I get the feeling Marten is at best a bit character now. I've had that feeling for a while now but seeing Marten completely abandon his dream (after Jeph spent years not even bringing up Deathmole at all much less ever actually giving them a show or something to get some progress on that dream) for something that is tangentially related at best is what cemented it. Marten's main purpose has largely always been to just prop up the rest of the cast to keep them all together and he's become not even particularly important in that capacity anymore. I think we've reached the point in the comic when Jeph could retire Marten completely and it wouldn't completely wreck the rest of the cast.

What about Claire?

Depends on how he gets retired.

Sadly it's either they have a nasty breakup, he dies in a horrific accident, or suddenly has the Angus treatment and is able to follow his dreams and has to breakup with Claire to follow them...none of those involve Claire leaving too, unless Jeph wanted to keep them together as a couple and forcibly retires her too
BenRG:
I posted this before but the thing is that Faye has never really had a chance to properly mourn her father. She had a total mental breakdown after seeing him killing himself and was hospitalised after a suicide attempt not to long afterwards. She then lapsed into alcoholism and had been 'self-medicating' ever since. She's never been in the position where she was able to process everything that happened to her.
Now she's been dry for a while and is in a situation where she feels relatively safe (with Bubbles and with her social connection firm thanks to her friendships), I think that it is all going to start pouring out of her in various ways and in various times. Mostly unexpectedly, like today.

Fixed that for you; it's not necessary to forget, just to accept.

Well she was in a pretty safe place with Marten for years but chose not to

She was struggling with addiction at that time and was still in such a bad place that she made two debatable suicide attempts (the fire and her drinking herself into unconsciousness).
