Spoilers for General Hospital hint There is a serious issue with Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring). She is in love with a man who has a significant secret. Martin “Marty” Grey (Michael E. Knight) has made it apparent that he no longer wants anything to do with the institution of marriage after being married and divorced three times. He hasn’t been open with Lucy about the $50K a month he makes as the ex-husband of his enigmatic third wife.
Apparently wealthy and somehow involved in the same industry Lucy is, fans are picking up on numerous hints that Marty just may be the former Mr. Erica Kane. If he was married to the cosmetics industry leader and socialite Erica Kane (Susan Lucci), does that mean we’re going to see her soon?
General Hospital Spoilers — It’s Not Alimony
Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) has caused quite a stir with her recent revelation about Marty’s latest wife. According to Anna, Marty’s ex is actually the wealthier of the two, and is paying him alimony. But is there any truth to this accusation?
Anna may have done some digging into Marty’s past, but did she uncover the same information as Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner), who dared to go through his garbage looking for dirt? Rumor has it Anna and Felicia have both unearthed the same secret, but Anna made some assumptions that don’t exactly measure up.
GH Spoilers Leak Jack is Just the Middleman
Lucy is now painfully aware of some unusually large payments coming into Marty’s bank account. She can’t fathom what business he might have out of state that he never looked her into. Is he running some kind of scam? Why is he raking in so much dough he never told her about? Certainly if it’s a secret then it can’t be anything good, right?
Well, sort of. Jack might be dispersing payments from Erica to Marty, but that doesn’t mean they have anything to do with alimony. It’s quite possible that during their marriage, Marty helped Erica with the creation of an age-defying product she’s never brought to market, and now, Deception has. Did Marty give away the plans to The Deceptor after he already sold its rights to Erica?
It’s Not Alimony; It’s Dividends
The most logical response to the query of who Marty might have been married to in Pine Valley is none other than cosmetics heiress Erica Kane (Susan Lucci). Since Erica was well-known in the Pine Valley beauty community and had ties to Jack, she was an obvious option to be Marty’s partner. Additionally, it would explain why Marty was getting paid for a product that wasn’t even created if he had sold Erica the blueprints for The Deceptor years ago.
It’s all speculation, of course, but it certainly adds an intriguing layer to the mystery surrounding Marty’s past. If he was married to Erica, Lucy may come to wonder if the only reason he chased after her was because she’s the next best thing to his latest wife.
