Martin Grey, played by Michael E. Knight, made his debut on General Hospital on September 30, 2019. He started by taking over Nelle Benson’s case after she fired her out-of-state attorney, Nora Buchanan.
Even though the situation was tough, Martin agreed to help Nelle at her parole hearing, marking his entry into the legal issues in Port Charles. From that point, Martin’s role grew quite rapidly. He went on to represent important clients like Franco Baldwin, during his identity crisis as Drew Cain.

As his storyline on General Hospital developed further, Martin got involved in significant events, such as the hunt for The Hook, where he worked with Ric Lansing and others to identify the attacker.

Even though the character's exit was supposed to be for a shorter duration, the changes in the show's writer’s team became the reason for Martin’s exit from Port Charles for nearly five months. Now that the character is back in town, fans can expect more drama and unexpected twists with his return.
