Reflecting on her journey with the soap, Sofia revealed she originally anticipated a brief engagement on the show.

Mattsson candidly discussed her initial apprehensions entering the fast-paced world of soap operas. 'I remember being very nervous and overwhelmed, but in a good way,' she noted, cherishing her character's early rebellious days.
