Andrea Evans News

Following a six-month stint as Tina, Andrea Evans completed taping at One Life to Live last week.

"There was always an understanding that it would be short term," Evans told Soap Opera Digest. "I didn't know how this was going to affect my own personal life with having to do so much traveling, and I'm in a situation where I can't relocate."

The series released the following statement to dispel any rumors:

"ABC and One Life to Live were thrilled to have Andrea Evans reprise the role of Tina Lord after 18 years. Her return was made possible with the understanding that it would be short term as Ms. Evans' life, family and home are on the west coast. One Life to Live did not ask that she move across the country in order for her to return to the show."

The door is still open for Evans to return in the future.

Andrea Evans is back on One Life to Live!

Unfortunately, many long-time fans were disheartened to see her have just one brief scene with Viki at the airport.

But, don't worry, the actress told Michael Fairman that more are on the way:

When you returned for the 40th anniversary One Life to Live episodes you only had short scene with Viki at the airport. Many die-hard fans felt perhaps short changed. But I hear there are more Tina and Viki moments on the way!
There will be more Tina/Viki absolutely. I think Ron Carlivati tried to bring in a scene with us before Erika Slezak (Viki) left for her vacation. Between our two schedules… to get me their before the 40th anniversary, and her leaving on her vacation was challenging. He really struggled to find the opportunity for us to have any scenes at all under those circumstances. I promise you there will be a lot more to come.
