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!

Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out.

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

Published

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).

On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..

In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”

GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW

So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!

FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD

As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and  and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”

Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.

So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL

Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.

The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.

In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”

So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
