Garin Wolf is a writer, who served as Breakdown Writer, Associate Head Writer, and Head Writer for the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital, and Script Writer for its spinoff Night Shift.
Biography[]
Garin Wolf began as a writer for GH in 1996. During the Writers Strike of 2008, Wolf temporarily took over head writing duties. When Robert Guza, Jr. was let go in July 2011, Wolf was chosen as his replacement. Shelly Altman joined Wolf as co-Head Writer in October 2011. However, a few months later, Wolf reverted to his previous role as a breakdown writer when Ron Carlivati, the former head writer of the discontinued One Life to Live, was recruited as the new head writer for General Hospital, starting January 9, 2012. Wolf continued with GH until August 2012. Besides General Hospital, Wolf also served as the head writer for As the World Turns between 1985-1988 and 1993-1996.
Trivia[]
Wolf, formerly a member of Writers Guild of America West, left and maintained financial core status during the 2007โ08 Writers Guild of America strike.
