‘General Hospital’ Alum Sofia Mattsson Joins ‘Days of Our Lives’

Last July, the actress bid farewell to Port Charles after seven years. Her character Sasha left Port Charles with baby Daisy, aided by Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), to live with her parents, Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) and Robert Scorpio, played by the late Tristan Rogers. The actress was thrilled to have her alter ego tied to such legendary characters. “I loved it so much!” she enthuses. “I had been wanting a family connection since day one on the show, so I was so glad it finally happened. And both Emma Samms and Tristan Rogers are lovely to work with and very sweet in real life. I really wish we would’ve explored their relationships more. And the rest of Sasha’s family connections through the Scorpios!”

But it was a bittersweet exit, with Mattsson noting, “It was emotional for sure. Cleaning out my room and knowing that I wouldn’t see all my friends there like usual every other day felt sad. But everyone was so supportive and excited for me.” She was excited about her next chapter, adding, “I’ve had such a great time, but I’m also excited for a new chapter and to continue my acting journey in new projects.”

At the time, she told TV Insider she was open to returning to daytime if the right opportunity came along, saying, “I’d have to see what the role was, but I’m definitely not opposed to coming back to the soap world. I think being on a soap is one of the best jobs you can have as an actress.”
