GEN storylines
When Generations debuted, Ruth Marshall convinced her husband, Henry to enlist Martin's help to market their business, Marshall's Ice Cream, nationwide. Martin did not agree with Rebecca Whitmore going over his proposal and Henry did not agree with Martin's proposal for expanding the business.

Henry refused to go along with his plan to expand Marshall's Ice Cream, which soured the deal between the two. Martin's wife, Doreen, did not like that he was spending time with Ruth when she could be able to change Henry's mind. While playing pool with Henry, Martin agreed agreed to help refurbish Henry's Southside ice cream plant if Henry won the game and agreed to move the plant to the suburbs if Martin wins. Henry won their pool and Martin had to go through with his offer to make improvements on Henry’s Southside ice cream plant.

Upon Ruth's request, Martin took her son, Adam under his wing and taught him about business. Martin became suspicious of Doreen after she lied about being at a spa and realized that she was having an affair, but did not know that it was with Adam Marshall.

After Martin discovered that Adam was sleeping with Doreen, he arranged for Adam to get stopped for speeding and get arrested for possession of drugs. When Doreen find out about Martin's involvement in Adam's misfortune, she told him to get Adam out of trouble or she would reveal information about Martin’s past illegal deeds. Martin's right hand, Joel Resnick, force Candace Thompson (a girl whom Adam was sleeping with and was responsble for planting the drugs in his career) to testify at Adam's trial. Martin told the copy who arrested Martin to change his story and the judge dropped the charges against Adam.

Martin began scheming to takeover another ice cream company. When Doreen began pregnant, she led Martin to believe that he was the father. Martin hired a housekeeper/nurse, Hilda and ordered her to keep tabs on Doreen's every move.

Martin send Henry out of town on a promotional tour leading Adam to inform his father that he was up to no good.

When Martin came across the results of Adam's negative sickle cells test, he began to suspect that Doreen may be carrying Adam's baby. Martin had Joel sneak into the clinic and change the results of Adam's sickle cell anemia test from negative to positive and Adam confronted Martin after learning that Martin had changed the results of Adam's sickle cell anemia test from negative to positive.

Ruth sold her share of Marshall's Ice Cream to Martin and he began running the business without consulting Henry. Martin became upset when Ruth asked to buy back her share. Martin became even more upset when the IRS wanted to audit his company. Martin was stunned when the IRS said he owes them $3 million dollars.

Because of his financial trouble with the IRS, Martin signed his assets over to Doreen, but didn't tell her that the deal included the Marshall's Ice Cream stock he bought from Ruth. Martin sold Ruth worthless stock when she paid him for the return of the stock she sold him to get the money to buy the Whitmore mansion. The real Marshall's Ice Cream stocks are in an unwitting Doreen's name.

Martin arranged for he and Doreen's apartment to be robbed and instructed Joel not to fence a wedding ring that belonged to Doreen's mother.

He planned to use Doreen's interview with the Chicago Tribune about the racial acts against the Marshall family to promote Marshall's Ice Cream sales.

After Doreen had the baby, Martin claimed to be the father of her baby with Adam, who was delivered by Daniel Reubens, who was getting acquainted with Doreen. When Martin asked Doreen about her naming the baby "Danielle" she kept mum. Martin fumed when Adam stood in for Henry at Danielle's christening. Martin spoke with a drunken Charles, and was interested to learn that Charles and Helen Mullen had a daughter who died.

Joel blabbed to Martin that Doreen saw Adam while Martin was out of town on business with Henry.

Doreen told Martin about her involvement with Daniel.

Martin stunned Maya Reubens with the news Adam and Doreen had an affair.

Martin told Jordan Hale that hewas interested in purchasing some art works from his hotel's art gallery.

Martin arranged to sell his shares of Marshall's Ice Cream to P&K Industries. He lied to Todd Kelsey about Henry being out of town and wouldn't attend their meeting on the sale of Martin's stock.

After Martin gave Daniel the photos taken of Daniel and Doreen making love by the lake, Doreen took Danielle and walked out on Martin, leaving him a note.

Martin fumed when he learned that his deal with Todd Kelsey was null and void because Doreen rescinded the power of attorney she had given Martin. He later kidnapped Danielle and told Doreen she has to leave with him if she wants to see her daughter again.

After Adam convinced Joel to turn against Martin and Adam returned Danielle to Doreen, Martin took off in his jet but not before making sure that Ruth and Henry found out about Danielle's paternity.
