General Hospital’s Sofia Mattsson On Her Alter-Ego’s Paternity Pickle: “I’m Thrilled For Sasha”

General Hospital‘s bombshell revelation that Sasha is Holly Sutton’s (Emma Samms) and Robert Scoripo’s (Tristan Rogers) sire threw…well…everyone for a loop, her portrayer included — but Sofia Mattsson is here the inevitable juicy fallout. Bonus? Her formerly islanded character is now a member of one Port Charles’ premiere families. Take that Ms. Snooty Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot)!

Sofia Mattsson Talks Sasha’s Latest Storyline

Per the actress’ recent sitdown with Soap Opera Digest, word of the twist reached her “just shortly before we started filming it. So it all happened pretty fast.

“It was just around the time when we were filming scenes where Cody and Sasha were cluelessly together and kept trying to get intimate but were constantly interrupted. 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!”

An always game Mattsson enthused that she was “super-happy and excited” by the prospective plot. “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.”

And besides, “it’s a soap, I was ready for anything!  That’s part of what’s so fun about filming this show, that the story can take all kinds of directions at any given time and surprise you. I’m always at the edge of my seat when I receive a new script.”

On working with Samms: “It’s been incredible. She’s so sweet, funny and talented. And she’s a GH legend. The first time we ever met was in the makeup chair on the day of filming the scenes when she came to see Sasha at the mansion. So we just had to jump right into pretty intense scenes but it felt so natural and fun. I love working with Emma.”

On working with Rogers: “It’s really lovely and fun. He oozes warmth and kindness and is just a very sweet and funny person to be around. I think him having all those very fatherly qualities makes our scenes very real and heartfelt. I’m excited to have him as an on-screen dad and think our relationship can be very sweet. I’m thrilled for Sasha!”

And as for Sasha’s recent horizontal mambo with Michael (Chad Duell), don’t expect the secret to fester as long as her true parentage. Says Mattsson: “I have a feeling there’s lot of drama and repercussions to come…”
