Next week on General Hospital, look for the return of Daytime Emmy-winner, Michael E. Knight in the role of Martin Grey, when Laura’s (Genie Francis) half-brother returns to Port Charles.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, GH co-head writer, Dan O’Connor, previewed Martin’s reappearance on the canvas, teasing, “Martin returns to Port Charles, and he must choose between his friendship with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and his budding relationship with Lucy (Lynn Herring).  While co-head writer, Chris Van Etten added, “Or you could say, choose between love and money!”.

GH viewers first met Martin back in 2019 when he became the lawyer for the nefarious Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier).  Since that time, his ties to Port Charles expanded being  revealed to related to Laura Collins, and another evil-doer, his brother, Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober).

Now, with Michael Knight back on GH, it appears many fans are hoping for more of Martin and Lucy’s relationship on

So, where do you stand? Are you hoping that Lucy and Martin’s relationship grows stronger, or that it collapses? Comment below.

This news just made my day. Looking foward to more of Martin and Lucy.

Always liked that man

Martin and Lucy need to be together

Always glad to see MEK and I hope there’s a way for him to be happy with Lucy and still be friends with Valentin.

He would be a great match for Alexis

I disagree! I am for Martin and Lucy all the way.

I’m with you, Anne. They’re so good together.

Mike, Alexis needs a vacay from situationships. Poor thing is traumatized. I was rooting for her and Harmony to start a little sumthin sumthin…Oh well.

I’m glad to read this! I think Lucy and martin are a cute couple and I love seeing Martin act with Laura and Lucy. Valentin better watch his step! Ha! Ha!

I just want to see more of Michael!! Any story line for Martin is a good storyline because it means Michael E. Knight is on the screen!

Absolutely agree

You make a great point. Any screen time for Michael E Knight is great! Have followed him for decades back to his first appearance on All My Children!!

Yes, agree, loved him on All My Children also! I love his grey hair!

I agree, just bring him back full time. Give him an excellent story line. To be honest bring in Cady McClain the ex Dixie from All My Children as a ex wife of his. Maybe his true love and a daughter and let Michael have to choose between Kucy. Valentin and his ex wife and daughter. Just my opinion.

Go MaLucy!

Where has he been all this time? Did he have to travel to Russia to close the KFC franchise operations over there

I usually get and love your humor… but this one goes right over my head ! (?)

KFC + Russia = Micheal (how and why)

He’s Colonel Sanders! Just look at him

He sounds like Colonel Sanders too with that accent he puts on, lol. Love Michael on the show, though. He was a welcome addition to the GH cast. Bad accent or not. I enjoy Martin and Lucy together.

Hahaha. That’s so true. The way he says, “Mama…” Adorable.

I’m thinking…Russia because of current events and KFC because people were saying he sounded like the Colonel when he first appeared on GH.

John York dropped the fake accent a few years into playing Mac. It’s time for Michael to do the same with Martin as it adds nothing to the character.

Thank you, Steve. I should have read ahead as I just posted the same thing well after you did.

Great minds think a like. At least with Mac, it made sense for him to have an Aussie accent since he is Robert’s brother. Still wise for them to stop it.

For Martin, neither Cyrus nor their mother had an accent. His character will be taken more seriously without it.

That’s so funny. I just got back from Jamaica where the KFC franchises are booming. The Jamaicans call it Keep From Cooking.

Please put him on contract

Welcome back. Michael—love you ever since when—-
…now, a word about sicko Esme—-She’s playing a good game of seduction. But, as I had intimated a few weeks ago, Is Nikolas leading her on, or is he simply an idiot? His son is sharper than he. Spencer has finally seen through her —Had no idea he was also into art and its many intricate techniques—chiaro e scuro? ( light and dark) . Contrast– WOW!! Impressive!! I shouldn’t be. He was educated abroud and he is a Cassadine. LOL.
More impressive? That the writers knew the Italian term. They must be connoisseurs??

Aside—I wonder why Harmony did not die? I thought that’s what the accident was all about. …. perhaps this whole mise en scene was for the benefit of either placing Sasha front and center or eliminating the character?

Oh Celia, was I wrong. A while back I thought Harmony was going to be an interesting, oddball character. Instead they turn her into a psychotic murderess with a syringe the size of a tennis racket. And Why? So we can have more of Curtis’ creepy dad, who even overacts his silences? Bad move. So I will enjoy seeing Martin again; his unplaceable accent has grown on me.

