On General Hospital, Lois may have slipped out of Port Charles again, but anyone who’s watched this show long enough knows she’ll likely return in the near future. And while fans wait for the next big Brooklyn thunderclap at the Quartermaine mansion, Rena Sofer stepped offscreen for a moment to use her voice in a different way — one that doesn’t involve family drama or Bensonhurst battle cries, but a real-world push to get food onto tables and into shelters where it’s desperately needed.General Hospital: Sofer and Marcil’s call to action View this post on Instagram Instagram PostOn Instagram, GH’s Rena Sofer wrote: “Please join me and @vanessamarcilmlovesk on January 10, 2026, to raise critical funds for 4 amazing organizations…Let’s make 2026 the year that HUMANITY WINS!!!” It landed with the kind of urgency that cuts through the scroll — not a promo, not a tease, but an ask.The video that came with it pulled things even closer to the heart. Sofer started simply: “Hey everybody, I hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving.” Then she laid out why she and Vanessa Marcil are teaming up for Snap Out Hunger, a fundraiser supporting two human food banks and two pet food banks. She didn’t dress it up; she just put it plainly: “We know times are tough, and we don't ever want anyone to have to choose between putting food on the table for their human families or for their fur babies.”She promised auction items, including some of her own ceramics, plus celebrity guests and three hours live on Zoom. The tone wasn’t glossy — it was neighborly. A nudge to show up for each other. “Let’s check on our neighbors,” she said. “Let’s check on pets in need.”The ripple effect is already reaching fansGeneral Hospital's Lois | Image: ABCTwo of the featured organizations chimed in almost immediately. Forgotten, Now Family Rescue, in Charlotte, North Carolina, wrote, “Couldn’t love this more . Thank you friend,” and Sofer met them with the same warmth she brought to the video: “What you do is so inspiring!!! I hope we make enough for all the people you help!!”Colorado Pet Pantry added, “Thank you so much! We’re so grateful for your support!” and Sofer replied right back: “And we are so grateful for what you do!!” It set the tone — a fundraiser that already feels like a community.And because this is daytime, and because fans are who we are, it’s impossible not to imagine how electric it would be if Marcil ever popped back into General Hospital as Brenda. Lois and Brenda, reunited and raising hell in Port Charles? If the show wants a jolt, that’s a jolt. But for now, the reunion’s happening in real life — two women using their platforms to make 2026, as Sofer keeps saying, “the year that humanity wins.”General Hospital can be seen weekdays on ABC and Hulu.
