GH News – Micheal E. Knight’s Gratitude Towards Soap Audience

He was also thankful for all the support of his soap fans.

“But there’s never been an audience like the soap audience. What drives the business, what keeps it alive, is the fact that this audience is truly second to none,” he said.

He recalled how the soap audience helped save his job back in the day when the show’s boss wanted him gone.

This line of thinking inspired him to reach out to Frank Valentini, “General Hospital’s” executive producer. He added that he was “totally humbled and totally grateful” when Valentini was open to the possibility of him doing some work on the show. Not only that, Valentini actually had an offer for him, which he’s very thankful for.

He concluded the interview by saying that he’s been so lucky especially for having friends he can count on. Knight added that people shouldn’t be sorry for him because he’s very lucky for being part of three wonderful shows.
