But Traci (Beth Maitland)! Y&R writers seem to have forgotten that she exists and that she is still single. Traci has been without a partner for a very long time on the show. But that might change soon. If the inside leaks are true, Traci is set to get a new partner on Y&R soon.

Amidst all the reunions he’s been having, there was one subtle reunion with someone special on the New Year. We are talking about Traci Abbott here, Daniel’s forgotten wife, in fact, his first wife. A lot of new viewers may not know this but yes, Traci was married to Daniel for a brief time in the 80s. And how they got married is a very interesting story in itself.

Daniel Romalotti and Traci Abbott got married to one another in an interesting turn of events
Back in the day, when Traci was still a teenager, she was often bullied for being overweight. It led her to become shy, insecure, and under-confident about herself. She did not open up to many people but secretly, she pined for rock star Danny. Luckily, she even got to sing with him. But Lauren loathed seeing them together and did everything to keep them apart.
Traci eventually got involved in an affair with her college professor Tim Sullivan (Scott Palmer) who dumped her after she got pregnant with his baby. On the heels of this betrayal, Traci tried to kill herself. But thanks to Danny – he not only saved her but also married her so that her baby would have a proper family. Although Danny wanted to make things easier for Traci, things never quite worked out between them. Eventually, after Traci miscarried, their marriage was annulled.

Well, that was a long time ago. Both of them were still very young and no wonder, immature. But time has changed. And for all that we know, both of them are single and definitely mature enough. For goodness sake, Y&R writers should consider giving Traci a worthy partner, even if it’s not Danny!
