In a surprising twist for fans of the long-running soap opera General Hospital, the character Sasha Gilmore, portrayed by Sofia Mattsson, has been revealed to have deep-rooted connections to the iconic Scorpio family. Introduced in 2018 as the daughter stolen from Nina Reeves, Sasha’s storyline has taken an intriguing turn with the revelation that she is actually the secret daughter of Holly Sutton and Robert Scorpio.
This shocking revelation not only redefines Sasha’s character but also complicates her romantic life, particularly her budding relationship with Cody Bell. In a twist of fate, it turns out that Cody is the biological son of Mac Scorpio, Robert’s brother, making him Sasha’s cousin. This familial connection adds layers of drama to an already complex narrative.
In an exclusive interview with Soap Opera Digest, Sofia Mattsson shared her thoughts on the recent developments in Sasha’s story. Fans have long expressed curiosity about Sasha’s background, and Mattsson admitted that she too was eager to explore her character’s origins. “With so little information revealed, I’ve had to make things up myself and fill in her story in order to get into character,” she explained. “But I’ve always hoped the day would come when we would actually get to know more about her past, and I’m very excited it’s finally here!”
Mattsson revealed that she learned about Sasha’s true parentage shortly before filming pivotal scenes with Cody. “It all happened pretty fast. It was just around the time when we were filming scenes where Cody and Sasha were cluelessly together and kept trying to get intimate but were constantly interrupted,” she said. Many fans were frustrated by the lack of progression in their relationship, unaware of the significant family twist that was about to unfold.
When asked about her reaction to the news, Mattsson expressed her joy and excitement. “Super-happy and excited! I’ve been saying since the moment I got on the show that I would love to have a family connection, and now six years later it finally happened! I’m very thrilled and honored,” she stated.
The revelation that Sasha had been keeping the secret about her mother, Holly, for all these years adds another layer of complexity to her character. Mattsson noted, “Sasha has always been very vague about her mother and her past, so I figured she was hiding something very big. And being as it’s a soap, I was ready for anything!” This unpredictability is part of what keeps the cast and audience engaged, as new scripts can introduce unexpected twists at any moment.
As the story unfolds, viewers are left wondering how these revelations will impact Sasha’s relationships, particularly with Michael Corinthos, her ex-boyfriend who is currently married to her best friend, Willow. The intricate web of relationships in Port Charles continues to evolve, promising more drama and intrigue in the episodes to come.
