After an illustrious career, Rena Sofer has decided to close a significant chapter in her life by leaving Hollywood. Known for her role as Lois Cerullo on ABC’s “General Hospital,” Sofer is relocating after nearly 35 years in Los Angeles. This move marks a new beginning as she transitions to life in New York state with her family and pets. Her departure comes with a mix of emotions, reflecting on her rich life experiences in L.A.
Emotional Farewell to Los Angeles
Rena Sofer expressed heartfelt sentiments as she announced her departure from the West Coast. “Yes I’m getting emotional,” she reflected on Instagram. Los Angeles has been more than just a home; it’s where she raised her children, met the love of her life, and built a successful career. Sofer cherishes the lifelong friendships and the incredible memories she has created in the city. This new chapter takes her to New York state, where she seeks a quieter, calmer pace of life alongside her husband, Sanford Bookstaver, their 20-year-old daughter Avalon Leone Bookstaver, and their five dogs.
New Beginnings and Family Bonds
The decision to leave Hollywood was about more than just a change of scenery. For Sofer, it’s an opportunity to embrace a fresh start. She shares Avalon Leone with her husband Bookstaver and is also a mother to Rosabel Rosalind, 28, with her ex and fellow “General Hospital” star Wally Kurth. Sofer’s move northward is a step towards a new lifestyle that emphasizes family and tranquility. “Thank you LA for being you,” she added, signifying appreciation for the vibrant past as she turns towards a serene future.
General Hospital and Rena’s Future
While her departure from Los Angeles is confirmed, questions about Rena Sofer’s future on “General Hospital” remain. ABC has yet to comment on her exit, despite inquiries. An insider shared with E!
