General Hospital
Michael E. Knight Exits General Hospital For Now
Daytime favorite Michael E. Knight has left his role of Martin Grey on ABC’s General Hospital. However, it appears this move is a temporary one.
Knight, who has played the recurring role of Laura Collins’ (Genie Francis) brother and a love interest for Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), began in the role on the ABC daytime drama series since 2019.
GH wrote off the legal eagle when on the February 12th episode, Martin left Port Charles to visit his mother who has been in failing health. On that episode, Lucy tries to let Martin know how she truly feels for him, but Martin isn’t willing to listen to any of it, since he can’t deal with her ongoing relationship with her ex Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner) and he breaks things off with her.

According to Soap Opera Digest, Knight will be off the canvas temporarily. No dates were cited as to when he would return. With the series undergoing a writing regime shift with Patrick Mulcahey and Elizabeth Korte taking over the head scribe duties from Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor, it will be interesting to see if they bring the character back sooner than later.

Viewers know Knight best for his Daytime Emmy-winning role as Tad Martin on All My Children; a role he played on and off from 1982-2011. Knight returned to the Prospect Park version of the series when AMC finally was rebooted online in 2013. Later In 2015, he joined The Young and the Restless as Dr. Simon Neville in a role that he played until 2016.
So, how do you feel about Michael E. Knight exiting General Hospital? Will the series bring him back? Were you rooting for Martin and Lucy to find happiness with one another? Comment below.
I’m trying to figure out who that is in that last picture between MEK and Jill Larson. Linda Dano? Judith McConnell? Somebody else I’m not thinking of?
Oh, of course it is–that makes perfect sense now. I was wondering why either Dano or McConnell would have been in the picture in the first place, but Meriwether makes sense. Thanks so much, Michael.
He still looks like a tasty treat Silver Fox and all
I had the worse crush on him while he was on All My Children. He never disappoints and he looks fantastic with his beautiful silver hair. I hope they bring him back.
hope he returns soon, great character
Love him on GH all time favorite of mind
Love tad the cad. Martin on GH
Bring him back
He just never clicked with me. Maybe it was his past work people liked and were just happy to see him back on daytime. I didnt like the accent either. It was a distraction. But, I did like him as Laura’s brother.
Hes still Laura’s brother, nothing has really changed, even his silly attraction to the crazy Lucy Coe.
Bring him back and give him more air time. He’s a great actor.
Why do the writers do that for they mess everything up BRING HIM BACK
I really like “Martin” & “Lucy” together!!! Bring MEK BACK!!!
I’d rather see Martin than Cyrus because the constant Bible thumping every five seconds is getting tiresome. Hopefully the new head writers will do something about that.
Understandable but I ADORE the all too often under appreciated Jeff Kober (Cyrus)! I’ve been a huge fan of his work since his outstanding role on China Beach TV series MANY years ago. He has adapted beautifully to the far more pace of Daytime acting vs film and weekly episodic TV guest spots, winning an Emmy Award for his GH work.
Did you see his guest appearance on L&O:SVU? I’ve remembered that for years. Absolutely chilling. I think he may not get the credit he’s due because the character is awful. I hope the new writers make Cyrus more complex. The former writers took a swing but they missed.
Totally agree! I think they’re both terrific actors! I especially loved the convo between “Uncle Martin” and “Spencer” when the latter was in prison and Spencer described his “Uncle Cyrus” as a figure from the Greek Pantheon and Martin quipped about his own role. I have no idea what the new writers will do, but I hope they bring him back. Laura’s brothers are the best thing about her!
I agree with you.
Not Happy About seeing him off the show.Have been watching this soap for 35 yrs.now,Not Happy with all the constant changes every month.!!
Bye let sonny and Carly find they way back nina is old news stop making her out to be the one their’s ONLY ONE BOSS LADY CARLY FOR THE WIN FIX THINGS WITH MICHAEL AND SONNY LET HIM FOLLOW IN HIS FATHER STEP AS BOSS LET THEM WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM FIX IT NOW HEAT IT UP IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE CURTIS BACK WITH COP WIFEY
I love everything about Michael E Knight. I hope they bring him back sooner than later and add a little humor to his character. He is so good with comedy roles ❣️
I hope they bring the character of Martin back, and give him a story. I love Michael E. Knight. While the character took a minute to grow on me, I like the Lucy/Martin pairing and would love to see it develop.
Hard to miss someone you hardly ever see anyway, but I’m always happy to see him when he does show up. He breezez in and out and it’s usually with something important to help Laura or a client like Nina or Valentin, who don’t deserve his expertise.
Please bring Todd bback to general hospital,,, I’ve loved him since A M C ,, the only thing different is his hair and his playboy attitude.. you had to love the bad boy
Yes please bring todd Martin back,, I’ve loved him since AMC,,, the only difference is his silver hair and his Playboy attitude,, every body loved to l love to love the bad boy,,,
I sure hope they bring him back I love the silver fox I also like to know my children he’s one handsome man
I love seeing him on GH. Hope he returns sooner rather than later.
I’d like to see him on more once he returns. I actually think since the show is dumb enough to be writing Gregory Harrison out at some point even though it was rumored he’d be a love interest for Alexis before they decided to do yet ANOTHER fatal illness story…that Alexis and Martin could be a fun couple. Two lawyers (even thought Alexis is disbarred); both snarky. Could be a fun pairing. He and Lucy were shown so infrequently I have no investment in them.
I hate that MEK left the show. He is the reason why I watch GH, besides Genie Frances and Jon Limstrom. Until MEK returns I won’t be watching GH. If he returns please give him a strong powerful story line and a love interest and maybe even a daughter. Bring Cady McClain on as his true love interest. ❤️. Well he comes back I will return.
I dont like the new Martin. I liked the Southern Gentlemen whole lot better.
loved his witty sarcasim oh all my children and especially now on gh…come back soon

I love Michael in ANY role he plays…but Tad Matin was by far his BEST on All My Children. Please keep him on ABC soaps: can’t bare the thought of losing him…

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

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.
