It’s been months since The Young and the Restless fans have seen Ashley (Eileen Davidson). She’s been off the canvas getting psychiatric help in Paris after her mental health struggles with dissociative identity disorder and the revelation she was a victim of Alan’s (Christopher Cousins) twin brother Martin. (We still aren’t certain all that he did to Ashley, but it was clearly traumatizing.) Now with Devon's (Bryton James) and Abby’s (Melissa Ordway) nuptials coming up, Ashley is set to make her triumphant return back to Genoa City.
Unfortunately, we think it’s possible her return can spell the end of the relationship between Alan and Traci (Beth Maitland). For a while now, we’ve suspected that Traci has been falling in love with Martin who is passing himself off as Alan. That somehow, Parisian police misidentified Martin’s dead body and it was really Alan who fell to his death on that fateful night. And instead of sneaking off into the shadows, Martin has taken on his brother’s identity and started dating Traci, ingratiating himself further among the Abbotts.
