 Martin
Ellis, a professional tennis player, comes to Santa Barbara in 1986
following the express request of Eden Capwell. This latter, having
searched in the past of her rival Victoria Lane, discovers the existence
of her former boyfriend, Martin. She goes to Monte Carlo, where Martin is
participating in a tournament, to convince him of the need to resume his
place in Victoria's life. She lies while telling him that Tori has resumed
her love-affair from the past with Cruz Castillo, the object of their
discord, to get him in town.
Fiery
and easily violent, Martin attacks Victoria as from his arrival, whom he
surprises with Pearl Bradford. Martin is mistaken and imagine that Pearl
is Victoria's new boyfriend. Jealous, he hits Victoria on her face. He
thus breaks the last chance to see her coming back with him in Los
Angeles, after she had moreover already drawn a line on her story. Because
of their past affair, Victoria refuses to press charges against him,
although Cruz pushes her to do so.
Realizing
that nothing happened between Victoria and her former lover, Martin spills
the beans to Cruz by revealing that this is his girlfriend Eden who has
made him come to Santa Barbara without his knowledge. Cruz, thinking that
Martin lies to him, comes to fight with him and hurt his leg. Martin then
knows that his professional tennis career is compromised. His leg in
plaster, he helplessly witnesses a violent argument between the two rivals,
a dispute during which the names of Cruz and Katie Timmons are pronounced.
This
is thus having lost for ever his job and the woman he loved that Martin
sets off again from Santa Barbara, where he should have never come...
