Michael E. Knight’s time on “General Hospital” has ended, at least temporarily.

According to Soap Opera Digest, which first reported the news, the actor, who has played the recurring role of Martin Grey on and off since 2019, left the canvas last week when the character boarded a plane to visit his ailing mother.

The outlet noted that Knight’s exit is temporary but did not provide any indication as to when the character might return, particularly as the series is undergoing a shift behind the scenes with new head writers taking over from outgoing head writers Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor, the two primary writers behind the character’s introduction.

In the episode aired on Monday, February 12, as Martin is preparing to leave town, his girlfriend Lucy (Lynn Herring) tries to let him know how she feels after realizing her true feelings for him but is thwarted by Martin, who can’t shake the continued attachment Lucy has with her ex, Scott (Kin Shriner). Additionally, one of his last acts before leaving Port Charles was to encourage Laura and her husband Kevin (Genie Francis and Jon Lindstrom) to adopt Laura’s grandchild, baby Ace, as the two are the closest family the child has left following the presumed death of Ace’s mother, Esme (Avery Kristen Pohl), and the imprisonment of his father, Nikolas (Adam Huss), along with the presumed death of his older brother, Spencer (Nicholas Chavez).

Before joining “General Hospital” in September 2019, Knight was best known to soap fans for his long-running portrayal of Tad Martin on “All My Children,” having played the character off and on from 1982 through the show’s ABC finale in 2011. He later reprised the role in 2013 for the online reboot. As Tad Martin, Knight crossed over to sister soap “One Life to Live” in 2003 and 2005 during the infamous baby switch storyline encompassing both shows.

Outside of playing Tad Martin, Knight also portrayed look-alike Ted Orsini on the soap opera for a storyline from 1993 to 1994. By 2015, Knight joined the cast of “The Young and the Restless” in the recurring role of Simon Neville. He concluded his run on the CBS soap in 2016.

In primetime, Knight has appeared in episodes of “Matlock,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “ Hot in Cleveland” and “NCIS,” among others.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow

    • Today's episode was excellent. Clearly it was confrontation day and they didn't disappoint. I'm glad they didn't forget Mona in all of this and gave us an opportunity to see how she's dealing with this. A major highlight for me were the Kat and Martin scenes. Their chemistry is off the charts and I don't understand why we haven't gotten more of this. I love how they take turns calming each other down. They feel really well matched and believable as siblings. Speaking of siblings, they anvils were dropping strong that Kat and Eva are twins but I do wish someone would mention that they are essentially hood twins which might throw people off the scent.  I'm one of the people who enjoyed Joey and the gambling storyline so it was nice to see him again. It was nice to see different characters like Mona and Eva in that element instead of the usual players. When Doug arrived I don't know what hit me but I just see a funeral in his future. He seems so hopeless and has the worst luck. I just can't see him surviving the year at this rate.
    • In fiction there has become an expectation by some that every Black character should represent excellence and perfection. It's not like we are talking about a Tyler Perry show where none of the characters are happy and everyone hates each other with a passion.
    • And on rewatch, I could've done without the unsubtle praising Matt like he was the only one who ever accepted Van as she was...but TPTB and their agendas.  It was totally in character for Vanessa to shut down emotionally until she was alone. While she could be volatile, both she and Henry believed in keeping emotions private.  Thank God it's still Bryan Buffinton in the role for both Henry's and HB's funerals. It just wouldn't have been the same with Ryan Brown, who couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. Roll My Eyes.
