GH was the only daytime drama to be nominated in the category this year, which made its win inevitable. The series won last year's WGA award, as well, under the direction of Ron Carlivati (who now serves as head writer for Days of our Lives).
So proud of #GH winning #WGAawards Best Daytime Drama!! @MichelleAltman1 @PFossil @GeneralHospital
