Larry Wolek is a fictional character from the American soap opera One Life to Live, played for 35 years by actor Michael Storm. Storm is the second longest running cast member of the ABC Daytime production after actress Erika Slezak (Victoria Lord), and he briefly crossed over in the role on premiere episodes of All My Children in 1970. The character is one of the lead protagonists and the youngest member of the Wolek family introduced in the July 15, 1968, television pilot, continually appearing until May 28, 2004. Casting The role of Larry was originally played by Paul Tulley, who appears from the debut of the series in July 1968 through episodes in August of that year. Actor Jim Storm soon assumed the role in August, playing Larry through December 1968 (he accepted a role on fellow ABC soap Dark Shadows a year and a half after leaving One Life to Live). Jim Storm recommended to showrunners that his brother Michael Storm replace him as Larry, for which Michael was hired and appeared as the character from January 1969 onward through his (and its) last onscreen appearance opposite actor Philip Carey (Asa Buchanan) on the episode aired May 28, 2004. Storylines Enter Larry The younger brother of Anna (Doris Belack) and Vince Wolek (Antony Ponzini), Dr. Larry Wolek (Paul Tulley) is introduced as the boyfriend of rich socialite Meredith Lord (Trish Van Devere), a match which Meredith's father, media magnate Victor Lord (Ernest Graves), does not approve. In July 1968, Victor pushes Meredith into an engagement with the more socially acceptable Dr. Ted Hale (Terry Logan). Meredith's engagement to Ted ends when he stumbles down a Llanview Hospital staircase to his death while arguing with Larry. Nurse Karen Martin (Niki Flacks) tells police she overheard Larry and Ted arguing over Meredith and Larry threatening Ted, and Larry is arrested for murder. Larry (Jim Storm) stands trial for the death and is nearly convicted until a revelation in court that Larry threatened Ted to keep secret Meredith suffered from a terminal blood disease and, ultimately, that Ted had fallen by accident. In December, Larry is released from incarceration and hopes to spend with Meredith, but she learns the truth and leaves Llanview for San Francisco to die with her maternal family. Meredith leaves Larry a Dear John letter dissuading him for loving her and advising him to move on. A