LOL–Oh, that syringe, Soaphound, seems to always be at the ready. Have syringe, Will travel.
I do agree, I started liking Harmony, too—At one point, I actually thought she and Ryan had been an item , once upon a time, and that Esme was the product of that demonic union –ergo, a psycho.
Marshall must possibly be the most uninteresting mystery of quite some time on soaps. Who cares where he’s been? —-or why he left his family? I think he and Stella did the “dirty”? Oh, I get it—Curtis is really Auntie’s love-child?
I haven’t warmed up to nuJordan either. Too impersonal and rigid—neither she nor what’s her name? —oh, yeah—Portia (from Willie’s, The Merchant of Venice—sorry….can’t help it.. LOL) appeals to me. I love Curtis, he’s hot—yet, we’re seeing too much of him—and, Sonny.
( excuse the typo in my previous post—abroad)—‘Nite❤️

I don’t think we have heard the real story about Marshall yet. Yeah, there was a “stigma” associated with mental illness which might have caused somebody to hide it from their family back in those days, but I seriously doubt it would cause somebody to fake their death and stay gone for decades.

Sonny – given his experience with the subject – will probably be the one to talk Curtis through all of that, but eventually Marshall’s going to turn up somewhere.

Makes sense, Satan—great synopsis of Marshall’s past, if true.
By the same token, I do not care much about the character unless a bomb drops…..

That’s the best description of Curtis’ dad that I could never think of!

I fully expect Harmony’s arrival in Hell by the end of the day on Friday. But I’m thinking there’s going to be a “deathbed confession” from her first. Only question is… who gets to hear it?

I’m thinking it will NOT be Willow. It damned well better not be Nina.

Why not, Satan? Regardless of how one feels about Nina’s character, she has a right to know who her child is—-vice versa for Willow, albeit I understand. You’re not a mother–LOL. Neither of them deserves to be in the dark.
If we must blame anyone for all this maelstrom of deception— then that person would be Madeline? Was that Nina’s mother’s name? Not sure.
Anyway—-Nina is an amazing mother, as we have witnessed —her treatment of Sasha ( before and after)—She is loving and comforting.
I also like the substitute Alexis—At least, I don’t have to watch her tossing her head hither and yon with every word she utters. Annoying!! And, the affectation of a lisp drives me to distraction.

When Nina thought she was Sasha’s mother she was at least tolerable. Since then, she’s reverted to psycho mode – possibly worse than her original red-haired incarnation, and has become a parasite who is eating the entire show, and I want her gone. Not necessarily in Hell, but if that’s the only way to solve the problem, I’ll take one for the team. She and Harmony could have their little talk in the dragon stables.

I have to disagree to some extent, Satan–Nina needs to be right where she is. The biggest story of her life is about to break open—you see her as a parasite, I see her as a lost middle-aged woman who has gotten herself caught into a trap of spitefulness ( to some degree) and stupidity. At least she didn’t shoot anyone.
I see Carly as a parasite, a hypocrite and an entitled nouveau riche. She was about to get down with Jason when Sonny showed up. She was given some respite when Jason was supposedly killed—-but, imagine if he hadn’t died? Would she go, eeny, meeny miny moe? She was spared that.
Also, you cannot compare her to Harmony and her syringe–Double LOL and HaHaHa!!
Ciao, baby.

The only reason Carly married Jason – first as a “business” strategy, but eventually a “real” marriage – was because they both believed Sonny was dead.

And whose fault was that? Oh right…..

Oh, c’mon, Satan—let’s get real here LOL. Carly has had the hots for Jason since forever—-she wanted both him and Sonny. A threesome even, yes??
Business deal, my you-know-what!! Perhaps I’m different? I don’t know—Jason was Carly’s “bestest” friend? Jason was just as yucky—he was Sonny’ best friend too. How do you do it with your best friend’s wife, dead or not??????!!!!!!
— Disgustoso!! Nice Italian word. Pardon the oxymoron.
Or do it with someone with whom you were not in love? –which lets me to believe that Carlyhas always lusted after Jason—not that I blame her—-look at Sonny!!
Nonetheless, she should be honest with herself and fess up.
I am not condoning what Nina did. But, I will be honest and fess up—I abhor Carly. I love Nina.
See? I am as unreasonable as my husband says. I admit it. LOL.
Ciao.

Satan
Looks like you’re right and it looks like it’s Carly but she tells her that Willow can’t know about Nina and although I think Alex should have been the one to hear this confession, since she was the one who befriended her, it seems to me that Harmony obviously knows of the bad blood between Carly and Nina and Carly would be more than happy to keep the mother/daughter thing a secret.

Has anyone noticed Esme’s very weird clothes? She wears this reddish short dress with little flowers & awful sneakers. Worn this on several different shows, I can’t remember anyone repeating an outfit on a soap!

Wardrobe is likely dressing Esme like that to have her look younger. With pants and her hair down, she’d probably look older than the 19 year olds she’s grouped with.

