Martin Grey Returns To Port Charles
Michael E. Knight joined General Hospital in 2019 as attorney Martin Grey. The character was later revealed to be half-siblings with Laura (Genie Francis.) Martin battled an off-screen ex-wife. Fans were hoping to see Susan Lucci as Erica Kane. Instead, the soap brought actress Kassie DePaiva on as her One Life To Life character, Blair Cramer, as the mysterious ex.
Martin Grey left Port Charles in February after finding his lady love, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring,) in the arms of her ex, Scotty Baldwin (Kin Shriner.) The exit was only supposed to be for a few months. The actor’s return was delayed by the change in writing staff. The legal eagle finally returned this month.
Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) hired the lawyer to represent Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) after she was accused of murder.
