Martin has vowed not to cross Tracy again, but that was all a lie when he thought back on his latest stunt during the January 7, 2026 episode of General Hospital.
Key Takeaways
- Tracy thinks Chase was behind the tip to Alexis.
- Martin was revealed to be the person eavesdropping on Tracy and Michael.
- Martin not only crossed Tracy this time, he crossed Michael.
Martin’s Latest Scheme
Martin (Michael E. Knight) and Tracy (Jane Elliot) have been playing the most evil game of ping pong for months. Martin helped with Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) plans to demolish the Quartermaine crypt, prompting Tracy to get Martin sent to prison over his unpaid alimony. Then Martin retaliated by changing Monica’s (the late Leslie Charleson) will so Ronnie (Erika Slezak) inherited the house, leaving Tracy to blackmail him into helping her regain her family heirlooms from Drew.
The back and forth has all been pretty fun to watch, until Martin’s latest stunt hurt Michael (Rory Gibson). After a run-in with Tracy at the Port Charles Grille, where he promised not to cross her again, he left and thought back on a pivotal moment he’d eavesdropped on.
He remembered peeking through the glass door of the mansion, cracked just enough to overhear Michael and Tracy discuss Michael being on Drew’s street the night of the shooting. Martin walked away with a smirk, confirming it was indeed him who sent Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) the anonymous tip.

Tracy, on the other hand, thinks the person behind it all was someone else entirely. She believes it had to be someone living in the mansion, and the only one there willing to throw her and Michael under the bus to save Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) is her grandson-in-law, Chase (Josh Swickard).
As Tracy prepares to blame Chase for the turn of events, she has no idea the real culprit has been right under her nose. But this will all take a back burner when Drew gives an explosive testimony on the stand, according to General Hospital spoilers for January 8.
