Vincent Jones is a fictional character from the ABC Daytime soap opera One Life to Live. He was portrayed by Tobias Truvillion from April 11, 2006, to August 6, 2008.
Vincent arrives in fictional Llanview to continue the business of his recently deceased father's estate in 2006. A character with an unclear past, he soon finds in old friend in Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold). Natalie Buchanan (Melissa Archer) soon comes to Vincent in hopes he would continue investigating the murder of her boyfriend, John McBain (Michael Easton), aiding her and gaining a friend. Cristian Vega (David Fumero) also has ties with Vincent, who the aspiring boxer hires as his manager. Cristian does well in boxing matches until Vincent has a fight fixed between Cristian and an opponent, during which, Cristian damages his hand. Upon Cristian uncovering the truth, he fires Vincent.
Vincent dates aspiring actress Layla Williamson (Tika Sumpter), the sister of Cristian's girlfriend, attorney Evangeline Williamson (Renee Elise Goldsberry). Upon hearing of the fight fixing, Layla breaks up with Vincent, who asks to mercy to no avail. In the meantime, Vincent encounter old college friend and attorney Hugh Hughes (Josh Casaubon), who had been hired by Nora Hanen (Hillary B. Smith). Hugh is soon involved in a car accident with John McBain, leaving both severely burned and bandaged. John was presumed to have died in the accident and Hugh alive. During her grieving, Natalie kisses Vincent, telling him she thought the bandaged patient from the accident was John and she was looking for solace. Vincent tells who he assumes to be Hugh about the kiss, causing the patient severe agitation. After weeks of being unable to speak, the man says "I'm John McBain". A doubtful Vincent tells Natalie, who is ecstatic and attempted to prove Vincent right and reunite with John.
