Reception

Daniel's controversial storyline was compared to former New Jersey Governor, James McGreevy, to which Headwriter Dena Higley attributed the character's inspiration. The portrayal of a homicidal gay character garnered backlash from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), who claimed it reinforced negative stereotypes. GLAAD had recently honored ''One Life to Live'' with a 2004 GLAAD Media Award for Mark Solomon's coming out storyline. The organization reached out directly to Executive Producer, Frank Valentini, who responded, "The anger is understandable, but everyone needs to watch all of it. This is a story about the harsher side of intolerance and about one man not being true to himself. There are going to be meaningful, frank discussions that come out of this." Higley added,"Daniel is not the first gay character on 'OLTL.' If he had been, I would have felt a different responsibility. But writing a political ambitious character who is deep in the closet and who murders as a result is something that hasn't been explored before on daytime." While some groups shared in GLAAD's criticism, such as ''TV Guide'', others were supportive. Hillary B. Smith, who played Daniel's wife Nora, explained that support groups such as Straight Spouse Network praised the story for bringing attention to those women who are dealing with their husbands identifying as gay.

When the serial killer known as the Music Box Killer begins terrorizing the university, Jessica and Dr. Haver investigate, with Haver and Rae acting as psychological profilers for the Llanview Police Department. Haver works closely with new Chief of Detectives John McBain, but no one is aware that Haver is actually the Music Box Killer.

The Music Box Killer strangles his victims, paints a teardrop on their faces, and leaves a music box by their bodies as a calling card. He sometimes targets women at random, such as private investigator Elyssa Collins or sorority girl Madison Kensington, but seems to focus on women who are either older and maternal, or promiscuous and involved in sex work, like Jennifer Rappaport or her friend Karen Reeder, a local prostitute. In reality, Haver is murdering women whom he identifies with his mother, a promiscuous, alcoholic dancer and folk singer from the " free love" era of the 1960s. For a time, Haver uses psychotic mental patient Troy MacIver as his alibi; as MacIver's therapist at St. Ann's Sanitarium, Haver releases the man from the institution at the times when he plans to kill. As the authorities get closer, Haver kills Gabrielle Medina, and nearly kills Sarah Roberts. Meanwhile, John McBain grows increasingly suspicious of Haver, who becomes his prime suspect in the case. Jessica angrily defends her teacher to McBain, but when she stumbles upon the truth, Haver is forced to take action. He kidnaps Jessica, and brainwashes her to conceal his crimes. In the meantime, Rae Cummings also deduces Haver's secret; he takes her hostage, forcing her to act out his twisted psychological ritual of posing as his mother before apparently strangling her and then immolating her isolated prison.

The LPD discovers Jessica's brainwashing and rehabilitates her, but they still have no actionable proof of Haver's guilt. As John McBain digs deeper into Haver's past, he discovers that Haver has actually posed as many serial killers in many different parts of the United States, changing methodology and modus operandi each time to avoid detection. John is shocked to learn that Haver was once the White Rose Killer, whom he had hunted unsuccessfully during his tenure with the FBI; and who had murdered McBain's fiancée, Caitlin Fitzgerald.

Trapped and growing desperate, Haver abducts Jessica's sister, Natalie Buchanan, to whom John has become romantically linked. In a stand-off with police, Haver straps a bomb to Natalie's body and threatens to kill her. Haver is shocked as Rae Cummings suddenly enters the room. She had survived his assault and had been kept in police protection. Taunting Haver with the memory of his mother, Rae manages to distract Haver long enough for the police to subdue him. While behind bars and awaiting trial, Haver is shot and killed by a rogue cop.

Miles Laurence

Miles Laurence is a fictional character from ABC's daytime drama ''One Life to Live''. He was portrayed by David Chisum from February 12, 2007, to April 22, 2008.

The deceased Spencer Truman leaves his estate to the mysterious Miles Laurence in 2007. Miles is a former patient whose face had been horribly disfigured. As an infant, Miles had been given up to a local hospital by his father upon seeing the extent of his deformities. Years later, Spencer restored Miles' face and gained Miles' friendship and loyalty. The soft-spoken Miles defends Spencer, the only friend he has ever had, to the many residents of Llanview who rightfully hate him. Miles' loyalty to Spencer makes him an enemy of Spencer's nemesis, Todd Manning.

Miles soon reveals to Jessica Buchanan that he is the brother of Mitch Laurence, Jessica's supposed biological father, and Walker Laurence. To help integrate himself into society, Miles sees psychiatrist Marty Saybrooke; he soon falls for her. Marty relinquishes him as a patient so that they can be friends, but makes it clear to Miles that she has no romantic interest in him.

Intensely sheltered with a skewed view of the world and morality, Miles is determined to "make" Marty love him. Miles arranges for three men to attack Marty so that he can come to her rescue, and he later blackmails her into marrying him with her taped confession to Spencer's murder. After Todd is stabbed and kidnapped, it is revealed that Miles had paid a young man named Hunter Atwood to do the deed, both to protect Spencer's secret (that Todd's son with Margaret Cochran was adopted by Michael and Marcie McBain) and to make Todd pay for his vicious rape of Marty years before. When Hunter leaves an unconscious Todd on his doorstep, Miles hides Todd in a storage room and then dumps him outside, but not before Marty's son Cole Thornhart discovers him. Miles compels Cole to keep his secret to protect Marty from arrest for Spencer's murder, but Cole and Marty soon admit what they know to the police. Miles is arrested, and Todd is later found alive.

