It’s the General Hospital comeback nearly three decades in the making.
On Tuesday, Oct. 10, Rena Sofer reprises her Daytime Emmy-winning role as Lois Cerullo after a 26 year absence — and we have your exclusive first look at the character’s Port Charles reappearance.
As you can see in the above clip from Tuesday’s episode, Lois’ return catches both daughter Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and ex mother-in-law-from-hell Tracy (Jane Elliott) by complete surprise.
After getting hit with a mini-barrage of insults from Tracy, Lois explains that she high-tailed it out of Bensonhurst as soon as she heard the news that her beloved “Brookie” had been fired from her high-profile gig at Deception Cosmetics. Brook Lynn wastes no time letting her mom know that the evil mastermind who sent the pink-slip ball rolling was none other than, yep, her wicked grandmother (aka Tracy).
Cue the fireworks.
Lois’ return comes as ex-husband Ned (played by Sofer’s real-life ex-hubby Wally Kurth) deals with a bout of amnesia. He’s convinced that he’s Eddie Maine, his rock-star alter ego from the ’90s. Ned’s current wife, Olivia — who was initially devastated about ‘losing’ Ned — has now found herself falling for Eddie.
As longtime GH fans will recall, Lois initially took a liking to Eddie, unaware of his true identity. The pair wed in 1995, but the honeymoon phase ended once Lois found out that Ned was also married to Mary Beth Evans’ Katherine Bell. (Ned eventually won back (and remarried) Lois, but the on-again/off-again couple divorced a second time when Ned chose his family (and their fortune) over her.
Afterward, Lois skipped town and gave birth to their daughter, Brook Lynn.
Lois resurfaced seven years later, when she was played by Lesli Kay. The character was last seen in 2005.
It’s not clear how long Sofer’s Lois will be sticking around PC, although a GH source tells TVLine it’s “a nice run.”
I’ve always crushed on her!
Always. And still do.
The actress wasn’t available..so Brooke Lynn went to her…
Ned did say once that Lois had come and gone while Brooke Lynn was slashed by Nelle but everything was done offscreen!
She‘s amazing! 😍😍
Where’s the clip? I see nothing…….
If you have an Ad blocker for this page or browser then the video will not appear or load. I had to disable my AdBlock app to see the video on TVLine.
It is a good video clip.
Oh thank you!!! :) I thought the video was taken down!
Great scene!!!!! It’s like she never left.
I want her to say 4eva!
So Lois doesn’t come when BLQ is “pregnant” or gets stabbed and her many other soapy problems. But comes when she’s fired? 🤨

I 4 one cant wait. Love Rena. She was great on both soaps the bold abd tge beautiful as quinn and lois ob gh. She is fabulous
Iconic
so glad to see her back! she was one of my favorite characters . hope she stays on for a long while.
Eeek! LOIS! Rena Sofer is incredible. B&B was SO dumb to let her go, but their loss is our gain and all that.
The great and gorgeous actress Rena Sofer was fabulous as Quinn Fuller when she was on
The Bold and the Beautiful…
When she left B and B, it definitely was their loss.
Not to mention she was great as lawyer Margaret Allison Hart on NCIS! Honestly, she could have been Gibbs’ Ex-Wife #5.
I’ve only been watching GH since the pandemic, so I don’t know this character, but can we keep her!? I love her already.
Hi, I’m sure she will shake things up and maybe with Eddie….Good luck Rena!
PS ..miss you on Bold.
To many comings and goings.
Paid work is paid work.
She’s definitely going to bring some Excitement to the show!!!
Lois!!! Returns!!
It will be great to see Lois back, I loved her
Where’s the scene I can’t see it.
It will be nice to see Rena a g aunt, but why are we barely seeing any screen time for Roger Howarth, Genie Francis and so many others. Why continuously bring in other former actors?
Gh has enough characters. Please. No more
Soooo looking forward to Lois returning!
I can’t to see Rene again.
Will truly enjoy seeing Rena Sofer on General Hospital again after all these years, she’s a beautiful and awesome Actress🕊️
I see no clip on this page.
Sooo disappointed that Magnum PI wasn’t picked up! There are some ridiculous shows that are kept. Magnum was a great TV watch!! I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels this way.
? I watched the premiere of the new season of Magnum last week on NBC!
