Following a six-month stint as Tina, Andrea Evans completed taping at One Life to Live last week.

"There was always an understanding that it would be short term," Evans told Soap Opera Digest. "I didn't know how this was going to affect my own personal life with having to do so much traveling, and I'm in a situation where I can't relocate."

The series released the following statement to dispel any rumors:

"ABC and One Life to Live were thrilled to have Andrea Evans reprise the role of Tina Lord after 18 years. Her return was made possible with the understanding that it would be short term as Ms. Evans' life, family and home are on the west coast. One Life to Live did not ask that she move across the country in order for her to return to the show."

The door is still open for Evans to return in the future.