Miles gains an unlikely friend in Natalie Buchanan, who sympathizes with his outcast status and his naiveté. Natalie stays by Miles' side as he faces charges for his blackmail and coercion of Marty. Miles publicly admits his wrongdoing and apologizes to Marty. Todd, however, is outraged that Miles is not charged for his assault and abduction. When Miles learns that Tommy McBain is Todd's missing son, he tells Todd, inciting a fierce custody battle between Todd and the McBains.

Miles becomes good friends with Roxy Balsom as the two perform community service together. When Marty and Cole go missing in November 2007, Miles is initially a suspect but is quickly cleared. Miles is devastated to hear that Marty has been killed in an explosion. On the docks, Miles stumbles upon a distraught Cole holding a gun to FBI agent Lee Ramsey, whom Cole blames for his mother's death. Cole accidentally shoots Miles, who falls into the water. Cole and Ramsey panic and flee the scene as Detective John McBain, also present at the scene, dives into the water to rescue Miles.

Miles is rushed to the hospital. Natalie is notified and arrives to see Miles off as he is rushed into surgery. While in recovery, Roxy declares her love to a sedated Miles. After the surgery, Miles was soon dropped off the canvas and has not been seen or heard from since.

Victor spent the next eight years living in Llanview as Todd Manning. In August 2011, it is revealed that he is really Todd's twin brother who had actually been brainwashed into believing he was truly Todd Manning.

As Todd, Victor quickly made an enemy in police detective John McBain, and even had his own son, after being raped by Margaret Cochran. Victor was also very protective of Sam and his "children", but sometimes his good intentions resulted in tragic accidents that he was blamed for. Victor was aggressive and prone to outbursts, which would sometimes backfire on him. Tea Delgado, Todd's ex, proved to be the love of Victor's life and they got married. Victor not being Todd was alluded to when Tea, suffering from drugs that made her believe she had a brain tumor, pointed at a photograph of her and Todd, and declared that Victor wasn't Todd.

In May 2011, the real Todd Manning arrives in Llanview with his "old face", after escaping from the top secret CIA facility where he had been held captive for the last eight years. He is unable to prove to everyone that he is the real Todd Manning, causing chaos and confusion, shaking his family to its core. DNA tests on both come back positive when aligned with an untainted sample on file from Marty Saybrooke's rape kit.

The truth comes out when John McBain, Brody Lovett and Tomás Delgado raid the CIA facility and discover Todd's presumed-dead mother, Irene Manning as the head of the rogue CIA agency. Back in Llanview, Irene confirms that the man with the scar is Todd Manning, and the other who had been living there as Todd, is really Victor Lord Jr. In 2003, Irene had ordered a hit on the real Todd Manning to keep him from exposing the agency. She had Todd strapped to a chair and made him uncover every detail of his life. She originally gave Victor, Todd's trademark scar, but then had Victor's face altered with reconstructive surgery to make him look like Mitch Laurence's long lost brother Flynn Walker Laurence. Irene then sent Victor away in Todd's place, so that he could get his share of the inheritance as Victor Lord Sr.'s heir, and unknowingly help the agency. She kept the real Todd locked up, instead of following through with the original plan to kill him. In March 2011, Irene ordered a hit on Victor, then still believing he was Todd Manning. He was shot in the stomach by a sniper after refusing to do more dirty work and went into a coma.

The day after the truth is revealed, and Victor gains acceptance from his family, Victor is supposedly shot dead by an unknown assailant, and is shown dying from his injuries with his wife, Téa Delgado, at his side.

In April 2013, Victor reappears in Llanview after Danielle overdoses on oxycontin at the opening of Blair's new nightclub, ''Shelter''. After Todd lambasts Téa for he failure to see Danielle's troubled behavior, Victor arrives and begins to assault Todd at the hospital. Tea, Dani, Jack, and Sam were thrilled to have Victor back in their lives. Victor learned from Tea that they had a stillborn son that Todd had switched with another baby. Victor was angry at Todd for causing Tea so much pain, so he took revenge by poisoning Todd's supply of alcohol. Todd approached Victor with a truce and Victor accepted, so he replaced the tainted alcohol in Todd's room with a new untainted one. Soon after, Victor announced that he had to leave town to keep Tea and he kids safety. On his way out, he stopped by to see Todd and told him that had to leave town, and asked Todd to keep their family safe as well. Todd blasted Victor for leaving and breaking the kids' hearts all over again, and Victor punched Todd in the throat, grabbed him by the throat and choked him unconscious, and told him that he had poisoned him, before leaving.

Once Victor's crimes were exposed, the police wanted to bring in him. Tea, who Victor had been e-mailing, agreed to help them find Victor, believing he would be safer in jail then on the run. However, Todd wanted payback and planned to kill Victor. Todd's guy tracked him down to a hotel near a place Tea and he only knew, where she and Todd found Todd's guy dead.
