In recent episodes, Sasha quietly made the decision to leave Port Charles behind, citing a fresh start and the need to build a peaceful life with Daisy.

The actress took to Instagram to thank fans, cast, and crew:
“Sasha has been a part of my life for years, and letting her go was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. Thank you for embracing her pain, her strength, and her growth. It’s not goodbye forever… just goodbye for now.”
While she didn’t confirm what’s next, rumors are swirling that Mattsson is being courted for a new role on a CBS daytime drama, possibly The Young and the Restless or The Bold and the Beautiful.
