Jake Martin, called Joey as a child, was born to Ruth and Joe Martin. He was a by-the-book kid who always followed the rules. He met and fell in love with Emily Ann Sago and married her against his parents' wishes. Emily Ann lost her mind when she realized her birth parents were Billy Clyde Tuggle and Estelle LaTour; she became pregnant but lost the baby. Unable to cope, Emily Ann was committed to an institution. Jake divorced Emily Ann and moved to Stanford to attend Medical School.
Jake eventually dropped out of Stanford and began working as a handyman. During this time he met Liza Colby and they began dating. Liza eventually realized "Jake" was Tad's brother "Joey" and broke off their affair. He was hired by Adam, whom Liza had married, as an assistant at WRCW. Adam hoped that Jake would get a tape of Liza fooling around so he could divorce her. Jake was still in love with Liza and refused to do Adam's bidding.
Next he met and began dating Belinda but that relationship never went anywhere. He began working at Pine Valley Hospital where he met Allie Doyle. They were immediately attracted but Dr. David Hayward threw a wrench in their relationship because he was Allie's ex. David proposed to her but she turned him down so he blackmailed her by threatening to tell Joe Martin she falsified her college transcripts. David tried to ruin Jake, too, by drugging Adam Chandler while he was recovering from a stroke. Adam was nearly killed and David blamed Jake for it. Jake was suspended from the hospital.
Soon after, Liza decided it was time to have a baby. Jake offered to be her sperm donor and stay out of the child's life. Liza agreed. Then, she and Adam reunited. Jake, who had married Gillian, was afraid that Adam would harm the child and decided he would sue for custody. During this time Gillian and Ryan were involved in a car accident. Jake became her doctor. Gillian knew the truth about Liza's child, Colby, - that Adam switched sperm samples and was the child's biological father - but was unable to tell Jake because of her injuries. When he finally learned the truth he felt betrayed by Gillian. He left town angry which led to Gillian and Ryan getting back together. Gillian was eager for Jake to return so she could divorce him to be with Ryan. Jake had gone to Chechnya and was injured during the fighting there. When Jake returned, still in bad shape, Gillian realized she couldn't leave him and began neglecting Ryan. Ryan eventually told her their relationship was over.
Gillian and Jake eventually did divorce but remained friends.
Jake became involved with Greenlee Smythe and was also focused on destroying Dr. David Hayward. Greenlee couldn't let go of Leo, though, and Jake turned to Mia. She didn't keep his interest long and Jake was soon dating Greenlee again. Jake learned that David had put Dixie in danger while treating her heart condition but both Dixie and Tad convinced him not to go public with the information. Thinking he had the upper hand, David went to the board to have Joe removed from his Chief-of-Staff position. The board agreed that Joe was slipping but then named Jake as the new Chief of Staff and not David!
Jake and Mia soon got back together but Mia was being blackmailed by Trey. Mia told Jake that Trey helped her give up her son for adoption. Trey wanted to disrupt the child's adoption but Jake helped Mia convince them not to destroy the boy's life. A short time later, Liza accidentally pushed Mia off a balcony at the Chandler manse. Jake wanted Liza to pay for her crime but Mia would not press charges. They became closer than ever until Mia decided to go into business with Greenlee, Liza, Kendall and Simone. Mia worked long hours getting Fusion off the ground and began associating with handsome men, making Jake jealous. He proposed but Mia wasn't ready for marriage. Insecure because of her supposed rejection, Jake turned to Allison, an intern at the hospital, and they began an affair. When Simone caught them in a broom closet, Jake ran away from Pine Valley, leaving only a note for Mia and for Tad. Soon after, the Martins received word that Jake had joined the Doctors Without Borders program.
Jake returned to town a few months later with fiancee Carolyn in town. Mia was upset, especially when Jake blamed their break-up on her. Tad told him off but Jake stuck to his guns. Joe and Ruth were just glad to have their son back but Jake said he couldn't stay in Pine Valley because of his past. Both he and Carolyn returned to their jobs with Doctors Without Borders.
Jake was rescued from Africa by Aidan Devane after a ransom was sent to Zach's office. He wanted to return to Africa but Tad was hurt when Papel crashed Jesse's wedding and stayed in town. Tad and Joe convinced him to remain in town. Jake began an affair with Amanda but was also attracted to Taylor Thompson; when Amanda figured this out, she dumped him.
Jake focused on Taylor, who was recovering from paralysis after a fall at the hospital.
