Ned Quartermaine and Lois Cerullo are fictional characters and a former couple on the ABC daytime soap opera, General Hospital.
The pairing was so popular that a GH spin-off about the couple titled, Heart and Soul was pitched by then-headwriter Claire Labine. The spin-off was going to be set in Bensonhurst and focus on Ned, Lois and their families. However, in the end, the show was not picked up by the network, who decided to go with the competing spin-off series, Port Charles because it was more cost effective.
The role of Ned was portrayed by actor Kurt McKinney from 1988-91 and by actor Wally Kurth from 1991-2007 and 2012-present. Rena Sofer originated the role of Lois Cerullo from December 15, 1993 to October 2, 1997. Lesli Kay stepped into the role briefly on June 1, 2004 until March 2005. Sofer returned to the role in autumn 2023.
Lois Cerullo first appeared on General Hospital in 1993 as a band manager. When she saw Eddie Maine perform at a New York concert, she was impressed with him and immediately hired the artist known as Eddie. What she didn't know was that "Eddie" was actually Ned Quartermaine. Lois believed that Eddie was a singer by night, and a traveling pharmaceutical salesman by day, and Ned let her, never once correcting her beliefs. Their relationship grew and soon they fell in love and got married. After their wedding, Ned and Lois moved to Ned's home town of Port Charles, New York.
While there, Lois was re-introduced to her old friend from Bensonhurst, Sonny Corinthos. Through Sonny, she quickly became close friends with Sonny's girlfriend Brenda Barrett, and together the two opened their own recording company, called L&B Records, also known as Lois Cerullo and Brenda Barrett Records. More time passed and Lois was still in the dark about Ned's true identity.
Meanwhile, Katherine Bell was blackmailing Ned's family, the Quartermaines and as a part of her blackmail, she was forcing Ned to marry her. Nevertheless, Ned still refused to tell Lois the truth because he didn't want to hurt her and he didn't want her to know that he had been lying to her all this time.
Lois eventually found out about his true identity from the television. While watching TV, she discovered that Eddie Maine was actually Ned Quartermaine and that he was married to Katherine as well. Furious, Lois decided to confront him and did so at Katherine's birthday party. During the party, she popped out of Katherine's cake, and said "Happy Birthday to Mrs. Ned Ashton, from the other Mrs. Ned Ashton!" Then she left Ned, effectively ending their relationship.
Lois was heartbroken, but Ned wasn't ready to give up on their relationship and pursued her hard to win back her heart. Eventually she gave him a chance and they reconciled. Ned later asked Lois to marry him and she accepted his proposal on the condition that there be no more lies in their relationship. He agreed to this condition and Ned and Lois were married again. While wed, Ned and Lois went through some pretty tough times. The conflict began when Ned revealed to police commissioner Mac Scorpio, that Lois's friend Sonny was a mobster, after Lois had told him this in confidence.
Lois was hurt that Ned betrayed her trust, but they were able to overcome this hurdle and the real threat to their relationship came in the form of Ned's family. Lois wanted Ned to distance himself from the dysfunction of the Quartermaines and Ned's mother Tracy Quartermaine had hated Lois from the moment they met.
