"What if neither of the brothers actually died? We think one of them died by falling off the roof in Paris. But in a soap anyone can be alive when we think they’re dead."
Whitaker posted her view on the Facebook fan page, titled Young and Restless Canadian Day Ahead Recaps - Soaps Spoilers. Various other fans of the soap agreed with Whitaker.
Others tabled different opinions questioning Martin's connection with Sharon and Phyllis.
Some others brought forward different views, suggesting Alan is a bad character or he could be a third brother in the Laurent family.
