Andrea Evans Goes Back to The Young and the Restless

[Brian Damage]

Longtime soap fave Andrea Evans is returning to The Young and the Restless but she won’t be playing Patty Williams, the role she did on the show back in 1983-84. That character is now a surgically altered wackadoo played by Stacy Haiduk. Instead, Evans will show up as Tawny Moore, the ballsy trailer-trash mama she created on The Bold and the Beautiful in 1999. Evans’ Y&R stint will last just one episode—airing May 12—but it sounds like a hoot. Tawny hits Genoa City looking for her daughter Amber (Adrienne Frantz) and will get into a bitch-brawl with Amber’s mother-in-law Phyllis (Michelle Stafford).

“It’ll be dueling redheads!” says Evans. “Tawny and Phyllis are both strong, confrontational women and their scenes together are so much fun. It was great being back on my old stomping grounds. This brings together all of my favorite jobs—Y&R, B&B and, in a way, One Life to Live. [Paul Rauch who was Evans’ boss during her golden years on OLTL is now exec producer of Y&R.] The only thing missing here is Passions!”

But Evans did have a Passions-like moment when she met the towering Haiduk on the set. “Not only did Patty have surgery to completely alter her face, she’s also an entire foot taller these days,” Evans notes with a laugh. “Apparently, if you want some really strange plastic surgery, Genoa City is the place to go!”
