What happened to Sasha Gilmore on General Hospital? Plot dynamics explored
After being introduced on General Hospital, Sasha met her mother Nina. However, the meeting did not go well, with both of them drawing up their walls and being wary of each other. Sasha turned down job offers from Valentin and Nina, but agreed to stay in Port Charles and move in with Kiki Jerome.
Later, Sasha started dating Michael Corinthos, to whom she revealed that she was not actually Nina's daughter. The news made it to Nina's wedding and she was very angry, but later accepted Sasha's apology.
The full scheme was properly revealed, with Valentin's intentions to win Nina back by using Sarah as a pawn with the fake DNA test too.
However, Sasha later had a one-night stand with Brando Corbin that left her pregnant. After an emergency C-section, the couple were heartbroken when their baby boy Liam had no brain activity.
Sasha and Brando were forced to say their goodbyes as they took the baby off life support.
After this incident, the character had many public meltdowns and shock responses. She even got addicted to drugs, and her friends and family did their part by helping her during her struggle. She was then committed to the mental institution at Ferncliff.
Sasha was rescued from Ferncliff and their notorious brainwashing by Cody Bell. After months of mistrust and misdirected anger, she let her guard down with him and the two started a relationship. They are currently dating on General Hospital.
Actress Sofia Mattsson has been praised for her portrayal of Sarah in the mental health storyline. The character, being resilient in the face of so much mental adversity, had had a deep impact on audiences who associate with her story on some level.
Some even hope that happier times are on the way for Sasha, given that she has had to suffer much grief. But nothing is certain in Port Charles, and Sasha Gilmore's storyline ahead remains to be seen.
Audiences can watch General Hospital airing on the ABC Channel. New episodes of the soap are released on all weekdays.