Jake came back in Pine Valley and helped Amanda plot against David, who wanted to steal her child when it was born. Jake and Amanda decided to get married and left town for her to have the baby. Jake made a side deal with Liza, telling her she could adopt Amanda's baby, but he actually got her another infant and hid Amanda's baby. Jake and Amanda told David that the baby died in childbirth. Currently, Jake and Amanda are hatching a plan to have her son turn up as an abandoned child, which they will then adopt.

At the police station, Amanda and Jake argue about his plan to lie under oath to incriminate David. Liza is there regarding Damon's case, and Tad rushes over to ask her to talk sense into Jake! Liza hurries over to where Jake is about to sit down with Jesse. Jake sighs and says he'll give her a minute. Amanda, Liza, and Tad all try to make Jake see that he could be prosecuted for lying to the police. Liza warns he will get tripped up, and then he'll go to prison for perjury! Jesse comes back into the room and asks if Jake is ready. Jake says, "Let's get this show on the road!" Amanda and Tad walk out and comment on Jake self-destructing. Jake gives Jesse his statement, saying he saw David get on the elevator at Fusion and go up. Jake tells him it was Monday night, and Jesse tersely informs him that Fusion was attacked on Tuesday. Liza realizes that Jake deliberately got the day wrong - he saw the light.
Ryan comes to the police station, where he speaks to Jake in passing. Jesse appears and asks about what happened at Wildwind. Ryan comments that it sounds like Erica got nowhere, and David then suggested that Ryan was the reason Fusion was targeted. Jesse still thinks it doesn't make sense for David to dredge up feelings about Leo or Greenlee now. They wonder if there is a grain of truth in it, what it could be?
Jake, Tad, Liza, and Amanda gather at ConFusion where Jake suggests that they come up with something better to incriminate David - like putting a cufflink in Fusion next to the computer. Tad says they aren't there to talk about nailing David - this is an intervention - Jake has to stop! Amanda tells Jake she is with him because he's not like David. Jake says he didn't start this - he's just making sure it's over! Liza tells him to think about losing his family. Tad hits Jake on the back of the head and follows Liza who has walked over to the bar. She sighs, and tells him that Bailey left with Stuart to live with her parents - she's gone for good. Liza doesn't want to see another family ripped apart because of David. David walks into Fusion and Amanda tells him to just leave. David informs them that he's getting married on Valentine's Day - and if they want to know who the bride is, they'll have to show up!
At the hospital, Angie tells Amanda and Jake that David is not going to be doing surgery there after all. Amanda says that's great - he's got no reason to stay then! She urges Jake to let it go once and for all. Jake still wants to go ahead with the lawsuit. They argue, and Jake assures her they'll have peace - as soon as he knows David is gone.
Tad is joking with Krystal about her accident at the Martin house. Opal insists that her tea leafs say something is amiss - and whatever is getting started has wicked written all over it! Tad thinks of David, but says he is supposed to be leaving town. Krystal wryly points out that he's lied before. Tad says if David stays, then Jake will take care of him! Jake and Amanda come in - Amanda announces that David is leaving. They start teasing Krystal, and she gets up to leave the room. Jake asks where Liza is, and Amanda explains that Jake is going to drop the lawsuit. Krystal urges them to hold off - they have two years to file it. Opal gets back on the topic of the ominous tea leaf reading, and Tad gets a call from his man at the airport - David's plane just took off for Gloucester! The all toast teacups to the good news.
Ryan arrives at the Martin house and fills them all in on the latest about David. He admits that they need to figure out what his motive would be for sabotaging Fusion. Amanda tells Ryan that she and Liza saw a tabloid at Wildwind with him and Erica on the cover - it was torn in half! Opal urges Ryan to drink tea. Krystal explains that Opal will read the leaves. Ryan is dubious, but he drinks it. When he finishes everyone yells at him to swirl clockwise three times! Ryan starts to worry about Erica, who is with David right now. He leaves, and Jake, Amanda, and Tad decide to go to the police station. Opal reads Ryan's tea cup and tells Krystal that something is going to happen to him that will change his life for good!
Back down at the police station, Tad, Jake, and Amanda offer up the ripped tabloid to Jesse as a motive for David doing in Fusion. Jesse says they still don't have anything other than circumstantial evidence. Jake blurts that he saw David that night - going up in the elevator! Jesse is skeptical, and Amanda glares. Jesse steps away and Tad hisses that he's going to call Liza - someone needs good legal advice.
