Miles Laurence is played by David Chisum in One Life to Live. On his deathbed, Dr. Spencer Truman named Miles Laurence his heir of his estate. The old doctor became fond of Miles, his former patient whose face was horribly disfigured. After restoring Miles's face, Miles became his close and loyal friend. Because of this relationship, Miles became an enemy of Todd Manning, Spencer's nemesis. Miles then revealed to Jessica Buchanan that he is her uncle, as he is the brother of her father, Mitch Laurence. Miles then went to psychiatrist Marty Saybrooke and soon fell in love with her.
