@ConversationChamber Both Karen and Andrea played Tina as making mistakes, but having a big heart, and being vulnerable - Tina had become a lot softer in Andrea's last year and Karen kept that up. The first problem was when Tina just became a supporting player to the Cain sideshow, but it didn't get really bad until Krista and then when the Lord family was dismantled to prop Todd 24/7. Tina became irrelevant.
Took some time but This version of Tina grew on me. Evans was definitely a tough act to follow and will 4ever be THE TINA hands down. But I did fall for this Tina and Cain! They were fun to watch. Now that next Tina, the one from Guiding Light....Blah😕
I remember watching this in Kindergarten. My mom was shocked when there was a new Tina. She wasn’t the original but was really good. Andrea was best but Karen was a bit of a 10. 👍🥵
I grew to like Karen as Tina, didn't think that was possible after Andrea. I thought her and Cain were a cute couple, but Andrea was the best Tina. No others compare. And Cord, oh my god. I had the hugest crush on his cute self!
I look back, as I was watching the show as far back as 1980, and I will admit I was very sad when Andrea Evans left the show. "La Evans" was going to be a tough act to follow; because she had been on the show, was it maybe six years up until that point? You grew so fond of her, and everything she had done up until that point. But Karen Witter, she did a nice job too. She got kudos as the recast, I know in Digest, they gave her a lot of support. I feel Witter actually worked out, sustained the legacy of Tina. I remembered shortly after, James DePaiva (Max), Fiona Hutchinson (Gabrielle) and Jessica Tuck (Megan), Joe Lando (Jake) and Jon Loprieno (Cord) left...and they were all such epic characters in their right; and pretty much the Llanview thirtysomething, each from core families...so I feel that always had an impact on my view of the show.
Totally agree Timothy, she actually came back, I think 2008, or 2009, and that got me started watching ONE LIFE again until the last broadcast (and then I watched the internet version). I had grown so fond of the canvas of characters and the nods to history - even though a lot of the epic history was retooled for story line purposes - that I wasn't too fond of.
Definitely felt bad when Robin Strasser left the program, my memories of her went back further than Andrea Evans. I only remembered Andrea Evans when she came back to the show in 1984. But again, Robin returned years later. Otherwise, I appreciated Elaine Princi, really I did.
Erik Andrus Elaine was very good too in the role she could have passed as a sister for Dorian. I did see an old clip from before Robin first came to the show and Claire Malis was in the role and then before her the first person to play Dorian was Nancy Pinkerton. She was really mean and evil, lol.
Yeah same with the old bearded guy that was Asa's butler. Then I think Nigel came along. Come to think of it, that first guy might've been Nigel's father?
Despite Viki's fake smiles and false greetings, Viki is _PISSED_ that Tina is back. And Cord is indignant, especially now that he has to once again share CJ with Tina. And Tina has an agenda she's keeping well-hidden behind her false excuse of "just dropping in to see CJ again," mainly getting Cord back and getting revenge on Gabrielle.
This scene made no sense. Why the hell is Tina apologizes to Cord for showing up to HER home? She has more right to be there than he does. I also found it to be stupid that everyone referred to the house as Vicky's. Victor Lord built the house for all of his children and that includes Tina. It's her house just as much as Vicky's because they are both his heirs.
It was hard for me when Andrea Evans left and Karen Writter took over the role. Her clothes always looked to big for her :-). However, I did like her. I thgt she turned out to be a better recast than any others on oltl.
Vicky becoming mayor was a joke.😆 One of her personalities was mayor the others a dude street walker a librarian....I loved the bat shit crazy soaps of yesteryear.🦇 😁
that's not why it wasn't working--they stopped writing for her b/c the DID storyline ended. John Loproeno wanted to play out the romance again with tesreau. He and witter could not get along.
And I hated how she said her lines. She was very green on this show. I think aside from bit parts in movies this was her first real acting job and she never captured who Tina was. Andrea played Tina as a vixen who was flighty but a born schemer. Karen played her as an airhead. But she was a tad better than Krista Tesreau who was playing Mindy on OLTL instead of Tina Lord Roberts.
Nobody played Tina Clayton Lord Roberts et al, like THEE Andrea Fucking Evans! Periodt. All the others were trash. Especially Karen Witter. I stopped watching after she came on cause I couldn’t stand seeing anyone play that role other than AE! 😒
John Loprieno made those comments himself in a Soap Opera digest interview. Also, if you look at scenes with him and witter before he left then before she left you cna see that there is tension between the two of them. Witter was just rotten in the role
I remember reading that he was ready to leave the show and she came on super excited because she never been on a SOAP before. She thought he lack of enthusiasm was about not liking her and so they clashed. But I think John also missed Andrea Evans b/c they were friends. But he was not up for playing another round of falling for Tina's lies and games. I do get that but that is also on him because he knew who/what she was when he pursued and married her.
What Mooki said is much more accurate than anything Mr Delidude posts on RUclips. Loprieno leaving had nothing to do with "hating" Karen Witter. (Let's not forget, he returned 9 months later to be front & center in a Cord-Tina-Cain triangle with her.) The man needed a break from Cord Roberts and OLTL, and he took it.

