## Storylines

Larry stumbled around the mansion drunk, but it was all a ruse. Larry is working with Jerry and Fluke. He tried to persuade Tracy and Ned to usurp Michael Corinthos so Tracy could take control of ELQ. Soon after, Michael arrived at the mansion and announced that he was officially changing his name to Michael Quartermaine because of Michael siding in with Epiphany Johnson wanting justice for her dead son Stan. Larry was indignant at how rude Michael was to him and was disappointed that Ned didn't defend him. Later, Patrick Drake and Sam McCall overheard Larry talking with Jerry on the phone. They realized that Larry is working with Jerry before the arrival of Kyle Sloane.

Patrick and Sam broke into Larry's safety deposit box and discovered a photo of Cesar Faison and a flash drive containing plans to make a high tech WSB mask. Larry was stunned when Alexis Davis walked into the Quartermaine mansion with the real Luke Spencer. However, the real Luke is being held captive elsewhere and Fluke is pretending to be the saved one. On December 1, Larry fled town in order to evade the police and was later replaced by his new friend Kyle Sloane who later became commissioner filling the void Larry left behind after Michael committed obstruction of justice.

On March 23, 2017; Larry returned to Port Charles and was seen with his son Ned and his ex-wife Tracy at the same time that Olivia Jerome who is the culprit of the murder of Michael's brother Morgan Corinthos and the kidnapping of Robin Scorpio-Drake.

On April 26, 2021; Brook Lynn calls her grandfather Larry to ask about acquiring a baby as she is faking a pregnancy after Jason Morgan was framed for Franco Baldwin's murder after Mayor Lomax resigned and Cyrus Renault who bores an uncanny resemblance to the late Cesar Faison and Peter August working together to get revenge for his late father.
