Has GH’s Sasha’s storyline gone too far?Sasha Gilmore’s (Sofia Mattsson) current storyline has General Hospital fans up in arms. Sofia gives a stellar performance in every scene, especially these recent emotional and psychological breaks. She really makes the audience feel for Sasha. And let’s just say that if Gladys Corbin (Bonnie Burroughs) were real, she’d be receiving an overwhelming amount of hate mail and potential death threats (not seriously).
General Hospital news reports share polarizing views among GH fans. One of GH’s current, front-burner stories has everyone running to their keyboard. Together, Sasha, Gladys, Dr. Montague, Cody, and more, makes up the main characters in this intense tale. A tale indeed, except Sofia’s performance makes it feel like we aren’t watching a tale at all. Her emotions are so moving that she makes it hard for me to hold back my own emotions as I watch.
While we admit that it’s extremely difficult to watch, the whole point is for the actors to deliver realistic emotions. In doing so, we as an audience are meant to feel what humans feel. Watching Sofia handle these scenes is chilling, and the performances she delivers are stellar. Truthfully, Mattsson needs to win an Emmy for this. That being said, it’s hard to fathom why fans would want this story to end and deprive Sofia of her time to shine? If the actress has an issue with what was written for her character, then maybe there’s room to ask questions and make demands. Until then, please allow these artists to instead express their crafts without the threat that “fans” will stop watching.

GH spoilers and news reports reveal that many fans took to social media to speak out against Sasha’s story. Below you will find fan’s quotes regarding this controversy.
“Sasha didn’t deserve this and neither did the fans” -anonymous GH fan
Cody’s determined to see Sasha! …Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) suffers while her ex-mother/in-law Gladys Corbin (Bonnie Burroughs) gets away with the unthinkable. So many are filled with greed and selfishness, but only a few are down right evil.
Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) isn’t the most selfish guy. In fact, he’s lied to, cheated, and stolen from people he’s claimed to care for. Still, his actions haven’t come close to the pure evil that exists within Greedy Gladys. GH news reports reveal many fans are up in arms over the current storyline. The controversial nature of Sasha’s story has ignited debate among GH fans.
Some say that they can’t bear to watch as Gladys and Dr. Montague (Darin Toonder) torture Sasha. On the contrary, other fans are enthralled by Sofia’s performance. As far as I’m concerned, Mattsson is killing here storyline! Truly, this is her time to shine as an actress. Therefore, when fans threaten to stop watching because the story makes them uncomfortable, it’s found a disservice to the actors and all the artists who helped create the story. That uneasy feeling some feel when watching Sasha go through it is exactly what the actors want. You’re supposed to feel.
Without a doubt, we are rooting for Sasha and for Gladys’s downfall. Now, onto dirty details! According to GH spoilers, Cody’s determined to see Sasha. He’ll stop at nothing now that he realizes just how serious the situation is. With someone’s help, Cody plans to override whatever obstacle Gladys has in place. Not even she can stop Cody now.
Sam and Maxie take on Gladys! …When it comes to Gladys, it doesn’t really take a Private Investigator to put the pieces together. However, it doesn’t hurt to actually have one on hand. Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) is perfect for the job.
Over in Port Charles, Sam concerns herself work Cody, Dante’s (Dominic Zamprogna) childhood friend. Although she’s close to the subjects involved, she’s not too emotionally invested to appropriately proceed with the investigation. Obviously, Sam knows Gladys (Bonnie Burroughs) can’t be trusted, but she can’t quite put her finger on what she’s done.
Meanwhile, Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) is no P.I., but she knows her friend Sasha. She’s already said her piece to Gladys with no avail. In fact, she pressured Gladys to be placed on the visitation list and was shut down. But, Maxie isn’t one to back down.
GH spoilers tease that Sam and Maxie take on Gladys. Neither are going to let Sasha suffer, let alone let Gladys get away with it. She really made a major misstep when messing with her daughter-in-law. Thankfully, Sasha has many people who look out for her, and Maxie and Sam aren’t the only two.
Additionally, Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) is another friend who won’t sit back and watch this happen to Sasha. Not to mention, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) would never want Sasha to go through what she’s being put through. Needless to say, Sasha has people in her corner, and Gladys is going down!
Cody pleads to see Sasha! Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) digs himself deeper as he basically gets on his knees and begs. How much lower can he sink? Especially, when all he’s doing is looking out for someone else.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors reveal that Cody better play his cards right (literally and figuratively), or he’ll dig himself into his own grave. Cody is already in the hot seat with his boss. He works for Selina Wu (Lydia Look), and let’s just say it’s not an honest day’s work. Evidently, danger and threats come with the territory, but that doesn’t stop him.
GH recaps recall that Cody Bell has a shady past. Similarly, he and Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) know what it’s like to have to lie, cheat, and attempt to get by. Together, they grew up in Bensonhurst. But the difference is that Cody never grew out of the old neighborhood ways. So today, he’s still lying, cheating, and stealing to get by. However, this time he has good reason to have good intentions in his heart.
Obviously, Cody has a thing for Sasha. And even if he doesn’t, he definitely cares for her as a friend. He’s worried and he doesn’t trust Gladys Corbin (Bonnie Burroughs). According to GH spoilers and rumors, Cody pleads to see Sasha. But with whom does he plead? GH rumors tease that he begs Selina for another favor- to get him in to see Sasha. But first, will he heckle with the Ferncliff staff?
