If you happen to be a daytime TV fan, your world is about to be shattered.
One of the more accomplished daytime TV actresses, Andrea Evans, has passed away.
She was only 66 years old.
Always Cancer
Evans passed away earlier this week, reportedly from complications from her battle with cancer.
Some of her former castmates expressed their condolences on social media.
Frank Valentini, the former executive producer of One Life to Live and current EP of General Hospital, stated, “I am so sorry to learn of Andrea Evans’ passing. Andrea was already a huge star when my career began at OLTL.
“She was always kind, gracious, and so fun to work with. A daytime legend who will be missed very much. My sympathies to her friends and family.”
“Passions” co-star Eric Martsolf added, “We lost Andrea Evans.
“I will miss the sparkle in her eyes when she smiled, which was seemingly all the time. Rest in peace Andrea, and thank you for all you gave.”
Evans had a brief gig on “The Young and the Restless,” but she made a name for herself playing Tina Lord on “One Life to Live.”
In all, she filmed 136 episodes of the show, as well as receiving a nomination for a Daytime Emmy Award.
She was also on “The Bold and Beautiful,” appearing in 152 episodes.
Her longest-running show, however, was “Passions,” where she appeared in 627 episodes as Rebecca Hotchkiss.
The final credit on her profile was “The Bay,” which was on TV from 2017 to 2020.
