Wednesday’s episode of General Hospital brought with it the return of Rena Sofer in her signature soap role as Bensonhurst’s Lois Cerullo.

The highly-anticipated return featured key moments with Lois reuniting with her daughter, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), her nemesis Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot), her bestie, Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero), and her ex-husband, Eddie Maine AKA Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth).

For longtime GH viewers, it was a great to see Daytime Emmy-winner, Rena Sofer back on the ABC daytime drama series after 26 years away!

In story, Lois is upset about what happened to Brook Lynn and Deception at the hands of Tracy.  Meanwhile, she is in-the-know on Ned believing he is “Eddie Maine”.  After some back and forth, Olivia convinces Lois to stay at the Q’s, even though she doesn’t get along with Tracy,

Later, as Lois catches Olivia up on the old neighborhood. and lets Brook Lynn know she needs to come visit her grandparents more often, “Eddie” enters the room and says he knows Lois.  She responds, she would think so, because she is his ex-wife and the mother of Brook Lynn. “Eddie” says “no”, he believes he knows her from somewhere else.

Is Eddie thinking back to the dream he had earlier in the episode when Eddie was performing shirtless on stage and in the crowd watching him was Olivia and Lois?  What feelings will Lois’ arrival bring out in him?

Meanwhile in a touching performance, Chase (Josh Swickard) is reeling from learning the news that his father, Gregory (Gregory Harrison) has ALS.  Gregory shows up at Chase’s apartment to talk to him about the revelation, and Chase breaks down in tears in his father’s arms.

Later, as he speaks to his father, Chase shares he doesn’t blame him for not telling him about his diagnosis. Finn (Michael Easton) arrives and at first, there is a tense moment between the brothers, but in the end, Gregory realizes he has both his sons by his side for whatever time he has left, and to enjoy all the moments they will have before the disease ultimately takes his life.

So, what did you think about the return of Lois Cerullo to Port Charles? What did you think about the scenes between Josh Swickard and Gregory Harrison? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

The Devil predicted that we would see Lois return the minute that Ned lost his mind and retreated into his Eddie Maine delusions. So far, it’s the only good thing to come out of that ridiculous story. Great to see Lois again. Can’t believe she’s been gone for 26 years.

Will Lois be the one who helps Ned figure himself out? Hell knows somebody’s gotta do it! And I’m sure she’s going to do battle with Tracy too, considering what happened at “Deception”.

I’m hoping Lois sticks around a long time. Definitely through the Hellidays, at least.

LOVE LOIS!!!!

I think Eddie may fall in love with Lois again. This will create a rivalry with Olivia the likes of which Eddie may never recover from!

So cool to see Rena back

I heard of Lois but I never actually heard of her until I started watching general hospital, so it was quite a shock to see her, and the look on Tracy’s face was priceless! And I think josh and Greg are doing an excellent job in their storyline especially chases tears it was very emotional especially for me! A lot of the issues they address in the show affects everyone who watches! So keep up the good work josh, Greg, Amanda, and the rest of the cast

Rena Sofer is a Beautiful woman and a welcome. I do hope Lois gives Tracy an attitude adjustment. Tracy is a tornado to wrecken with. Enjoy both actresses. So blessed to have Rena Sofer (Lois) on the show.

Nothing great about Lois. Whats the big deal ? Not the best actress for sure
If sheceas to put new life into the show it was a miserable failure

Not sure what you watched, but Rena is a fine actress and Lois’ history with current characters is yet to be tapped into.

Been a little boring to me so far, where’s all the sparks and fire?I’ll take Olivia anyday!

Great return of Rena Sofer as Lois on GH. Did not watch 26 years ago when she was previously on the show, as I was a Guiding Light viewer back then. But I loved her as Quinn on B&B and knew that she would be a blast with Tracy Q. Welcome back!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other

The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.

Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).

When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.

Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.

What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.

REPORT: Nicholas Chavez Not Returning to General Hospital

For those who were holding out hope that Daytime Emmy winner and fan favorite, Nicholas Chavez would be returning to General Hospital after filming his leading role in Ryan Murphy’s Monsters anthology, it looks like those hopes have been dashed.

According to a report from TV Line, although unconfirmed from General Hospital or a representative for Chavez, the actor will not reprise his role as Spencer Cassadine on the long-running ABC soap opera and continue the love story of Sprina opposite Tabyana Ali (Trina, GH).

Chavez was cast as Lyle Menendez over the the summer of 2023 for the second season of Murphy’s limited Monsters series on Netflix. In the upcoming season, the series will focus on the the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez, the two well-to-do Beverly Hills brothers accused of murdering their parents in 1989.

After word from Chavez casting was revealed, GH fans were concerned over the fate of the Sprina story, a spokesperson for GH shared,  “We support Nicholas’ endeavors and look forward to having him return to General Hospital once this project is wrapped.”

In story, the series “killed off” Spencer when he went overboard with Esme to the steely waters below after being injected with a drug, thanks to Esme and falling into the Seine River in France. However, his body was never recovered, and believed to have drowned or washed away. Thus, leaving an opening for Spencer to return in the form of Chavez or be recast down the line.

TV Line shared that ‘multiple sources’ are confirming that Chavez is not returning to the ABC soap opera, which is what many had suspected might be the case once he left for this major starring role in a Ryan Murphy project. Chavez has been relatively quiet on social media for months.

The Michael Fairman Channel spoke with Nicholas Chavez for a virtual interview when he first joined the show in 2021, and spoke to him right after when he won the Daytime Emmy in 2022 – you can see those below.
