Van Etten (not to be confused with the GH co-head writer of the same name) is a real-life military veteran-turned-actor who made his daytime debut in November of 2017. His character Chet was introduced as the sibling of Nurse Amy Driscoll (Risa Dorken).

And speaking of Dorken, she was one of the first to congratulate her costar on the birth of his beautiful baby boy.

"Congrats, bro!" she wrote. "Milo is absolutely gorgeous! How wonderful. Sending my love to you and Sam!"
