ABC ‘General Hospital’ (GH) spoilers finds that star Sofia Mattsson is opening up about her daytime television road to success. The actress, who originally hails from Sweden, admits that she did have to knock on a few doors before she got her big break. Here’s what she has to say.
“I definitely had an audition for ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ at some point,” Sofia tells Soap Opera Digest in a new interview. “And I had auditioned for ‘General Hospital’ earlier, too, but I never made it to the next step. This was years ago, and I was not really ready; I totally understand why it didn’t go further then.” Then, last year, when the show was casting the part of Nina’s faux daughter, Sasha, “I went in and I did feel ready and I felt like I could handle it,” she says. “It was obviously very nerve-wracking, still!”

With that said, it looks like Sofia signed her name on the dotted line in on the dotted line with the producers of ‘General Hospital’ and never looked back. In fact, it’s one decision that she definitely doesn’t regret as she loves working with the cast and crew of the hit ABC show. It also didn’t take very long for the producers to offer her a full-time contract.
“At first, I was recurring. I really thought I was going to be there for, like, three episodes. I think my character, Sasha, only thought she was going to be in town for a moment, too!” When GH kept calling her back, “It was a shock! I kind of kept going and getting more and more relationships in town. Every time I got an episode I was so happy and grateful to be back.”
