After a lengthy hiatus, Michael E. Knight’s alter-ego is back in the thick of the action on General Hospital. As Martin Grey is busily building up a defense for a jailed Alexis, Knight is spending the majority of his time in Nancy Lee Grahn’s company — and that suits him just fine!

Michael E. Knight Sings Nancy Lee Grahn’s Praises

“I’ve got a crush on Nancy,” effused the actor to Soap Opera Digest. “Nancy is wonderful! I mean, how lucky am I? Nancy has forgotten more about doing daytime than most people will ever know. I love her. She’s phenomenal. She’s one of those people where it literally doesn’t matter what the scene [is about] — she’s like playing handball against the wall; it doesn’t matter what you hit, it’s going to come back to you.’

Knight continued to heap copious amounts of praise on his costar, adding that: “Nancy is really, really good with story. Where I’m like, ‘Okay, I say this, then you say this, then I say this, then you say this,’ Nancy really knows the story. Nancy would be a great story editor because she will come in and if there is a sour note, if there’s something that doesn’t quite match up to where she knows we should be, because she knows the rhythm of soaps, she knows, ‘Okay, this is what changes from day to day, this is the plot point,’ and if something doesn’t work, she’ll know it! She is automatic.

“So, she is not one to be off book, but let me tell you, when the cameras roll, she is there a thousand percent. Working with her is phenomenal. She’s a joy! And that is the technique she has spent decades creating and I am lucky to be in that orbit. I got no complaints, trust me!”
