Here are the top stories in Center Moriches-Eastport today:

1. Sadly, Susan Lucci lost her husband Helmut Huber, a native of Austria, at the age of 84. They met in the 1960's in Garden City where they worked together, Lucci a waitress and Huber a chef. They were familiar faces at Westhampton Beach until they sold their Quogue estate in 2016. “Helmut’s passing is a tremendous loss for all who knew and loved him. He was an extraordinary husband, father, grandfather, and friend,” Lucci’s rep said in a statement. (Page Six)
2. Wednesday at 10 a.m., a call came into the Eastport Fire Department reporting a fire on Old Country Road. When arriving, Second Assistant Chief Steve Schaefer reported that two sheds behind a home were fully engulfed in flames, according to the Eastport Fire Department. It took extra equipment and a combination of water and foam to extinguish the flame, but luckily, no injuries were reported, official said. (Patch)
3. The Netflix film, “Leave the World Behind,” shoots in Riverhead next month! The filming will be between April 25-29. Don't miss seeing Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke, Oscar winners Julia Roberts and Mahershala Ali in this suspenseful thriller. (Riverhead News Review)
4. Wednesday night, just after 8 p.m., the Southampton Fire Department, responded to a report of a fire in a large house on Lewis Street, off Rogers Avenue, in Southampton.
