One Life to Live Welcomes Back Andrea Evans

at .

As previously reported, One Life to Live will welcome back a special guest as the daytime drama prepares to mark its 40th anniversary:

In June, Andrea Evans will return as Tina Lord Roberts, the role for which she received a Daytime Emmy nod in 1990. As TV Guide reports, Tina's arrival not only will bring with it the trouble that typically follows Viki's half sister, but also will open the door for another fan favorite to resurface.

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

"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," Evans added in a statement.

Moreover, here are some One Life to Live spoilers/teasers from 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."
