Under the show's Facebook post about the couple, fans claimed that Martin was possibly pretending to be Alan and only using Traci to further his own ends.
Many fans took their suspicions to the social media platform, Instagram as well, claiming that danger was just around the corner and things would not go well for this newly blossomed couple.
However, some fans are still hoping that Traci's heart remains unbroken and Alan remains true to his nature. Netizens believe that it is finally time for Traci to be happy and have the love that she deserves:
All in all, fans hope that Traci might not have to face heartbreak at the end of this storyline. However, what unfolds next remains to be seen.
What are the signs that Alan might possibly be Martin on The Young and the Restless?
Fans believe that the soap has been dropping hints that Alan might be Martin. The first clue to this storyline began when Traci announced she had to go to Los Angeles for a meeting. Alan canceled many of his professional engagements to accompany her.
Though this gesture might be romantic on the surface, Alan's character isn't usually the type to brush off his commitments. After their return to Genoa City, Alan commented that he wanted to "take everything in" at the Abbott mansion. Taken by surprise, Traci had to remind him that he had visited before, a comment that Alan circumvented.
During a lunch at Society, Alan also announced that he would be leaving Paris and his job to be with Traci in Genoa City. It is also unlike Alan to make such a huge commitment in the early stages of a relationship. These clues have led audiences to believe that the character is not who he seems to be.
What happened to Alan and Martin on The Young and the Restless?
Martin is believed to have died on The Young and the Restless when he tumbled off a balcony in a scuffle against his brother Alan. Alan was even identified as the good twin since the brothers were wearing different clothing at the time of the fall. At the time, both the characters and the audience believed that there was no time for a swap to occur.
However, the soap has been known to bring characters back from the dead unexpectedly. Many fans are theorizing that Martin might have recovered from the fall and swapped clothes after possibly killing his twin. However, the showrunners and cast of the soap itself have offered no confirmation of this at the time of writing this article.
Audiences can follow Traci and Alan's story on The Young and the Restless, streaming on Paramount+ and CBS. New episodes of the soap are released on weekdays.
