Sofia Mattsson’s emotional exit from General Hospital has left fans wondering what’s next for the beloved actress. After seven powerful years as Sasha Gilmore, she’s ready for new opportunities. But with her openness to returning to soaps, could another daytime drama be her next stop? Let’s explore the possibilities.
A Graceful Exit From General Hospital—And Hints of a Return
After seven years as Sasha Gilmore, Sofia Mattsson officially left General Hospital on July 18. Her character exited Port Charles alongside baby Daisy, heading toward a peaceful new life. While it was a heartfelt goodbye, the actress hasn’t ruled out another daytime role.
In fact, during a recent interview, Mattsson said she would “definitely not [be] opposed to coming back to the soap world.” Her fondness for the genre is clear. She even called daytime TV “one of the best jobs you can have as an actress.”
Four Soaps. One Fan Favorite. Where Could Sofia Land?
The soap world is no stranger to casting crossovers. Recent swaps include Billy Flynn jumping from Days of Our Lives to The Young and the Restless, while Conner Floyd is doing the opposite. With that trend heating up, fans are asking—could Sofia Mattsson be next?
She has options. The Young and the Restless could be a natural fit, especially with Michelle Stafford (ex-Nina, now Phyllis) already on board. Their past chemistry could create new sparks in Genoa City.
The Bold and the Beautiful offers style, drama, and family feuds—perfect for an actress with elegance and emotional range. Her look and vibe would fit right in with the Forresters or Logans. Days of Our Lives, with its outlandish twists and time-jumps, could let Mattsson explore a wilder character side. Imagine her as a DiMera heiress or a long-lost Brady!
Even the newer soap Beyond the Gates might offer her a chance to help build something from the ground up. For a star looking to reinvent herself while staying true to her roots, this could be exciting. Each show has strengths that match Mattsson’s skill set. Whether it’s love triangles, courtroom chaos, or corporate rivalries—she can do it all.
Why Mattsson Is the Perfect Pick?
Sofia Mattsson built a loyal fanbase during her General Hospital run. Viewers saw her grow through heartbreak, addiction, grief, and romance. Her performances left a lasting mark, and her graceful exit only increased admiration.
Now, producers across daytime are surely paying attention. She brings range, poise, and relatability—qualities that any soap would benefit from. Fans would welcome her with open arms on any show she joins next.
Sofia Mattsson may have wrapped up her time on General Hospital, but her daytime journey likely isn’t over. With actor swaps happening fast, a role on Y&R, B&B, DOOL, or Beyond the Gates feels more possible than ever.
