Larry Wolek is a fictional character from the American soap opera One Life to Live, played for 35 years by actor Michael Storm.

[1][2][3] 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.

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.

[13] Meredith begins suffering from postpartum depression, and Larry soon calls in a favor to friend Dr. Joyce Brothers (playing herself) to treat his ailing wife.

Before dying, Meredith asks sister Victoria "Viki" Lord Riley (Erika Slezak) to tell Larry that he brought happiness to her life.

[16][17] Karen (Judith Light onward) soon becomes dissatisfied with her life as an upper middle class housewife, and surreptitiously supplements her husband's allowance by joining in upscale prostitution ring run by her con man ex-boyfriend Marco Dane (Gerald Anthony).

Happily married to the love of his life, Larry first learns of Karen's prostitution when she is coerced into admitting it on the stand when Viki is put on trial for Marco's apparent murder in 1979.

[21] Karen departs Llanview for witness protection in Canada in 1983 with agent Steve Piermont (Robert Desiderio), tearfully bidding farewell to Larry.

[8][9] Michael Storm's portrayal of Larry earned him a Daytime Emmy Award nomination in the category of Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 1978.
