## Storylines

On June 14, 2023 at GH; Dr. Damon Montague introduces himself to Sasha Corbin as he's there to discuss terminating her guardianship after the death and will reading of Victor Cassadine after the capture of Linc Brown at the Nurses' Ball and the deaths of Chief of Staff Dr. Britt Westbourne via Heather Webber aka "The Hook" and former Head Nurse Epiphany Johnson. Sasha says that the woman with her is Gladys Corbin, her guardian and mother-in-law. Damon greets her as Gladys looks shocked. Damon says to follow him and Gladys says she had questions for him as she has important insights as Sasha's guardian. He says this visit is only for getting to know Sasha and there will be time for that later. Sasha leaves with him.

Sasha wonders to Damon in his office if it is wrong to say she is nervous. She does want to be independent again and believes she is ready but actually being there is daunting. Damon says it is his job to take off some of that pressure. He is there to give his medical opinion to the court so the judge can decide if Sasha is really ready for this.

Damon says he read Sasha's file and she experienced two traumatic losses all while living in the public eye. It must have been incredibly difficult. Sasha admits it was a struggle. Damon asks her how she would characterize her relationship with her guardian. Sasha says she is grateful to Gladys. When her husband Brando Corbin died so soon after losing their son Liam Corbin she couldn't get out of bed and Gladys really stepped up for her. They may have butted heads a few times but she always knows that Gladys will have her best interests at heart. Damon wants to hear more about their butting heads.

When Sasha and Damon come back out to Gladys she asks how it went. Sasha says it was a good start and leaves. Damon thanks Gladys and also turns to leave. Gladys calls his first name and he explains that he had no idea that Sasha was her daughter-in-law. He is surprised to run into her this way. Gladys agrees it is definitely unexpected and asks will Damon need to recuse himself from Sasha's case since they know each other. Damon says why invite questions as his private life has no bearing on his work. He notes that he hasn't seen Gladys at The Savoy in a while. He asks if she will be rejoining Ms. Wu's game anytime soon. Gladys says Sasha isn't the only one trying to turn over a new leaf.

Later Damon runs into Sasha at the pool and greets her.

On July 3, Sasha meets with Damon and he prescribes her some medication to calm her down. When she leaves he calls Gladys and says the plan worked.

On September 8, Damon gets confronted and sucker-punched in the face by Cody Bell who stole his clothes in Ferncliff Asylum after learning about his connections to Gladys and Selina and he and Sasha finally escaped Ferncliff in an SUV provided by Sam McCall.

On October 5, 2023; Damon holds Sasha hostage, a syringe to her neck. He threatens Cody with turning her into a sleeping beauty as he has nothing left to lose. Nurse Janice appears and Sasha reveals that Montague has been drugging her the entire time. The doctor warns them he's walking out, and if Cody follows him, or any alarms go off, Sasha dies in revenge for the late Victor Cassadine and The Hook! Sasha makes a distracting movement, allowing Cody to attack and pin Montague against the wall. Detective Dante Falconeri and PCPD Commissioner Mac Scorpio arrive and Montague claims that Cody tried to kill him. Janice speaks up, telling them Montague threatened to kill Sasha if she didn't let him escape. Montague is arrested, and Sasha is freed to go home. Montague is later replaced by his enemies Liesl Obrecht and Damian Spinelli.

In 2024, Damon is later replaced by Jason Morgan who had been missing in action.
