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!

General Hospital Spoilers: Eddie and BLQ’s Song Writing Triggers Ned’s Memory- Eddie Maine Has Flashbacks As Ned!

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.

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! ????

Tracy sends Ned to Ferncliff?! It’s difficult to tell if Ned Ashton Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) genuinely believes he’s his 1990s rockstar persona, Eddie Maine, or if it’s a dirty scheme.
