script writer and outline writer. Chris Van Etten has also worked as a writer on One Life to Live from 2007 to 2012. Jean Passanante called Van Etten “a brilliant writer” and said he’s a lifelong fan. Let’s hope that Van Etten will bring his deep historical knowledge to bear since Jean Passanante and Shelly Altman have faced a lot of criticism for disregarding known facts of GH history .
Shelly will have Chris Van Etten as co-head, and he’s a lifelong fan and brilliant writer.

General Hospital spoilers week of July 31-August 4
Next week on GH , Sam is in a coma but don’t expect her to meet her maker the week of July 31 – or anytime soon. Kelly Monaco shared a pic from the ABC set of her shooting new scenes with co-star Billy Miller. Jason Morgan (Billy Miller) worries about Sam’s condition and holds a vigil at her bedside while she lingers in a coma. Jason also visits Garvey (Rick Ravanello) to try and get the truth out of him. Dr. Bensch (James de Paiva) is back next week as part of the General Hospital drama.
Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) holds Garvey down while Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) gets help, so Garvey winds up at GH and under arrest at the same time. Garvey continues to insist that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) is dead, but he’s still in the pit. Next week, Sonny gets a visit from Stone Cates (Michael Sutton) while he’s clinging to life and fighting to make it through his ordeal. Jason interrogates Garvey as soon as possible while Sam struggles to get back to reality.
