The Martins

The Martins have been the corner stone of Pine Valley since All My Children’s inception in 1970. Even before Joe Martin married Ruth Brent, Kate Martin was a symbol of stability and strong family values. Nowadays, Joe spends his days balancing his responsibilities as Chief of Staff at Pine Valley Hospital, and the tumultuous love lives of his many children and grandchildren.


Joe and Ruth's marriage is Pine Valley's longest lasting union.