…There is no doubt that Sasha is of sound mind. Obviously, Gladys wants everyone to fall for the whole, “Sasha’s insane bit,” even at the cost of her daughter-in-law’s life. The thing is, Gladys and Dr. Montague may believe that they are getting away with this, but more are onto them than they think.
General Hospital spoilers and previews indicate that the lights begins to shine even brighter through the many holes in Gladys’s plan. Essentially, Sasha’s mother-in-law didn’t think things all the way through when she conspired to deceive Sasha. Gladys didn’t consider that Sasha wasn’t the only one she had to convince. Instead, she let her ego think no one will be the wiser.
Over the years, Sasha has formed lasting friendships with women who truly care for her well-being. Thankfully, their sincerity shines through when they feel something isn’t right. Maxie (Kirsten Storms) already said what’s on her mind, but it looks like it’ll take more than one voice. According to GH spoilers, Maxie isn’t the only one to come forward and confront Greedy Gladys. In fact, Sam and even Sasha herself know that something’s missing. Sasha and Sam ask questions about how such a drastic misstep could come out of nowhere. They’re into Gladys, and it’s only a matter of time before Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) is onto her too.
Sonny saves Sasha and busts Gladys! …Nothing good ever really comes from a stay at Ferncliff. But thanks to Gladys Corbin (Bonnie Burroughs), that’s where Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) is headed. Drugged and emotionally drained, Sasha is at the mercy of her predators. Fortunately, Sasha isn’t alone.
Sonny saves Sasha
Over at the hospital, Sasha’s loved ones stand by as she’s whisked off to Ferncliff. GH recaps recall the eery moments during her departure. According to Dr. Montague, Ferncliff is what’s best for Sasha at this time. He and Gladys might have most people fooled, but not everyone is buying what this quack is selling.
GH spoilers and rumors tease that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) sees through the pain behind Sasha’s eyes. And the look in his eyes show that Sonny knows something isn’t right. It’s only a matter of time before Gladys finally gets what she deserves.
Sasha hallucinates Cyrus, is it a premonition? It’s public knowledge that Sasha has a history with drug abuse and mental health issues. As the Face of Deception, Sasha’s personal struggles were made public in a series of catastrophic and mortifying displays. Sadly, she hasn’t regained credibility in the business world and otherwise.
Despite Sasha’s progress on her healing journey, GH spoilers reveal that the grieving widow and mother faces the worst yet. Thanks to Gladys Corbin (Bonnie Burroughs) Sasha loses control. Unbeknownst to Sasha and others, this downfall isn’t self inflicted. In fact, Sasha’s rock bottom results from one of the most despicable crimes against another human. Sadly, after all of her hard work and healing, Gladys had thrown it all away.
Sasha Hallucinates Cyrus
According to the latest General Hospital spoilers and previews, Sasha’s hallucination is a glimpse into the future. GH recaps recall that Sasha saw Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) as Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) when she attacked him. Although the meds she’s taken caused her hallucination, GH rumors tease that the Cyrus visual is an inadvertent premonition of what’s to come.
Sasha can’t understand why and how she’d crumble after staying so strong. And the face she saw in as the man who perpetuated her addiction. Because of Cyrus, Sasha’s addiction grew. He had Sasha right where he wanted her. Is Cyrus back for more?
Nina saves Sasha! …It seems like Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) can do no wrong in Sonny’s eyes. I mean, she lied to him for close to a year, and kept him away from his wife and children. Knowing Sonny, anyone would think that his reaction would have been explosive. But for some reason, inside of going off like a grenade, Sonny was pretty chill about what she’d done.
According to GH spoilers, Nina’s actions toward Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) have catastrophic consequences for Ms. Reeves. Although Nina has overstepped time and time again, for some reason Sonny gives her more lives than a cat. However, recent GH rumors hint that Nina’s latest revenge plot backfires. Because Sonny isn’t about putting Carly, the mother of his children in any type of danger or adverse situation. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what Nina did. This may be the last straw for Nina when it comes to her relationship with Sonny. Because when he finds out, he won’t be happy.
On the contrary, some GH rumors claim that Nina gets another free pass when it comes to Sonny. Since Sasha is important to both Sonny and Nina, Nina‘s efforts to help Sasha will hold weight with Sonny. According to the latest GH spoilers and previews, Gladys’s betrayal causes Sasha’s breakdown. Thankfully, she isn’t alone and has people in her corner. That being said, GH turbos hint that Nina saves Sasha from Greedy Gladys. As a result, will Sonny excuse Nina for turning Carly and Drew into the SEC?!
Sasha murders Dr. Montague?! The walls are closing in on Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) when they should be crushing Gladys Corbin (Bonnie Burroughs). Someone needs to stop that woman! What she’s done to Sasha is despicable and she needs to pay. Sadly, it looks like Sasha first pays for trusting Gladys.
According to General Hospital spoilers, Gladys stands by like a supportive friend as she watches Sasha unravel. All while knowing that she is the cause of all Sasha’s pain and anguish. Gladys and Dr. Montague’s (Darin Toonder) arrangement outs Sasha’s life at risk. Still? Greedy Gladys keeps pushing the envelope, taking more and more from her daughter-in-law. First money and possessions, and now her life.
GH rumors hint that Gladys watches as Sasha loses control. One thing leads to another when GH rumors claim that Sasha murders Dr. Montague as a result of her meds. Thanks to Gladys, Sasha has blood on her hands. What’s next for The Face of Deception?
