Longtime "General Hospital" showrunner Jill Farren Phelps has been replaced with "One Life to Live" executive producer Frank Valentini, ABC announced Thursday.

The network also said "One Life to Live" head writer Ron Carlivati is taking the same position on "Hospital".

"Frank and Ron's creativity, passion and outstanding leadership will be a welcome addition to the cast and crew, as well as viewers and longtime fans," said Brian Frons ABC's president of daytime programming.

"As creative leaders in the industry, I am very excited for their arrival to General Hospital, and their dedication to the genre will certainly invigorate the daytime drama that has been part of pop culture and the TV landscape for many years."

Hopefully GH will prosper I can't get into the show cause of all the new characters all the originals are gone or have reduced roles. I would like to see a GH Reboot with new actors in the original parts such as, Steve and Audrey Hardy, Leslie and Rick Webber, Jeff Webber, Jesse Brewer, the Baldwins, Quartermains, etc.
