General Hospital fans have recently seen Sofia Mattsson’s character Sasha hook up with another character. Mattsson herself has opened up the direction her character is taking. The actress also shared her thoughts on a few more twists concerning her character on the show.
Sasha Learned A Surprising Truth About Her Past
Mattsson is a Swedish-born actress who started her career in the early 2010s. In 2018, she started playing Sasha Gilmore on General Hospital, becoming a series regular.
Recently, her character on the show hooked up with her ex, Michael. Notably, this came out after the twist that Sasha and Cody are cousins.
Fans are starting to wonder if something more can come out of Sasha’s fling with Michael this. Others wonder if it was all a mistake. In a conversation with Soap Opera Digest, Mattsson herself shared her thoughts on Sasha and Michael’s brief reunion.
On one hand, Mattson felt Sasha had some regrets about the fling. As she noted, “He’s a married man, and to one of her best friends. It was wrong on many levels. A stupid mistake she’s surely going to have to pay for!” The actress was then asked if she thought Sasha still had feelings for her ex.
The actress shared that, “I think at the time they broke up, she still had feelings for him. But he was clearly falling for Willow, so Sasha had no option but to step back, which hurt a lot when it happened.”
“But with time, she’s definitely moved on — first with Brando [Johnny Wactor] and then with Cody. So them winding up in bed together was definitely a result of drinking, hurting and not thinking straight.”
Sofia Mattsson Also Talked About A Certain Twist
Mattsson was also asked about the reveal about Sasha being Holly and Robert’s daughter and Cody’s cousin. She revealed that she wasn’t given much information before filming: As she noted, “Many people were upset about them never making it all the way, and it was hard to not spill the beans about why it was, in fact, a good thing they kept getting interrupted.”
That said, Mattsson admitted to having mixed feelings about the twist. As she shared, “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.”
However, Mattsson was also sad as it brought an end to Sasha and Cody’s love story. As she shared, she felt the two “were really sweet together and had potential to be a super couple.” However, she also admitted that stories like this were to be expected on soap operas.
