General Hospital Spoilers – Sasha Gilmore, The Queen Of Sadness And Sorrowful Outcomes

Sasha has seemed to be the queen of sadness and sorrowful outcomes since the character’s introduction in 2018; from bird flu, to kidnapping, she’s been through it all!

Her brief happiness with husband Brando Corbin (Johnny Wactor) was marred by the loss of their premature baby Liam Mike Corbin (uncast infant) and later Brando’s murder.

She’s been through drug addiction and grief over her dead baby, and broke down on air on a live tv show as a model for Deception cosmetics.

If that wasn’t enough, she nearly died from a heart attack due to an overdose of an experimental street drug given her by Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober). And now she finds out the man she’s in love with is her first cousin, and they can’t be together!

GH Spoilers – Everyone Was Surprised By The Reveal Of Sasha Gilmore’s Parents

The recent twist in General Hospital has left nearly everyone in shock: Sasha is revealed to be the daughter of Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) and Holly Sutton (Emma Samms).

While this revelation provides Sasha with a rather chaotic family dynamic, it also uncovers the fact she and Cody are first cousins, with his father being Mac Scorpio (John J. York).

Given their passionate romance, this news is the last thing they expected, and unfortunately, it signifies the end of their relationship, before it even had a chance to reach full potential.

In hindsight, perhaps that’s for the best. “Many fans were disappointed that they never got to consummate their relationship,” she explained, “and it was challenging to keep quiet about why their interruptions were a blessing in disguise!”

General Hospital Spoilers – Sofia Mattsson Has Mixed Feelings About The Big Reveal

Mattsson has mixed feelings about the big reveal, although she expressed her joy about joining the Scorpio family, saying, “I’m super happy and excited! Since I started on the show, I’ve wanted a family connection, and now, six years later, it’s finally here-I’m thrilled and honored.”

However, this joy comes with the sadness of Sasha and Cody’s relationship ending-“It’s really sad,” she told SOD; “They were sweet together and had the potential to be a great couple.

But I guess I should have expected it; it’s a soap, and happiness doesn’t last long;” hopefully, Sasha will eventually find happiness that lasts.

Although she and Kelly haven’t had much time to talk about their characters’ breakup, she mentioned, “We’re both glad we’ll still be connected, even if it’s as cousins instead of lovers.”
