Destiny Evans is a fictional character from the American soap opera One Life to Live.
The role of Destiny was originated by actress Shenell Edmonds onscreen February 27, 2009. Edmonds' Destiny was upgraded from a recurring, supporting role to a cast regular in May 2010, remaining in such a capacity until the original OLTL finale on ABC Daytime January 13, 2012.
When Prospect Park resumed production of the series in January 2013, Shenell Edmonds was unavailable to reprise her role due to her school schedule. The character was subsequently recast to newcomer Laura Harrier, who stepped into the role when new daily episodes of OLTL debuted on Hulu, iTunes, and FX Canada via The Online Network April 29, 2013.
Destiny Evans (Edmonds) first appears as budding friend to Llanview High School classmate Matthew Buchanan (Eddie Alderson) in February 2009. She soon develops a crush on Matthew, who was the subject of bullying at the time. After an incident where he is embarrassed at a school dance, an angry Matthew gets into a car with a high Cole who drives and causes a car crash which leaves him paralyzed. In the wake of the accident, Destiny becomes Matthew's confidante. Meanwhile, Destiny soon interrogates protective older brother Shaun (Sean Ringgold) on the whereabouts of their miracle-worker surgeon and brother Dr. Greg Evans with the hopes he could help Matthew, but Shaun rebuffs her requests.
In June 2009, Dr. Evans (Terrell Tilford) arrives in fictional Llanview after Matthew and Destiny press Matthew's uncle Clint (Jerry verDorn) to pay for the consultation and treatment. When Bo (Robert S. Woods) and Nora Buchanan (Hillary B. Smith) refuse to authorize Dr. Evans to perform risky spinal surgery on minor Matthew, Destiny convinces Matthew to hire known firebrand attorney Téa Delgado (Florencia Lozano) to sue for the right to pursue the surgery. Destiny is elated when Matthew wins in court, but the two are then perturbed when a weary Greg refuses to perform the operation. Matthew finds another surgeon in Seattle, so reluctant parents Bo and Nora trick Matthew into using a Buchanan private jet believing he was flying to surgery, with all of them going instead to London. Destiny, tending to a wounded Shaun at Llanview Hospital, attempted to contact Matthew to no avail.
