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.

In another part of the hospital, David and Angie hold a press conference, where David announces he's stepping down as Chief of Staff! He says the position will be turned over to Angie, so he can spend more time at home. Jake and Amanda listen in. Angie speaks to the press next, saying she hopes to follow in the steps of Joe Martin. David walks over to see Trevor, and tells Jake and Amanda that he thought it would be nice to free up time with another baby on the way. Jake wryly says he might have waited until she was at least a few months along! David leaves, and Jake asks Angie why Dave really stepped down? Jesse appears and says he wants to know too. Angie says she made a deal with the devil - something Jake and Jesse both know something about! Jesse and Angie step aside and he asks if she threatened to bust David for the pills?! Angie admits it, and tells Jesse just to offer her congratulations.
Jake and Amanda confer in a waiting area of the hospital. Amanda says maybe they can use whatever Angie has against David to make him give up custody of Trevor - then she wouldn't have to get pregnant! Jake is very doubtful. Amanda expresses frustration at the idea of continuing to live with David all these months. Jake says she has the option not to do it, but otherwise, it will all be over in nine months! Amanda gets called in to see the doctor, and Jake tells Trevor the good news is he's getting a sibling, but the bad news is he won't have a face like this - he indicates his own face. He tells the child he doesn't want him to live at David's forever - he loves him too much!
David approaches Jake and Trevor in the waiting room. They bait each other and David delivers the parting shot, "A lot can happen in nine months," before leaving. Amanda then appears and tells Jake what the doctor said about how long it may take. Jake says he'll wait as long as it takes. David watches from a distance as Jake and Amanda embrace.
David has called Liza to Wildwind. He is complaining that Amanda is violating her contract - she's out with Jake doing who knows what! Liza tries to tell him to relax, and accuses him of not really wanting a baby - just to drive a wedge between Jake and Amanda. Jake walks in and declares that will never happen. Amanda follows, and Jake mocks David's need for control over everything. Amanda says she still plans to go through with the artificial insemination - she'll be at the clinic tomorrow, but David says that depends - on whether or not they had sex tonight! Jake hisses that there was no sex - not tonight. Amanda confirms it.
At Wildwind, David gets a call to go to the hospital - he tells Jake, Amanda, and Liza that Adam Chandler's been brought in - he hopes it's serious! After he leaves, Liza informs Amanda and Jake that she thinks they're absolutely nuts! They try to explain their reasons for going through with this plan. Liza takes a call from Zach - he needs her to get him out of jail. Liza leaves. Jake points out to Amanda that they're alone, and asks coyly what she'd like to do? She smiles that they could make love - right there. Jake says David is probably outside with binoculars. Amanda says, "Let him watch." She then explains that they won't even touch - they'll imagine they're doing it. Jake notes it sounds like torture - she says it's a test of endurance! As they talk seductively to one another, Jake imagines making love to her, then asks, "Was it as good for you, as it was for me?"
