CASTING ABOUT

Rumor has it Rena Sofer will return to GENERAL HOSPITAL as Lois since MELROSE PLACE has been cancelled. "I heard that rumor, too," laughs Sofer, adding it's not true. She may, however, be returning to ABC. "I got a pilot for a sitcom called OH GROW UP," reports Sofer. "It's hysterical. Lisa Cerasoli [V, GH] is in the episode, too." (Sofer also got a Fox pilot.)
