Performer of the Week
Sofia Mattson, who plays Sasha Corbin on General Hospital, has done some pretty heavy lifting acting-wise since she's been there. She's had to play drug addiction, relapse, her infant son dying soon after birth, her husband being brutally murdered by a serial killer, and a mental breakdown in her 5 years and had two children of her own in real life while doing it!
Her latest story is another mental breakdown but this one is brought on by her devious mother-in-law (Bonnie Burroughs) who is trying to hide her gambling debt with the help of an evil psychiatrist (Darin Toonder) who shares her gambling addiction. Poor Sasha is being drugged and gaslit and has found herself committed to Ferncliff after stabbing Cody (Josh Kelly) while hallucinating that he was actually Cyrus (Jeff Kober).
The entire story arc has been very well acted but this latest leg in Ferncliff has been nothing short or amazing. The performances that Mattson is turning in, episode after episode, are almost unbelievable. I would not want to have to be the one to trim it all down for an Emmy reel because there's just too much! Mattson plays crazy very well, and it is beautifully heartbreaking to watch.
When she cried in her bed that she didn't want to be there anymore and just wanted to go home, I cried right along with her, and the screams she let out when she thought her hallucinations of Cody had become real were bone-chilling in their authenticity. We are all hoping that Sasha is free of her nightmare soon, but in the meantime, we are getting one hell of a story to watch, thanks in large part to Sofia Mattson, and that is why she is our Performer of the Week. Congratulations Sofia, you are doing such wonderful work!

What a week it was in soapland! We had Trevor St. John kicking ass when Tucker McCall was filled with rage and demanded that Audra fix their problem. We had Michelle Stafford, who gave another outstanding performance as Phyllis Summers begged for mercy in court, and we had Tanner Novlan, who delivered a must-see killer performance as Finn confronted Liam and told him to back off. Congrats to all on getting the honorary mention this week.