LOL, Gloria—it’s weird to us —I have nieces from 13-17 years—They all dress like that–high-top Converse. They wear sneakers with cocktail dresses. I know–Strange.
As far as the repetition—yeah, I haven’t seen that either.

Celia, what about Esme’s hairstyle? Is it 1968 again? Personality aside, she’s very pretty and could use a DECEPTION makeover. That repetition thing is funny. On Y&R recently, both Sharon and Victoria wore the same dress four days running because it was all part of the same day! Funny, I don’t mind if Nick or Noah or Adam are wearing the same shirt…just hoping it will be removed.

Actually, Soaphound, all the hot men should go shirtless—-LOL—We sound like two desperate housewives!!
Esme’s hairstyle has really never gone out of style—-it’s just her hair. It is mousy, without flair or umph–that’s the problem.

Seems like they change Esme’s entire look about every three weeks or so. First time they did it, I thought that they were trying to make her look like Harmony, as a clue that Harmony was her mother. I still say she is, but Harmony is on her way to Hell, so who knows whether the storyline of her true parentage will be dropped. Surely Ryan knows who he made a psycho baby with? Has he told Esme who her mama is…. and what will her reaction be to Harmony’s death?

I would love to see Lucy and Martin get together, they will fit just perfect

Right just like back in the day
Tad and Jenny story I just love Michael so glad he is back in soaps

Gail
Looks like you got your wish everyone loves Lucy, even Valentin. She’s always annoyed me, but I can’t fight the majority.l

Love Martin and Lucy together. Lucy has enough money for both of them.

Hooray! So glad he’ll be back next week. I would rather see him with Ava or Alexis than flaky Lucy.

Pam
Martin with Ava or Alexis? They would eat him alive! Lucy, can’t really see him with her either, he and his home spun charm, doesn’t seem her type. As an attorney, I’d have him any day of the week, the sly old fox.

I think he could have sparkling dialogue with Alexis. She was still a lawyer when he first came on and I had visions of them duking it out in court and then it flipping to romance.
Ava is a more recent idea for me. He gives as good as he gets. I think he would be an upgrade from Nik. This Nik doesn’t have chemistry with Ava.

Pam
I’m enjoying our little debate here. I agree with the professional part of Alex and Martin, just not the romantic part. Ava needs a certain kind of man. Someone at least on her level or stronger and that sure isn’t Nick! He’s a dud and I can’t really see any woman on the show that he’d be right for. Now, Mr. CHRISTOPHER, yum

I want them to get together and be a couple long term

Best news I’ve had all week. ☺️

Great news…what about the Nurses Ball this year?

They already announced there is no Nurses’ Ball this year.

Martin and Lucy all the way!

I’m always on the side of love.

Grows they are cute together

Looking forward to his return

WHY ? can’t Valentin and Martin….. BE …. drumroll…. get your panties in a bunch…. TADA !!!!

THE NEW !!!!

Jason and Sonny hunks all over again

Patrick
Jason still looks pretty good but Sonny is looking every bit his age and I think his hunky days are over. I see Nina dancing with this little old man and she’s all gaga and I cringe.

No…do not have Lucy Coe and Martin Grey as a couple. He needs someone else!

Yes, want to see more of Martin and Lucy!!!

I think he will be Harmony lawyer since Diane will not and Scotty is Trina’s lawyer.

Gg
I doubt if she’ll need a lawyer where she’s going!

But if she does need a lawyer, we have plenty to choose from. Since most lawyers end up down here!

A lot of lawyers end up in the ocean too, with the rest of the sharks.

Love him. Hope it continues.

I’m looking forward to this, however, I genuinely hope the accent is dropped. It makes no sense.

I couldn’t agree more. it’s really bad.

Yay! I have missed him and his character. Hope he’s back for good!

I would love to see this relationship grow into a “forever thing. I think they could become a real interesting and loving relationship.

I just want Michael to have the front burner roll he deserves. He has always been my favorite

I’m all for whatever keeps Michael E Knight on the TV canvas! While I never was a fan of dippy Lucy Coe, I’ll take it if it means more Martin Grey!

Love them together. More canvas time please.

Martin and Lucy will be the new Ricky and Lucy!!! Love them both!

Martin and Lucy all the way ❤️

Not a fan of Lucy… tired, fake character. They should hire Cady Mclain. They had real chemistry.

Martin is such a minor character in the overall GH canvas. They’re highly unlikely to pay Cady to come aboard as his love interest.

Other than Lucy, the only pairing that would be intriguing would be Martin and Gladys.

OOOOOOoooooo Martin and Gladys….I can see that!

