‘General Hospital’ fans recently discussed Sasha’s constant challenges and some think it’s a sign the character is on her way out.
Perhaps all of the negativity surrounding Sasha doomed her character
Sasha has been a character that will do anything to get what she wants: a job, a baby, drugs. Yet all of her elaborate scheming and plotting has simply led to one negative outcome after another. Fans may think her character is unredeemable after nearly two years of increasingly depressing outcomes for her.
Played by Sofia Mattsson, Sasha has become the face of Deception (a role previously held by veteran soap actor Vanessa Marcil who played Brenda Barrett), faked an affair to help Willow and Michael get custody of their son, and then started using drugs. When Sasha got pregnant, she and her then-boyfriend Brando lost the baby.
Then her drug use got worse. She had a mental breakdown. The List notes how fans are tired of seeing Sasha continually spiral downward.
Fan complaints run the gamut for Sasha’s character on ‘General Hospital’
Fans have said some varying things about Sasha. One fan noted that Sasha seems to be “losing it” so often that she is just in constant suffering and it seems it’s time she move on to something better. Other fans noted that her refusal to ask for help is what has led her to repeating patterns.
Fans seem divided between fans thinking Sasha needs to get her life on track while others think she doesn’t need help at all. At what point does General Hospital take a stand to say, “This character is redeemable and gets help” versus “We’re going to stop torturing this poor soul?”
Perhaps Sasha is too real and fans don’t want to deal with such a spiraling character, and rightfully so. The past three years have been very stressful, at best, and there are plenty of things for Americans to worry about right now. Soaps and fictional TV should be an escape from reality, not a dive headfirst into it.
