[edit] Storyline

Jake, then referred to as Joey, was born to Dr. Joe Martin and his second wife, Ruth. He grew up a good kid and as a young adult, fell in love with Emily Ann Sago. Although the two married against Joe and Ruth's wishes, their love wasn't meant to last. When Emily Ann discovered that sadistic pimp Billy Clyde Tuggle was her birth father, she became mentally unhinged. After trying to help her the best he could, Joey divorced her after she was locked up in the mental institution. Soon after, Joey left for medical school in 1991.

Joey returned to Pine Valley in 1996, now known as Jake. Having dropped out of medical school, he became a handyman. He married Gillian Andrassy in 2000 and the two were divorced in 2001. Gillian miscarried their baby in February 2001. Jake was then involved with Greenlee Smythe, and Mia Saunders, and had started up his medical career again before leaving Pine Valley in 2003. In August 2007, he called his nephew, Jamie Martin, for help in Africa with AIDS patients.

[edit] Back from Darfur

Held hostage in Darfur, Zach Slater had to rescue Jake Martin and sent Aidan Devane to bring Jake back. They made it back safely and Jake Martin is now in Pine Valley.
