[edit] Character history

Spencer Truman was a brilliant doctor, but had come to Llanview, Pennsylvania with a secret agenda. His younger brother, David Vickers was furious to have his older brother back in his life. Paige Miller, Spencer's ex-wife was definitely not happy with his arrival in Llanview either.

Despite their concerns, Spencer did not plan on leaving Llanview anytime soon. However, Spencer was murdered on January 26, 2007. Before his death, Spencer developed a friendship with Blair Cramer (and later had an affair with her) after performing an operation on her son, Jack Manning that eventually saved his life. He also expressed interest in Blair's cousin Kelly Cramer. The two shared several dates. David and Paige were determined to keep Spencer away from the people that they loved.

[edit] Spencer's Criminal Behavior

Spencer framed Todd Manning for the murder of Margaret Cochran, who was still alive. Spencer had faked Margaret's death. Todd was sent to death row for Margaret's murder and was executed. However, Todd was brought back to life by Spencer when John McBain came into the room with the very much alive Margaret.

Meanwhile, Spencer had secretly delivered Margaret's baby, with help from his ex-wife, Paige. Spencer then kidnapped the baby and illegally gave him up for adoption. The baby was recently adopted by Michael McBain and his wife Marcie Walsh. Todd is the baby's biological father.

Spencer had murdered John and Michael McBain's father, Thomas McBain, 25 years earlier. (See Spencer Truman and the Murder of Thomas McBain for more plot details.)

Also, Spencer had a vendetta against Asa Buchanan. Spencer's dying mother told Spencer that Asa was his biological father. However, the results of a DNA test showed that Spencer was not Asa's son after all.

On New Year's Eve 2005, Spencer injected Kevin Buchanan with a virus that caused him to be unable to father children. Later that night, Spencer drugged Asa Buchanan.
