Days of Our Lives has made a new casting move, and it’s a familiar face for soap fans.
Sofia Mattsson, known for playing Sasha Gilmore on General Hospital from 2018 to 2025, is officially joining the cast of the Peacock soap in a mystery role.
The news comes from Stephanie Sloane, who recently launched her soap newsletter. In it, she shared a photo of Mattsson outside her new dressing room at the Days studio.
And yes, fans noticed something right away.
New Look, New Role, and Lots of Questions
Mattsson, who was known for her blonde look during her GH run as Sasha Gilmore, is now rocking brunette hair. Naturally, that has fans wondering what kind of role she could be stepping into in Salem.
Not too long ago, she shared a photo revealing her new hair color and that she was back in Los Angeles. That alone had fans speculating that she might be returning to General Hospital after her summer 2025 exit.
Turns out, they were half right.
She is returning to the soap world… just not to Port Charles. At least not right now.
Mattsson has already started taping, but since Days of Our Lives films so far in advance, viewers shouldn’t expect to see her on screen until early 2027.
As for who she’s playing, that’s being kept completely under wraps for now. However, that never stops soap fans from speculating.
So let’s have some fun with it. Who do you think she’ll play? A brand-new character? A surprise recast? Or someone connected to an existing family?
