‘General Hospital’s’ Michael E. Knight Weighs-in on a Potential Tracy and Martin Pairing (Exclusive)
On General Hospital, Martin Grey’s (Michael E. Knight) scheme to get revenge on Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) for having him arrested (for failure to pay alimony to one of his ex-wives), was the perfect tie-in to the skullduggery that went on when the late Monica Quartermaine’s will was read and in a shocker, instead of leaving the Quartermaine mansion to her grandson, Michael (Rory Gibson), she left it to the sister no one knew about, Ronnie Bard (Erika Slezak).
Immediately, Tracy smelled a rat and was determined to get to the truth, when just as Martin was pressuring Ronnie to sell the house to Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), she located Monica’s true last will and testament, where it revealed the house was actually left to the “sister of her heart” Tracy Quartermaine, and Martin’s jig was up. He had changed the names on the forged will, and it all blew up in his face. But where does the contentious Tracy and Martin relationship go from here, featuring soap legends, Jane Elliot and Michael E. Knight, in scenes together?
In a brand new interview, now on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel, Michael E. Knight shares his thoughts on if he thinks Tracy and Martin actually have a love/hate relationship going on.

Talking on the future of his legal eagle, and how he believes, GH EP Frank Valentini, and co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten view the two characters when they are together, Knight said, “I think we all sort of agree that there’s something that’s just priceless about the Tracy and Martin relationship. It’s just fun to watch. Because basically, let’s face it, we walk on set and it’s all this kind of sticking it to each other in these scenes between the two characters.”
So does the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning veteran, think true love could be possible for the shady lawyer and the feisty head of the Q clan? “I think it’s possible,” revealed Knight. “The thing is; when you get a hatred that burns hot, there’s got to be some kind of recognition. There’s got to be some kind of kindred spirit. Only a person that you have a tremendous amount in common with can piss you of that much. You know what I mean? It would be very interesting to see.”
Elliot, who recently received Daytime Emmy Gold Circle Honors for over 50 years of excellence and dedication to the acting craft and the daytime genre, and who’s performances have continued to be outstanding as she balances drama and comedy in scenes, is not lost on Michael!

“Jane’s just not the kind of person that leaves well enough alone, like the pinching of the cheeks (scene when Martin is found out), she’ll just find something that always takes it to another level,” shares Knight. “If you have two or three takes with her, by the end of it, I’m usually having so much fun. I’m chewing the scenery a couple times. It’s always fun to work with somebody who’s just going to give you more than is on the page.”
Knight is very aware of how Elliot’s Tracy can go from caustic to lovable, “She gets all puffed up about the Quartermaine this, or the Quartermaine that, and then the minute it really matters, her heart just basically leaps out of her eyes on the camera. There was something I saw her do a couple years back in a courtroom,” recalls Michael. “It was where Tracy does something really noble, but she doesn’t want anybody to know about it. And she’s like, ‘Here’s the deal. This is what we’re going to do, and if you tell anybody, I’ll sue you.'”
Check out the Michael Fairman Channel’s new conversation with Michael E. Knight below, where he also talks about working with Erika Slezak, Genie Francis. Cameron Mathison, Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) and his former All My Children on-screen parents, and much more.
Now let us know, would you be all for Tracy Quartermaine and Martin Grey actually developing deep feelings for one another because as we know on soaps, if two people can’t stand each other, it often turns into love! Weigh-in via the comment section below.
They also appeared to be observing the chemistry between Martin and Alexis the other day…that brief scene at Alexis’ office. They’re all fantastic actors and I enjoy them all. I love the comedy Tracy and Martin bring though. I’m so delighted Michael E. Knight is at GH.
Tracy and Martin would be great together. It would be like Tracy and Luke all over again.
I would love it if they got together. They are so fun to watch
So true! I used to hate Tracy till she met Luke. Even though she is still definitely someone you dont want to mess with, she is a softer Tracy. However, she and Martin have just enough of a mean streak in them that would make them fun to watch.
I’ve been waiting for it to happen not long after Gregory (so sad) left. I’m so glad GH is finally giving Michael more stories although I don’t like what he did and spiking the tea. Not Alexis however.
Tracy tends to hold grudges, and Marty tried to give away her family’s estate. I don’t see Tracy forgiving that in the forseeable future.
I agree
If they’re going to keep him around, how about Martin and Liesl? She has a thing for shady lawyers.
Before the whole shenanigans with Ronnie and the will, I would’ve been intrigued with a Tracy/Martin pairing. That whole incident (and what appears to be little repercussion for Martin) soured me on the two together.
Tracy is one of the smartest people in PC. Hard to imagine her falling for a loser like Martin. There is no comparison with Luke, who despite a checkered past, never came across as dumb.
This would be a great pairing of two funny and lovable characters! I’ve been hoping for this and think that the Quartermaine household would be quite entertaining!
I saw this coming.
A truly grotesque and disgusting concept!
I like Michael Knight, but they’ve made Martin a very unlikable character, which seems to be this regime’s specialty. They have a lot of unlikable characters on the canvas right now, including people that we are supposed to like.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see them try something with Tracy and Martin, they’ve been planting the seeds for a while. But that would really be dumbing Tracy down to fall romantically for a guy that just pulled what he did with her family. I don’t care to see it. I like them better as rivals. I liked Martin and Lucy together, thought Knight and Lynn Herring were fun together. But it seems like that ship has sailed.
I do not see a Martin Grey /Tracy Quartermain Romance! They despise each other! Martin ( who I used to like until the writers made him a destestable Con man) would be better suited to forgive his former lover Lucy Coe for her role in the hay literally with Scott Baldwin( who has mysteriously vanished of the face of the planet)! Scotty should be front and center on GH since his love Dr. Leisel Orbrecth is back on Canvas not to mention that Scotty is a Legacy character! GH writers ignore the rich history of this show all the time! I think if you want to place Tracy in a Romance it should def be with a younger man.like a Tracy/Cody/ Molly Triangle.Perhaps a new character could turn Tracy’s head. Also I’m disgusted with the Portia pregnancy storyline! I’m glad Trina told Jordan off! Sick of Jordan who I find it hard to like,why is she still on the show? Her son went into do a double shift and was never seen again where in the hell is T.J.? A child’s death just ran him into hiding? Really? What happened to the surragote storyline that supposedly had their child and lied about the miscarriage and Kristina discovers this lie? There are great storys that could be told but GH ignores them ! Finalky recast Spencer Cassidine! It’s time for his ressurection and bring back Morgan to shake up Ava’s life! Get the Cassidines back on Canvas and Spring Valentin from the jail house Anna needs him! They are a great couple!Get Nicholas out of Jail also and bring back diva Esme to shake up Trina and baby Ace’s life! THE FINAL BOMBSHELL WOULD BE HEATHER WEBBER BUT THAT’S ASKING TOO MUCH! LOL
Tracey and Martin do hate each other but there needs to be a common denominator that’s touches them both deeply to bring them together. Alexis needs to have a male encounter to soften her up a bit, a lover, a past lover that touches her heart deeply, she seems so lonely only one that doesn’t have a partner to care for.
I would love that pairing! They both have just enough good in them to keep the other reigned in. Plus, Martin has Laura that he would never want to displease and Tracy has the whole Q clan that she would not want to displease.
It will be very funny and challenging because he is really interested in her money and so far didn’t show any respect to her as a person
Chase is becoming an asshole. He’s dangerously close to crossing the line with Willow. If Chase becomes a creepy guy like he’s starting to, then Brooklyn needs to kick him to the curb
100 percent! I still think Swillow is psycho after her little hide Daisy game she played!

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.

Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
