In the current storyline of General Hospital, the character of Lois Cerullo has been facing some backlash for keeping a secret from her daughter, Brook Lynn, about the son she gave up at the time of birth (Gio). Brook Lynn got pregnant in her teens with Dante Falconeri, but she decided not to reveal this to anyone, including Dante, and give the child up for adoption immediately after birth.
In the recent episode of General Hospital that aired on May 28, 2025, Olivia confronted Lois about keeping the truth about their grandson, Gio, from everyone. The two got into a heated argument over the fact that Lois did not want Brook's life to be like Olivia's, as she, too, became a mother at a young age.
On a discussion post on Facebook, a fan by the name of Marcia Brown commented,
"I have always loved Lois! She leads with her heart. She would rather ask for forgiveness than permission when she thinks she's right. As a mother & grandmother I felt every one of her tears. Olivia needs to take a breath or have a stiff drink."

Marcia commented on a discussion post started by Gethro Dorcent on Facebook on May 29, 2025, where Gethro wrote:
"Whew! Give Lois an Emmy, a cannoli, and a nap because that woman’s been carrying the emotional weight of the entire borough of Brooklyn AND Port Charles. 💅............... And just like that, Lois crumbles into his arms—because finally, someone sees her heart, not just her secrets. 💔Honestly, this whole scene gave Goodfellas meets Full House and I’m not mad at it."

Many fans of the General Hospital took an interest in the post and commented on it about the scene, and how Sonny comforted her:

On the other hand, some fans of General Hospital made comments about how the soap opera is back with amazing storylines, and also appreciated the acting of the characters on the soap:
