General Hospital has been on fire lately following the revelation that Gio (Giovanni Mazza) is really Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) son.
Thanks to keeping the bombshell secret, Lois (Rena Sofer) is front and center in the aftermath. Her betrayal has pitted many people in Port Charles against her, especially her daughter and Gio. Sonny (Maurice Benard) seems to be the only one showing Lois grace and understanding.

Lois’ lie has her backed into a corner, and now fans are wondering if she won’t leave Port Charles behind and return to Bensonhurst. No doubt that would be Gio and Brook Lynn’s first choice.
Neither General Hospital nor Sofer has mentioned anything about the actress exiting the show. Sofer no longer appears to be on contract, though, as eagle-eyed soap fans noticed she isn’t in the show’s closing credits anymore.

Even with Sofer being a recurring player, she could get plenty of screen time on the hit ABC soap. However, when Sofer returned to General Hospital in 2023, after a 26-year hiatus, it was only supposed to be for a short run.
It’s been well over a year since Lois has been back on the canvas, so this could be the end of Sofer’s temporary run on the show.
The good news is that Lois can always pop in and out as needed. After all, the fallout from the big Gio reveal will last for months, even years.
Make sure to keep watching the hit ABC soap to find out if Lois is really leaving Port Charles or if it’s just a rumor fans started cause they are mad at the character.
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.
