Spencer Truman is a fictional character from the soap opera One Life to Live. He was played by Paul Satterfield from May 25, 2005, to January 30, 2007. Satterfield has reprised the role in the form of a ghost through characters Miles Laurence and John McBain, several times in 2007. Austin Williams played a young Spencer in a 2008 storyline in which the characters Bo and Rex find themselves 1968.
Brilliant Dr. Spencer Truman comes to Llanview, Pennsylvania, in 2005; his younger brother David Vickers and ex-wife Dr. Paige Miller are inexplicably furious to have him back in their lives. In some way "wronged" by Spencer in the past, they are determined to find a way to keep him away from those they love and get him out of town. The somewhat sinister Spencer makes it clear he is not going anywhere.
Spencer performs an operation on young Jack Manning that saves the boy's life; Spencer befriends Jack's mother Blair Cramer, and the two soon become romantically involved. Blair, however, is still emotionally wrapped up with her bastard ex-husband, Todd Manning. Obsessed with winning Blair's love for himself, Spencer frames Todd for the murder of Margaret Cochran. Throughout Todd's grueling murder trial, Spencer finally makes Blair question Todd's innocence and seduces her. Todd is convicted of murder and sent to death row; he is actually executed and declared dead when Police Detective John McBain appears with the very much alive Margaret. Spencer manages to revive Todd. In addition to faking Margaret's death, Spencer had secretly delivered her son, whose biological father is Todd. Spencer blackmails Paige into helping him and keeping the secret. Spencer had murdered John and Dr. Michael McBain's father, Thomas McBain, 25 years earlier and had managed to convince both David and Paige that they had been complicit. Spencer puts Todd and Margaret's baby up for adoption, and the boy ends up with Michael McBain and his wife Marcie Walsh, who are unaware of his origins.