I perfer Andrea Evans as Tina.

Cain sucks

3:27..."Cord and I have a real mature relationship now..."
🙄🤣🙄🤣🙄🤣🙄🤣🙄🤣

Fortunately we got to see Andrea again in 2011 before OLTL went off the air. She looks better than ever!

Now Dorian was always my favorite character along with Tina. I remember watching the show since the early 80s.

I honestly don't have to many memories of the original actress who played Tina, i started watching in around 1990 ..
Kim just disappeared cause I don't remember her ever leaving the show
Yeah same with the old bearded guy that was Asa's butler. Then I think Nigel came along. Come to think of it, that first guy might've been Nigel's father?

I liked Karen Witter as Tina. I thought she did a good job after Andrea Evans left.
Agreed

Goes back to Max Holden in '87 talking about her groveling to Cord.
The best Tina recast, hands down... No Kelli Maroney, Marsha Clark, or Krista Tesreau!
Weird thst Witter is 5'6 and Evans 5'5, yet Witter seemed a lot taller. Maybe camera angles.
It was hard for me when Andrea Evans left and Karen Writter took over the role. Her clothes always looked to big for her :-). However, I did like her. I thgt she turned out to be a better recast than any others on oltl.
THAT NOT TINA ANDREA EVANS IS THE REAL DAMN TINA
Hush. There is no "real damn Tina." She's a fictional character, created by writers and played by whoever they had cast in the role at that moment.
Tina! Manipulating Cord again! ROFL! Oh I can stay at a hotel. ROFL!
The funny thing about Tina and Cord is that she is his step-aunt by marriage.
I forgot that someone else played the role of Tina. Andrea was the best at it.
I remember Kim. I liked her. Wasn't she Jessica's nanny too?
The best recast of Tina was Karen Witter. Marcia Clark, Kelli Maroney, and Krista Tesrau (spelling?) we’re not good.
Cord is so full of himself and so arrogant.
🙄🤣🙄🤣🙄🤣🙄🤣
I didn't think there was a "d". I thought the name was Llanview. I always thought of her a little wimpy Tina
Cord, stop being a noisy magpie.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Vicky becoming mayor was a joke.😆 One of her personalities was mayor the others a dude street walker a librarian....I loved the bat shit crazy soaps of yesteryear.🦇 😁

I miss Vicki and Cord and OLTL. But not this new-Tina . Andrea Evans was the best.
Witter's Tina was way too silly.
And I hated how she said her lines. She was very green on this show. I think aside from bit parts in movies this was her first real acting job and she never captured who Tina was. Andrea played Tina as a vixen who was flighty but a born schemer. Karen played her as an airhead.

That's not Tina 😠
Shouldn't this thumbnail be titled "Cheap Tina knock off returns to Llanview"
nope
The fake Tina arrives
Never like the new Tina😊
i didnt like this tina--i liked krista tesreau better
I have also seen Delidude's unstable tirades against Witter all over RUclips. Honestly, I actually started to wonder if he was AE's stalker.
@beverly ledbetter You have some very strict height limits! At a towering 5'6, Witter is exactly one inch taller than Andrea Evans.
God no that Tina recast was the absolute worse
I agree. I liked Krista Tesreau better as Tina, then Karen the stripper Witter
