The news of Andrea Evans’ passing, he remarked, “deeply saddens me.” “Andrea was already a big star when I started at OLTL,” he continued.
She was a delight to work with and always kind and helpful. An important figure in the midday. I send my sympathies to her friends and family.

Outside of daytime drama, Andrea’s other notable television roles include Rebecca Hotchkiss on Passions and Patty Walker on The Bay.
She furthermore had appearances in the motion pictures and television programs Hit List, Ice Cream Man, and A Low Down Dirty Shame. Andrea left One Life to Live in the 1990s to take a break from acting, and she went forgotten for a long time.
She revealed to the publication in 2008 that a traumatic encounter with a stalker motivated her to withdraw from the spotlight. She admitted, “It’s changed me forever.” No way could it not, I said.
On One Life to Live that same year, the well-liked actress returned to the role of Tina.
Her reappearance was eagerly awaited; Executive Producer Valentini told TV Guide in 2008 that fans had been anticipating her arrival for a long time.
Even though Andrea hasn’t appeared on OLTL since 1990, he claimed that she is still one of the most often requested characters to do so.
“I’m glad to see her back at OLTL and in the role where she first made an impact on our audience,” I said.
She was married to Stephen Rodriguez in 1998, and they had a daughter named Kylie. She wed Wayne Massey, a co-star on One Life to Live, between 1981 and 1983.
