Jake Martin (All My Children)

Résumé
Jake Martin is a fictional character on the long-running American daytime drama, All My Children. Since the character's on-screen birth in 1979, he has been portrayed by several actors: Michael Scalera, Michael Brainard, Michael Lowry, J. Eddie Peck and Ricky Paull Goldin, who took over the role on April 30, 2008, until the series finale on September 23, 2011. Jake, originally known as Joey, is the late-in-life son born to Joe Martin and his second wife, Ruth, who is a nurse. He falls in love with Emily Ann Sago, the daughter of reformed prostitute Estelle LaTour. Although the two marry against Joe's and Ruth's wishes, their love wasn't meant to last. Emily Ann becomes pregnant shortly after they marry but later miscarries the child. When Emily Ann discovers that sadistic pimp Billy Clyde Tuggle is actually her birth father, she becomes mentally unhinged. After trying to help her the best he can, Joey divorces her after she is institutionalized. Soon after, Joey leaves for medical school in 1991. Joey returns to Pine Valley in 1996, now known as Jake. Having dropped out of medical school, he becomes a handyman. He marries Gillian Andrassy in 2000, but the two divorce the next year, and Gillian miscarries their baby in February 2001. For a time, Jake is believed to be the father of Liza Colby's daughter, Colby Chandler, though this is proven untrue. Jake becomes involved with Greenlee Smythe and falls in love with her. Greenlee falls in love with Jake too, but at the same time still loves Leo. After his relationship with Greenlee ends he becomes involved with Mia Saunders, but he eventually gets engaged to and marries fellow doctor Cara Castillo. He restarts his medical career before leaving Pine Valley in 2003. In August 2007, he calls his nephew, Jamie Martin, for help in Africa with AIDS patients. Months later, Jake Martin was being held hostage in Darfur and Zach Slater sent Aidan Devane to bring Jake back. Once out of harm's way, they returned safely to Pine Valley. Although Jake expressed plans to return to Sudan, big brother Tad convinced him to stay.
