General Hospital dropped a Holly Sutton-driven plot twist that had fans gasping for air! The woman swung by the Quartermaine mansion, and GH dropped the biggest bombshell when Sasha Gilmore opened the door. She uttered the unexpected words, “What are you doing here, Mother?” Yes, you read that right—Holly is Sasha’s mom! As if that bombshell wasn’t enough, Holly went on to reveal the identity of Sasha’s father. Read on to get the full scoop.
Holly and Sasha are Connected!
General Hospital fans were shocked to find out that Sasha’s dad is none other than Robert Scorpio. If we do the math, that makes Sasha and Cody, who almost hooked up, first cousins! Yikes! Emma Samms, who plays Holly, shared her excitement about the plot twist, which even shocked the camera crew. When they were rehearsing, the makeup department squealed.
Moreover, the camera guys assured Samms that this storyline would work its magic. “This is good! This is getting a reaction!’ And that’s the best you can hope for,” she shared. Meanwhile, Samms knows the reveal is going to spark some serious debates among viewers. According to her, some will love it, others may hate it, but everyone will be surprised!
Interestingly, the GH diva was clueless about the Sasha twist when she returned to the set. It wasn’t until she sat down with showrunner Frank Valentini that she learned about Holly’s secret daughter. “I gasped! Seems to be the universal reaction to this story point,” she reacted.
Furthermore, meeting Sofia Mattsson (Sasha) for the first time while filming such an explosive scene added extra intensity. Samms was super impressed by Mattsson, calling her a delightful and talented actress. Sofia reminds Emma of her daughter, Beatrice, which makes playing Holly’s distant mother role even tougher. But let us tell you that Holly’s no stranger to keeping kids a secret.
Remember Ethan? Additionally, fans wonder why she never told Robert. Samms explains that Holly knows she messed up with both Robert and Sasha and feels awful about it. Being a con artist doesn’t strip her of her moral code. There’s another reason! Sasha getting involved with her cousin Cody irks Holly like nothing, and she has no choice but to spill the truth.
“She has to say something,” Samms jokes. Could Robert ever forgive Holly for keeping such a massive secret? Now, let’s talk about Sasha for a bit. When she was born, Robert was believed to be dead, so Holly kept her hidden for safety. After the danger passed, Holly didn’t tell Robert about their daughter, fearing rejection after so many years.
To make things worse, Holly involved Sasha in numerous cons, leaving her in Llanview with David Vickers. Things get more complicated as Sasha knows about her half-brother Ethan, but Lucky doesn’t seem to know. Buckle up, GH peeps, because this storyline promises to keep you on the edge of your seat!
