Brief Character History
Lois Cerullo's life changed in 1994 when she
attended a concert in Buffalo and saw a man named 'Eddie Maine' perform on
the stage. Lois was a band manager and hired 'Eddie' not knowing that he was
really Ned Ashton! Lois was a tough cookie from Brooklyn who saw great things
in her new singer. The two soon fell into bed together, Lois believing the
whole time that Ned was 'Eddie Maine' a traveling pharmaceutical salesman.
Lois dreamed of the day that 'Eddie' would quit his day job and sing full
time. Lois was truly head over heels with her 'Eddie'. 'Eddie' married Lois
and moved her to Port Charles where Lois met old friend Sonny Corinthos, a
person she knew from Brooklyn. Lois also became best friends with Brenda
Barrett and the two decided to open their own record company, L & B Records.
Sonny backed the two as a partner. Meanwhile, Ned was marrying Katherine Bell
who was blackmailing the Quartermaines! Brenda begged Ned to tell Lois the
truth, that he was Ned Ashton but Ned couldn't hurt the woman he truly loved.
One day, Lois was watching TV and saw her 'Eddie' on screen...but as Ned
Ashton! She also saw that Ned was married to Katherine! Lois was humiliated.
During a birthday party for Katherine, Lois popped out of a giant cake with a
special wish. "Happy birthday to Mrs. Ned Ashton from the other Mrs. Ned
Ashton!." Lois left Ned and tried to cope with the fact that she was lied to
by everyone. it took a while but Lois learned to forgive her close friends
but didn't know if she could forgive Ned.
In 1995, Ned tried to get Lois to love him again. Lois was stubborn but
eventually gave in, under one condition...no more lies. In a glorious church
wedding, Lois and Ned were married. The union suffered some though when Lois
was told by Brenda that she thought her current beau, Sonny, was a mobster.
Lois told Ned privately but Ned hated Sonny and wanted this mobster to stay
away from his family. Ned told Mac and Lois was hurt. She didn't know if she
could trust Ned anymore and blamed his ways on his dysfunctional family.
In 1996, Lois requested that Ned distance himself from the Quartermaines.
Lois, who was then pregnant with Ned's baby, reached her breaking point when
Ned's mother, Tracy Quartermaine, returned to Port Charles to takeover ELQ.
Tracy hated Lois from the very start. Eventually, the takeover attempt failed
and Tracy was kicked out of town but ELQ was still in financial trouble due
to Tracy's ways. Lois told Ned to choose between his job and her and the
baby. Ned chose his job and Lois made the hardest decision of her life.
Determined not to let her unborn baby be poisoned by the Quartermaines, Lois
left Ned went home to Brooklyn. Lois still loved Ned be couldn't be with him.
Lois later gave birth to a baby girl who she named Brook Lynn after her
favorite city.
A year passed and in 1997, Lois felt guilty that Ned had not really seen his
daughter, Brook Lynn. Lois went to back to Port Charles and told Ned that
she couldn't keep him away from his daughter forever. However, Lois insisted
that her visit was not a reconciliation but still, the two loved each other.
It was during that time that Monica Quartermaine was being sued for sexual
harassment by Pierce Dorman. Ned was forced to take the stand and expose the
fact that he had slept with his aunt years before he came to Port Charles.
Lois told Ned that she could handle the affair with Monica but not his lies.
Ned said that he would change but he didn't. Lois overheard Ned blackmailing
Justus ward over the fact that Justus had killed Damian Smith. Lois left town
with the baby. She returned for a few days to comfort Brenda after Sonny left
her standing at the altar. Ned was out of town that week, although Lois did
have an uncomfortable meeting with Alexis at the Q mansion.
