'There was a good time in the storyline for Sofia to leave to pursue other opportunities in film and TV,' a representative for the soap told TVInsider yesterday. 'But she is open for a return in the future.'
Meanwhile, executive producer Frank Valentini added: 'I love Sofia, she is a great actress and a dear friend. We will miss her, but we wish her the best in all of her future endeavors.'
The actress told the outlet in a Q&A published yesterday that the last day of filming 'was emotional for sure. Cleaning out my room and knowing that I wouldn't see all my friends there like usual every other day felt sad. But everyone was so supportive and excited for me.'
She added of the 'bittersweet' farewell: 'I've had such a great time, but I'm also excited for a new chapter and to continue my acting journey in new projects.'
Noting that she is 'definitely not opposed to coming back to the soap world,' Mattsson teased that she has 'some exciting new projects in the works, so I hope to see everyone through another screen soon!'
Outside of the over 500 installments of GH she's been in, Mattsson has also appeared in episodes of NCIS and Two and a Half Men.

‘Happy Gilmore 2' Cast: Here's Every Star, Celebrity And Athlete Cameo
HAPPY GILMORE 2. Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore in Happy Gilmore2. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2025. Happy Gilmore 2 arrives on Netflix tomorrow, July 25. The sequel features both returning and new stars from the beloved 1996 golf comedy, along with more than two dozen celebrity cameos, including professional golfers, hip-hop legends, NFL players, WWE stars and more. Nearly three decades later, Adam Sandler reprises his role as Happy Gilmore, the short-tempered hockey player-turned-golfer. In the original film, Gilmore enters a series of tournaments to save his grandmother's house from foreclosure. The movie ends with Gilmore winning the Tour Championship and reclaiming his grandmother's home. In the Netflix sequel, co-written by Sandler, Happy has left golf behind following a tragic accident. But when he needs $300,000 to send his daughter Vienna (Sunny Sandler) to a ballet school in Paris, he returns to the sport in hopes of raising the money. HAPPY GILMORE 2. Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit in Happy Gilmore 2. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2025. "Happy Gilmore isn't done with golf — not by a long shot," the film's synopsis reads. 'Adam Sandler's short-fused legend swings for a comeback to make his kid's dream come true.' Sandler told Good Morning America that his character's 'life isn't perfect right now' — at least 'at the beginning of the movie.' He continued, 'And he's a family man, and he's gettin' back into the golf game." In addition to Sandler, the 2025 film also sees the return of several familiar faces, including Julie Bowen as Happy's love interest, Virginia Venit; Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin, Happy's arrogant nemesis; and Ben Stiller as Hal L., the orderly from Happy's grandmother's nursing home. Unfortunately, Carl Weathers was set to reprise his role as Derick 'Chubbs' Peterson before he passed away in February 2024. Of course, no Sandler movie is complete without his family. The actor's real-life daughter, Sunny Sandler, plays Gilmore's daughter, Vienna. His wife, Jackie Sandler, and elder daughter, Sadie, also appear in the sports comedy. Read on for a full breakdown of the Happy Gilmore 2 cast, from returning fan favorites to all the exciting cameos. Who Are the Returning Happy Gilmore 2 Cast Members? HAPPY GILMORE 2.

