Days Of Our Lives
Who Is Sofia Mattsson Playing on Days of Our Lives? Could Salem Be About to Get Its Most Explosive Recast in Years?!
Sofia Mattsson has joined Days of Our Lives in a mystery role and the speculation about who she is playing is absolutely out of control.
COULD SOFIA MATTSSON BE THE NEW ABIGAIL DIMERA?
TL;DR: Sofia Mattsson is officially joining Days of Our Lives in a mystery role, she has already started taping, and the brunette hair has fans losing their collective minds. Is she taking over as Abigail DiMera? A grown up Allie Horton? A brand new Theresa Donovan? The possibilities are absolutely wild and we cannot stop speculating.
She Is Coming and Salem Is Not Ready
Sofia Mattsson has officially joined the cast of Days of Our Lives in a mystery role. She has already started taping. She ditched the blonde hair she wore for seven years as Sasha Gilmore on General Hospital and is now a brunette. And the show is telling us absolutely nothing about who she is playing. That kind of secrecy in daytime television only means one thing. Whatever this role is, it is going to be a big deal. The question that every soap fan in America is asking right now is simple. Who is she playing? Because the options are delicious.

The Case for Abigail DiMera
Let’s start with the theory that has been burning up every soap fan forum on the internet. What if Mattsson is the new Abigail DiMera? The facts line up in a way that feels almost too perfect to be a coincidence. Abigail was murdered in 2022 but her coffin was empty. Clyde Weston hinted she was still alive before falling into a coma. Cat Green impersonated her with plastic surgery and the whole thing fell apart spectacularly. And now Conner Floyd is stepping into the role of Chad DiMera this spring. A brand new Chad needs a brand new Abigail. The timing is suspicious in the best possible way. Mattsson going brunette fits perfectly with Abigail’s look and her dramatic chops on General Hospital proved she can carry the kind of emotional devastation that comes with walking back into Salem after being presumed dead. Picture it. A new Chad walks into the DiMera mansion. A new Abigail walks in right behind him. The entire family loses its collective mind. That is not a recast. That is a resurrection event and it is exactly the kind of move that would justify this much secrecy.
What If She Is a Grown Up Allie Horton?
Now here is where it gets interesting. Allie Horton left Salem in 2023 and has not been seen since. She is the daughter of Sami Brady and Lucas Horton, which means she is a walking powder keg of Horton and Brady DNA and the kind of character who could walk back into town and detonate every storyline she touches. The character was last played by Lindsay Arnold and left under emotionally charged circumstances. What if Sofia Mattsson walks into Salem as a more grown up, more hardened, completely transformed version of Allie? An actress with that kind of range could play someone who left town as one person and came back as someone else entirely. And with Sami Brady’s daughter, there is always the potential for the kind of chaos that only Brady family blood can deliver.
The Dark Horse Options That Could Change Everything
But what if she is stepping into a role that nobody is talking about yet? Consider Theresa Donovan. The character has had multiple actresses over the years and the door has never been fully closed on her return. A new face for Theresa could bring an entirely new energy to Salem. Or what about Sloan Peterson? Jessica Serfaty was temporarily recast once before and the character’s story with Eric Brady was left in complicated territory. And then there is the possibility that keeps us up at night. What if she is not a recast at all? What if Days of Our Lives created an entirely new character for her? Someone connected to an existing Salem family that nobody sees coming? A long lost DiMera? A secret Brady? A woman who walks into town with a past that is about to blow the roof off of everything? The show is guarding this role like it holds the nuclear codes to Salem’s future. All of it points to something massive. Whatever Sofia Mattsson is playing on Days of Our Lives, this town is about to find out what happens when a seven year General Hospital powerhouse walks through the door and decides to make Salem her own.
Who do you think she is playing? Abigail DiMera risen from the grave? A grown up Allie Horton with an axe to grind? Someone brand new who is about to wreck Salem? Drop your predictions below because we need to hear every single theory!
