Tina Lord is a fictional character from the American daytime soap opera One Life to Live, originally and last played by Andrea Evans. The character is the daughter of original series patriarch Victor Lord, and sister to long-running characters Victoria Lord and Todd Manning.
The role was originated in 1978 by actress Andrea Evans, whose first stint lasted until 1981. The character was recast with Kelli Maroney in 1984 and then with Marsha Clark in 1985. Evans returned in 1985, in a storyline credited with putting the series "back on course" and ultimately bringing Tina to her height of popularity. Evans appeared on the cover of Soap Opera Digest five times — once every year from 1986 to 1990 — and People magazine called her "Daytime's Diva of Dirt" in 1985. The series itself rose from #5 in the Nielsen ratings in the 1984 to 1985 season to #4 in the following season, soon going to #3 the next year, where it remained until the 1989 to 1990 season. In 1985, then-Executive Producer Paul Rauch noted of Evans, "She makes a tremendous difference to our show ... Her ability makes her go beyond the ordinary viper. In large part, she's responsible for the show's recent success." In 1988 Evans was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Ingenue for the role; she left the series in January 1990.
Tina was recast again on May 10, 1990, with former Playboy Playmate Karen Witter, who was nominated for a Soap Opera Digest Award in 1991 for Outstanding Female Newcomer and played the part for four years until February 14, 1994. Witter was succeeded in the role on July 6, 1994 by Krista Tesreau, known for her Daytime Emmy-nominated portrayal of "Tina twin" Mindy Lewis on CBS' Guiding Light from 1983 to 1989. "Whirling dervish" Tina was written off the show on June 12, 1996; Tesreau reappeared briefly in September and on December 24, 1996, and finally from January 21 to January 24, 1997, to facilitate the departure of John Loprieno (who played Tina's ex-husband, Cord Roberts).
