It’s safe to say that GH fans can accredit General Hospital’s Executive Producer, Frank Valentini for the bit of 90s nostalgia going on in Port Charles. It’s always nice to see familiar faces return over the years, bringing a sense of tradition and history.
Recently, General Hospital’s latest casting news shakes things up around Port Charles, especially the Quartermaine family. Earlier this year, word of Sofer’s The Bold And The Beautiful departure, fans immediately began to speculate a GH return. Finally, Rena Sofer returned to General Hospital as Lois Cerullo after nearly three decades.
According to Soap Opera Digest, Sofer explains how Lois’s return came to be. The actress then detailed the events that lead to her GH return. Evidently, this has been in the works since 2021. Rena explained that she was still playing Quinn on The Bold And The Beautiful at the time the idea originated.
Upon her GH return, Sofer spilled the tea to Soaps In Depth. “Out of nowhere, Frank reached out to me by text asking if I’d be willing to talk to him,” she continued. “I said, ‘Of course.’ The last time I saw Frank was at Courtney Hope (Sally Spectra, The Young And The Restless) and Chad Duell’s (Michael Corinthos, GH) wedding October 2021); we sat with each other and it was really great to see him.
Is Lois Cerullo Here To Stay?
“He was like, ‘I would love to get you back to GH,’” she continued. “At that time, I was still on The Bold and the Beautiful and I wasn’t even discussing it with him. But with this Eddie Maine story happening, it just really seemed like an absolutely perfect time to have Lois come back for a short amount of time to try to get Eddie to remember that he’s Ned. So Frank reached out to me and asked me if I’d be willing to come back for a short amount of time and I said yes.”
“I’ve played a lot of characters in my career and Lois is probably one of the top three characters I’ve ever played in 37 years of being an actress,” Sofer admitted. “So to be able to go back and do it was unreal.
“It’s just interesting to play her at this age,” she added. “She’s still loud and she’s still mouthy. She was still a lot like me, except with a Brooklyn accent and nails. But also, the story isn’t about me. The story is about Brook Lynn. The story is about Eddie Maine and Ned, so I need to respect that. This is not about me coming back and telling my story; this is about me coming back and supporting the stories that are there with me trying to create the knowledge of who Lois is now, 27 years later. So that is challenging, but also, part of the fun.”
Port Charles feels a little more like when I began watching now that Ned, Eddie, and Lois are together again!

Last month, General Hospital news reports confirmed Rena Sofer’s GH return. The iconic actress got her start on Loving from 1988-1991. Then, in 1993 Rena Sofer landed the role of Lois Cerullo from Bensonhurst, on General Hospital. The role became wildly popular as Lois Cerullo brought strength and sass, and a “don’t mess with me,” vibe.
Previously, GH spoilers and rumors speculated about Sofer’s (potential) return after news reports confirmed her Bold and the Beautiful exit. While a current storyline on General Hospital sends a nostalgic vibe, fans being to reminisce of the 1990s in Port Charles. Today, Ned Quartermaine goes by the name Eddie Maine.

GH recaps recall the slip and fall accident that knocked Ned out and triggered a memory disorder. Now, Ned only wants to be be referred to as Eddie Maine, as he has no recollection of his life as Ned Quartermaine.
General Hospital news and spoilers confirm Rena Sofer’s return to GH as Lois Cerullo. An exclusive sneak peek from TV Line gives a look inside Lois’s Port Charles arrival.
Surprise! GH spoilers reveal that Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) opens the door to her mother, Lois Cerullo. She came all the way from Bensonhurst because she read an article about how Decpetion fired her daughter Brook Lynn. Now here she is, at the Quartermaine mansion.
An exclusive clip from TV Line shows a brief clip to Tuesday’s episode. On October 10th, Lois learns that Tracy manipulated and blackmailed her daughter into corporate espionage against Deception.
There’s a phrase that I’ve kept close in my head and heart ever since hearing it. The line is written by a singer/songwriter/musician named Dallas Green. “The lonely life of a writer,” is a line from his band, City and Colour. Everything about those five words resonate in a way that non-writers may not normally understand. Evidently, expression through songwriting can be triggering. Just ask Ned. I mean Eddie, er, no, Ned. Man, I don’t know!
Around Port Charles, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) navigates through life as chaos finds her at every turn. From her job at Deception, to her relationship with Harrison Chase, BLQ has been busy. Additionally, she deals with her father’s identity crisis after he woke up as Eddie Maine.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors reveal that Eddie Maine has flashbacks as Ned! Recently, BLQ focuses on her career as a music manager. Amidst the daily drama, Brook Lynn stays true to her passion, music. While BLQ and her dad Ned butted heads about ELQ, she and Eddie work collaboratively as members of the music industry.
GH spoilers tease that Eddie’s songwriting process triggers Ned’s memories. But that’s not all. Since Eddie and BLQ double down to finish his song, she just might be there to witness a quick glimpse of her dad, Ned. According to recent GH rumors, Eddie Maine has flashbacks as Ned while he and Brook Lynn try to finish his song. Will he remember what he wanted to tell Drew before he fell?
I am big on music, especially lyrics. As a writer, it’s second nature for me to listen closely and analyze every line, down to each and every lyric. Because what’s created for, or heard in song has a unique way of guiding us through our journey. Have you ever heard a song or a certain part of it and was instantly brought back to a specific place and time in your mind? Well, music has some powerful attributes, including helping people in a coma find their way to consciousness. So why wouldn’t it trigger memories of another life? That is, if you have an alter ego! ????
There has been talking surrounding Rena Sofer’s exit from The Bold and The Beautiful as Quinn Fuller, and the possibility of a General Hospital return as Lois Cerullo.
General Hospital news and spoilers confirm that Rena recently sat down with General Hospital star and State of Mind host, Maurice Benard, opening up about her life as an actress, marriage, specifically marriage to GH’s Wally Kurth, divorce, and her upbringing.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Sofer disclosed some personal details about her marriage to GH co-star, Wally Kurt. Rena and Wally, aka Lois Cerullo and Ned Ashton, met on the set of ABC’s General Hospital, fell in love and got married. Rena reveals details about their breakup, and how they both realized they weren’t in love. She explained to Maurice how she and Wally fell in love on tv, and when she left the soap opera, they then both realized they weren’t in love, but their characters were in love. “Those characters, we lived and breathed them so much, but when I left we really learned that [pause] we, I really like Wally a lot, he’s an incredible guy. He’s just not the guy for me.”
Rena also divulged on how she got started into the business, her upbringing in New York, her bus trips alone at 15, moving to LA, marriage, children, and more.
The full State of Mind interview with Maurice Benard and Rena Sofer can be seen on STATE OF MIND.
