Michael E. Knight Took This GH Co-Star With Him On His Honeymoon

In the day of healthier economic times, soap opera viewers were treated to romantic remotes for honeymoons featuring their favorite couples. However, General Hospital star Michael E. Knight hit a snag when he was about to embark on his real-life post-wedding vacation with then-wife Catherine Hickland.

Michael E Knight And James Patrick Stuart Are Best Friends

Michael E Knight (Martin Gray) and GH co-star James Patrick Stuart (Valentin Cassadine) recently took part in a GH Fantasy Events gathering via Zoom with a large group of supporters. Knight recounted how he and Hickland were all set to go on a romantic honeymoon to Nevis when a huge opportunity threw a snag into their plans.

“Here’s something,” Michael E Knight told GH Fantasy Events attendees. “I took Patrick on my honeymoon. Catherine and I had gotten married. I went back to All My Children [as Tad Martin]. I don’t think she was on Loving yet [as Tess].”

The Show Must Go On

However, Hickland did get an amazing opportunity and that was to do Les Miserables on Broadway. Knight says that he attempted to get a refund or reschedule on the honeymoon but the deal was locked in; the trip had to be taken or the funds already spent would be lost.

“I called Patrick and said, ‘I’ve got these tickets — you want to go to a Four Seasons with me?'” Knight shares. At the time, there was a huge soap following in Nevis so when the two AMC heartthrobs showed up, all eyes were upon them!

Michael E Knight Has Great Taste in Friends

“Patrick insisted on getting a Speedo,” Knight chuckles. “Remember we went scuba diving on that trip?” Stuart shares. “We saw a skeleton in a [ship] wreck.” The two also caught an episode of the first season of a sitcom that would go on to become one of TV’s most popular programs — Friends! “We saw the [show in which] Marcel [the monkey] changed the TV to Spanish [language].”
