Rena Sofer is saying goodbye to the West Coast.
The General Hospital star, who plays band manager Lois Cerullo on the ABC soap opera, announced she’s moving out of Los Angeles after nearly 35 years.
“Yes I’m getting emotional,” she wrote on Instagram Aug. 4. “I had my children in LA met the man of my dreams and created an incredible life there. I had amazing success in the Biz and made all my lifelong friends who I will miss desperately.”
According to Rena and her husband Sanford Bookstaver, with whom she shares 20-year-old daughter Avalon Leone Bookstaver, they are moving to New York state with their five dogs.
“Thank you LA for being you,” added the actress, who is also mom to artist Rosabel Rosalind, 28, with ex and General Hospital costar Wally Kurth. “And now on to quieter and calmer times.”
E! News has reached out to ABC for comment on Rena’s departure but hasn’t heard back. However, a source close to the 56-year-old told E! News Aug. 7, “There has not been a conversation about her leaving the show.”