Eileen Davidson leads Daytime Emmy predictions for Best Drama Actress, but watch out for Nancy Lee Grahn
The Daytime Emmys race for Best Drama Actress is shaping up to be a battle between Eileen Davidson (The Young and the Restless) and Nancy Lee Grahn (General Hospital). According to Gold Derby's predictions, the former is currently out front with a 54 percent chance of winning, while the latter is in the runner-up position with 21 percent. Davidson has played Ashley Abbott, a successful chemist and businesswoman who consistently navigates family drama, on and off since since her The Young and the Restless debut in 1982. During the eligible 2024 season, Ashley experienced Dissociative Identity Disorder and splintered into several different personalities, including Ash, Mrs. Abbott, and Belle. To date, Davidson has won two Daytime Emmys for Best Drama Actress, in 2014 for Days of Our Lives and in 2018 for The Young and the Restless. More from Gold Derby 2025 Emmys: These are the episodes every Best Comedy Actor nominee submitted Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor in 'The History of Sound' trailer: Everything to know about Oliver Hermanus' queer romance Grahn's Alexis Davis has been a constant presence since 1996, and the actress is one of General Hospital's longest-running cast members. Alexis is the daughter of a Greco-Russian prince and a Swedish opera singer, and she continues to connect with audiences by being a successful lawyer and mother. Last year, Alexis experienced a tragic loss when her daughter, Sam (Kelly Monaco), was killed off the show due to complications from a liver transplant. Grahn was previously recognized with two awards for Best Drama Supporting Actress, in 1989 for Santa Barbara and in 2012 for General Hospital. Fun fact: this marks the third time that Davidson and Grahn have faced off in Best Drama Actress at the Daytime Emmys. They both lost to Susan Flannery (The Bold and the Beautiful) in 2003, while Davidson prevailed in 2018. Who will win this year? Let's look at the Gold Derby data: Best Drama Actress Contender Odds 1. Eileen Davidson The Young and the Restless 54.1% 2. Nancy Lee Grahn General Hospital 20.8% 3. Sharon Case The Young and the Restless 10.8% 4. Michelle Stafford The Young and the Restless 6.5% 5. Laura Wright General Hospital 4.8% 6. Melissa Claire Egan The Young and the Restless 3.0% In third place is Sharon Case (Sharon Newman on The Young and the Restless) with an 11 percent chance of winning. This would be her first lead victory after taking home a supporting trophy in 1999. Then there's Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers on The Young and the Restless) at 7 percent. She's already a three-time champion for this role, for supporting in 1997 and for lead in 2004 and 2024. Coming in fourth place with a 5 percent chance is Laura Wright (Carly Corinthos on General Hospital). She previously won the statuette in this category in 2011. Finally, there's Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea Lawson on The Young and the Restless) at 3 percent. She's the only Best Drama Actress nominee this year who hasn't yet won a prize of her own. The 2025 Daytime Emmys take place on Oct. 17. In the meantime, here's what our users are saying in the forums: 'I'm never predicting Grahn or Bergman again! I understand why Grahn lost in 2017 (long reel that felt disjointed) but she should have won in 2018, 2021 & 2022 (supporting) based on submitted reels and still lost. They clearly love her because she gets nominated almost everytime she submits. But they obviously feel she's been rewarded enough and feel no need to reward her again no matter how good her reel is. Same for Bergman. He gets nominated all the time but hasn't won in more than 20 years. Every few years, pundits say his reel is the best in the category and this is the year he's finally gonna win again and he still loses.'

Cardi B Channels Dolly Parton With Bird's Nest Hairdo at the Balenciaga Fall 2025 Couture Show in Paris
Cardi B took a style cue from Dolly Parton with bombshell bird's nest hair at the Balenciaga fall 2025 couture show in Paris on Wednesday morning. The artist's voluminous hairdo reached new heights with foot-long extensions that were tied and teased on top of Cardi B's head; her ends maintained the shape of the wide-barrel rollers that formed them. The inky tresses stuck out behind her, falling from the BumpIt positioned on the crown of her head.

TikTok-er-turned-pop star Addison Rae just sported the same dramatic aesthetic in the music video for her new hit, 'Times Like These,' which sees her undergo a major transformation from wet to wind-blown hair. Rae's grandiose style was designed by hair artist Lucas Wilson, whose client list includes models Gabbriette and Emily Ratajkowski. Cardi B's hair was most likely designed by Tokyo Stylez, her go-to hairstylist, with whom she's worked with on cover shoots and concert looks. Her makeup, on the other hand, bore a unique resemblance to trends from a later era. Her finely plucked, angled eyebrows, a burgeoning brow theme these days, harked back to the beauty aesthetics of the late '80s and early '90s, as did her bold red lip and shimmery purple shadow. Nothing about her visage spoke to the 'clean girl,' no-makeup trend that's consumed the online mecca since 2020. In fact, her made-up countenance drew comparisons to Doja Cat's punky makeup at the 2025 Met Gala in May. There, the 'Streets' vocalist wore aquatic shadow up to her skinny brows and matte lipstick in a dark crimson hue. For her fashion at the Balenciaga presentation, Cardi B donned a delicate long-sleeve, floral gown with intricate beading woven into the mesh fabric. She paired the sultry garment with sheer stockings and pointed-toe pumps. Elsewhere at the show, Lisa Rinna sported a relaxed, toned-down ensemble, consisting of a cocooning cobalt tracksuit and a straightened black bowl-cut wig similar to Anderson .Paak's signature 'do.
