What is Sasha's parentage issue on General Hospital?

As the General Hospital episode dated October 16, 2024, showed, Sasha Gilmore addressed a visiting Holly as "mother," to great surprise for longtime viewers. Sasha was initially introduced as Nina's long-lost daughter before clearing that up as one of Valentin's schemes. Later, her backstory was left ambiguous.

However, Holly Sutton was revealed as her mother this October, letting Pandora's box of relationships open. As shown in the next episode, dated October 17, 2024, Sasha was unsure whether to trust Holly. As such, when she accused Holly of pulling one of her cons, the mother denied the accusation.

The biggest information Holly admitted was that Cody Bell was Sasha's cousin since Robert Scorpio was her biological father. The mother informed Sasha that she wanted to save her daughter from further problems. Holly was hinting at Sasha and Cody being cousins; a romance between them would be complicated.

What was Sasha's reaction to Holly's reveal and its significance?

Thursday's episode found the mother-daughter at loggerheads as Sasha accused her mother of not being transparent with paternity information. Holly explained how she was busy saving Sasha during childhood but could not come clean with Robert, the love of her life, later.

A hurt Sasha also pointed out how Holly had abandoned her in Llanview, to which the latter justified that she rushed to help Ethan. Holly further admitted that she hadn't been a good mother to Sasha but wanted to save her the terrible mistake of getting involved with cousin Cody Bell.

Sasha called her mother a liar and believed this to be another of Holly's cons targeting her or Robert. She asked her mother to leave and stay away from her and Cody's life. She stormed out of the Quartermaine mansion, rushed to the stables, and kissed Cody. In an equally rushed manner, she left him, giving an excuse.

However, there could still be possibilities of Holly lying to Sasha for some ulterior purpose, as the daughter accused. As such, Holly's past romance with Luke Spencer or her other affairs could have resulted in Sasha's birth. There is also the dilemma of whether Holly is Sasha's mother since that has not been proven in the soap's storyline yet.

What are the current dynamics between Sasha and Cody?

General Hospital fans were delighted with the new pairing since Sasha seemed to move on from mourning after losing her husband, Brando, and son, Liam. According to the soap's spoilers, she and Cody, played by Josh Kelly, recently moved into an intimate encounter, possibly leading to a pregnancy.

Fans will remember that Cody's paternity tests confirmed that he was Mac Scorpio's son. This makes Sasha and Cody's recent intimacy incestuous. As some spoilers hint, this could pose a bigger problem if Sasha is pregnant from the encounter. However, they will likely hope Cody and Sasha are not blood-related.
