General Hospital Spoilers: GH Lines Up Possible Sasha Exit – Does Sofia Mattsson Have A Future On Soap?
General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that what seemed to be a short term role has lasted much longer than expected, but do they have the makings of a long term character? The character in question is Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson). Viewers were in on the fact that Sasha wasn’t really Nina Reeves’ (Cynthia Watros) long-lost daughter almost from the beginning, so the likability factor for this character seemed doomed from the start.
General Hospital Spoilers: But Sasha kept coming back
Due to Sofia Mattsson’s portrayal, Sasha kept returning to Port Charles. She was used as a foil for Kiki Jerome (Hailey Erin) and Griffin Munro’s (Matt Cohen), but she was set up by Ava Jerome. And her character’s guilt and reluctance to hurt Nina really seemed give the character added depth. But the turning point was when they paired Sasha with Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell). Although the relationship was strictly casual at first, the chemistry between the was obvious.
General Hospital Spoilers: But then… the bird flu
But suddenly, Sasha was poisoned with a strain of the bird flu by Cassandra Pierce (Jessica Tuck) as revenge against Nina. It seemed like character might have it’s course. But Sasha survived, and Michael and Sasha grew stronger a couple, and began to actually fall in love.
Sasha even confessed her role in the impersonation scam to Michael and he kept her secret, further solidifying them as a couple. When the truth came out, it seemed like Sasha might go to jail, but Nina dropped the charges, and Sasha stuck around.
General Hospital Spoilers: Wedding to Willow
But now that Sasha is pushing for Willow Tait (Katelyn McMullen) to marry Michael, once again it once again seems like the character might be exiting Port Charles. And Sasha other storyline, The Deception Launch could easily take her out of town especially with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) a major investor in the company.
One has to wonder if Valentin invested in Deception to get some sort of revenge on Sasha for helping to blow up his relationship with Nina. He could easily force Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) to move Sasha out of Port Charles, and away from Michael. Sasha has even mentioned the Italian market. Was that foreshadowing her character being sent off to Italy?
