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

11

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…

Published

By

Jason and Britt

On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.

Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.

However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON

Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.

He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.

Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”

General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”

So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.

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.

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

Published

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.

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.
