Andrea Evans makes her
triumphant return to "One Life To Live"!
As "One Life to Live" prepares to celebrate
its 40th Anniversary on ABC, Andrea Evans returns to play one of
daytime's most beloved bad girls, Tina Lord Roberts, starting in June. Ms.
Evans originated the role in 1978 and played the popular character until
1990. During that run she received an Emmy Award nomination for her
wonderfully devious portrayal. Tina's return to Llanview means the kind of
trouble only she can create and will open the door for another fan favorite
to return.
"For many
years, both fans of mine and 'One Life to Live' have wanted me to return to
the show, says Evans in a press release. "Now that the timing is right, I'm
thrilled to be returning to the role of Tina which I've always held near and
dear to my heart and I'm looking forward to working once again with all my
friends and 'family' at 'One Live to Live.'"
