Sofia Mattsson Out of GH Contract, Joins Y&R For Revenge General Hospital Spoilers
In a jaw-dropping move that has stunned the daytime television world, fan-favorite actress Sofia Mattsson has exited her role as Sasha Gilmore on General Hospital and is headed to Genoa City to join The Young and the Restless.
The shocking transition has sparked waves of speculation and anticipation as soap fans gear up for one of the most dramatic character crossovers in recent years.
A Sudden Goodbye to Port Charles
Sofia Mattsson’s departure from General Hospital marks the end of an emotional and turbulent chapter for Sasha Gilmore, who became a cornerstone of the show’s most heartbreaking storylines in recent years. From her devastating loss of baby Liam to her struggles with mental health and addiction, Sasha’s journey was a roller coaster of tragedy and resilience. Viewers connected deeply with Mattsson’s raw and honest performance, making her one of the most compelling actresses on daytime TV.
Despite the impact her character had on GH, sources confirm that Mattsson did not renew her contract, opting instead to explore fresh opportunities — a decision that reportedly came after creative disagreements behind the scenes and a desire for stronger, more empowering material.
Hello Genoa City — and Hello Revenge
Now, in a bold career move, Mattsson is joining The Young and the Restless, not as Sasha Gilmore, but as an entirely new character — one shrouded in mystery and vengeance. Soap insiders tease that her new role will be introduced as a strong-willed, intelligent woman who arrives in Genoa City with a secret past and a score to settle.
Early reports suggest that her character may be tied to a backstory involving the Newmans, the Abbotts, or possibly even the Winters family. What’s certain is that she won’t be playing nice. Mattsson’s new alter ego is said to be driven by betrayal and heartache, determined to dismantle the empire of someone who wronged her family years ago.
“She’s not here to make friends,” a production insider revealed. “She’s here for revenge — and nothing will stop her.”
Fans React: Excitement, Shock, and Hope for Sasha’s Return
The fanbase is already buzzing. Some are mourning the sudden end to Sasha’s storyline, especially since there was never a proper goodbye on-screen. Others, however, are excited to see Mattsson in a role that promises more control, power, and complexity than she was ever given on GH.
“This is the Sofia Mattsson I’ve been waiting for,” one fan tweeted. “Let her be ruthless, let her destroy lives. I’m here for it!”
Still, many remain hopeful that this won’t be the last we see of Sasha Gilmore in Port Charles. Given that her character wasn’t killed off, the door remains wide open for a potential return, either full-time or for a special arc in the future.
What’s Next?
CBS has yet to release an official statement, but Sofia Mattsson’s reps have confirmed that her new character will debut in the coming weeks. As for General Hospital, the showrunners remain silent on the abrupt departure — sparking theories about whether Sasha’s fate will be revisited down the line or simply fade into soap opera oblivion.
For now, fans will be tuning into The Young and the Restless with renewed interest, eager to see how one of daytime’s most beloved actresses reinvents herself in a role that could flip Genoa City upside down.
One thing is clear: Sofia Mattsson isn’t done making waves — she’s just getting started.