OMG
Martin and Gladys! She really is a beautiful woman, would look good with him, but could he teach her what really is important in life? She is so materialistic, wants her son to work for Sonny, despite his way of life, as long as he makes the big bucks. Only recently has she shown any interest in Sasha and her well-being and her recently becoming a multi millionaire doesn’t hurt any.

Violet, based on Brando’s behavior to the sleazy reporter, I’d say a job with Sonny’s crew is coming soon. He was pretty threatening. And Gladys? I thought she was making progress but I can also see her leveraging that memory card for a share of Sasha’s fortune. Why doesn’t Sasha just admit she had a relapse? It’s more understandable than what’s gonna happen next.

I think Gladys would drive Martin a little crazy. But then he is sorta with Lucy who is a little “spontaneous.” And would she want try Martin after her experience with his brother, Cyrus Renault?

Love Martin and Coe together

I would love to see Michael and Lucy together.
Welcome back Michael, you were missed.

They need to be together its sweet

I’m digging on Martin and Lucy!

Excited to see him return and hopefully in time for the nurse’s ball. Would be great to catch he and Lucy in their skivvies

Michael E. Knight has the “niche” talent; slapstick comedy. I love seeing him on my screen, and with Lucy too … they are the comedy that General Hospital desperately needs!

Love Martin and Lucy together please.

Well, Yay! I absolutely adore this naturally affable, talented and charismatic actor. All I ask is that they let him give up his phony New Orleans accent. It distracts from his talent. John York as Mac Scorpio was allowed to give up his faux Aussie accent and no one cared or even noticed. I don’t think anyone will care if Martin gives up his phony accent either. In fact, he will shine even more without it

I love MarCy. Lucy loosens Martin up so much. I hope they are given a chance to grow their relationship. I frankly don’t see how Martin’s relationship with Lucy would affect his working relationship with Valentin. Make it make sense.

I like those two together!!! “Lucy Coe”, nobody else is like her!!!!!I love it when she’s on canvas.

Kearran Giovanni Debuts on ‘General Hospital’ as Anna Devane’s New Therapist

Published

By

Kearran Giovanni

If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.

Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.

One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?

Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).

In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.

HEALING ANNA

On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital.  Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.

So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired

Published

By

Finola Hughes

The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.

Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.

Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET

Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.

Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

Jason

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT

At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.

Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.

The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.

So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Did Brook Lynn Deserve Chase Walking Out on Her?

Published

By

Brook Lynn

The marriage of Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) may have come to an end by the conclusion of the Tuesday, September 8 episode of General Hospital.

In story, confronted by Trina (Tabyana Ali), and in front of a room full of Quartermaines, Brook Lynn copped to being the other driver involved in the crash that scarred Jordan’s (Tanisha Harper) face and ultimately sent Curtis (Donnell Turner) to prison.

Chase, who thinks at this point Brook Lynn was covering up her involvement by protecting someone else in the family is shocked to learn it’s Brook Lynn who actually was the driver. Brook Lynn explains she never saw any evidence of a crash when she ran into Jordan’s car, so she didn’t stop to check on anyone. Trina and Jordan are outraged as is Chase.

CHASE PUTS BROOK LYNN ON BLAST

Soon, it comes out that Tracy (Jane Elliot) was involved in the cover-up, and tries to point out that Brook Lynn wasn’t responsible for causing the accident or Curtis punching Isaiah, but Trina says that Brook Lynn tore her family apart, and her father is in prison without the ability to see his newborn son. Trina storms out with Kai (Jen Austin Astrup).

Next, Chase goes on blast on Brook Lynn in front of her entire family. Chase starts to walk out the front door as Brook Lynn tries to stop him. At this point, Chase is all about being lied to, and he goes in on his wife, that they promised there would be no more secrets between them.

Brook Lynn digs a deeper hole for herself when she explained that she’d had a glass of wine before getting in the car to see Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and Trina perform at Charlie’s. She admits to being terrified that she’d lose any chance of adopting baby Phoebe, if she called the police.

TO THE GATEHOUSE HE GOES

Chase is furious that Brook Lynn framed Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) for what she caused and did. With that, Chase leaves Brook Lynn in the dust and heads straight to the gatehouse door to see Willow!

Cut to: Brook Lynn devastated on the staircase of the Q mansion and her dad, Ned Ashton (Wally Kurth) sitting with his daughter to try to comfort her when she decrees her marriage is over.

Now in the pick-up, take a look at the General Hospital teaser video for today’s Wednesday, September 9, episode below.

So, what did you think of how Brook Lynn’s life just blew up in front of her? Does she deserve to have Chase walk out on her for what she did? Do you want Brook Lynn and Chase to work things out, or are you betting by the end of this week Chase and Willow will have hit the sheets? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
