One Life to Live will welcome back to its canvas a most special guest as the ABC serial prepares to mark its 40th anniversary: Come June, Andrea Evans will return as Tina Lord Roberts, the role for which she received a Daytime Emmy nod in 1990. Tina's arrival not only will bring with it the trouble that typically follows Viki's half sis, but also will open the door for another fan favorite to resurface. Hmmm....

"Even though Andrea has not appeared on OLTL since 1990, she has remained among the most requested characters to return to the show," says exec producer Frank Valentini. "I welcome her home to OLTL and to the role where she made an indelible mark on our audience."

Says Evans in her own statement, "For many years, both fans of mine and One Life to Live have wanted me to return. 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."

Some teasers from the folks at ABC:

• "Tina has endured a life-altering experience and will have a mysterious connection to one of Llanview's most powerful citizens."

• "Upon her return, Tina will first cross paths with her sister Viki and her brother Todd. Her appearance in town will spark a major story that will take place throughout the summer."

i was a baby when Tina left the show (and nobody in my family watched OLTL) so it'll be good to get to know her.

Was she that chick that had those bags around her eyes all the time?

Oh yes it is. Thank you for posting that Brian. Much appreciated. I couldn't help but wonder why she was so blessed to be so beautiful, yet have those awful bags underneath her eyes all the time.

I can't wait for her to return! She's a legendary figure in OLTL history and thank goodness the original is returning. I'm really excited for the show's 40th anniversary in July. I hear that the folks behind the scenes are planning some really special things.

I am so happy to hear this! :D

Andrea Evans is one of my all-time favorite soap opera stars, and she is my all-time favorite from OLTL.
