## Background

Brando Corbin is first mentioned on June 25, 2019 by Mike Corbin. Mike mixes up Dev Cerci with Brando, the son of Mike's cousin Gladys. He says Brando's father was some deadbeat who never married Gladys and he didn't stick around.

Sonny Corinthos gets the idea to pass off Dev as Brando's son, “Devin Corbin”. Sonny tries to pay off Gladys to claim that her son Brando had a fictional wife who he married in Iraq and brought back to the U.S. where his wife died giving birth to Dev. Gladys argues that Brando died during Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq in 2003 and he didn't have any kids. After Sonny offers her more money, Gladys agrees to the deal.

Sasha is from Chappaqua, NY. She was raised by a single mother named Amanda whom she loved very much. And after Amanda passed, all the family that Sasha had left was her grandmother.

When her grandmother became very ill, she needed surgery and even after Medicare, the costs were enormous. And that's when Sasha got Valentin Cassadine's offer to pose as Nina's long-lost daughter for a few days and make enough money to pay for her grandmother's medical expenses.
