She originally left because a stalker was threatening her. I think this is
why she never came back, despite having enjoyed playing the role.

They were both in and out so quick that you didn't really miss
anything. From what I vaguely remember is that Kelli Maroney's Tina
was as dumb as rocks, in that vapid cheerleader sort of way. A real
interchangable "blond type" who viewers immediately rejected as Tina.
She was there for about six months (reportedly quitting because Paul
Rauch kept making passes at her.) Marsha Clark replaced her at years
end, but if you blinked you missed her. She was only there for about a
month or two. Very un_Tina-like. Sophisticated and composed. In Feb.
'85, the show managed to lure back Evans, who knew how to play the part
right.
*sigh*
It's a shame that TPTB don't value the character enough to recognize
how incomplete the show is without her presence!
I too am very spotty on OLTL, its been years since I really paid any
attention to it. I have enough trouble sitting still for GH, but I remember
a Tina, bottle blonde, really cute again in the ditzy blonde cheerleader
type. But I cannot for the life of me figure out who played her then---she
had two small children with Cort, both blonde and small---about 4-7 years
old. I looked at all the people they have listed as playing Tina and none of
them was the Tina I remember--they have the history as:
Andrea Evans (1978 to 1981, 1985 to 1990)
Nancy Frangione (1980; temporary)
Kelli Maroney (1984 to 1985)
Marsha Clark (1985)
Karen Witter (1990 to 1994)
Krista Tesreau (1994 to 1997)
But I looked at all of them and none of them match the Tina I recall. Did
someone else play her that they didn't list?
Thanks!

And I just answered my own question. It was Krista Tesreau---she's
changed!!! :) I thought she was a pretty good Tina.

Dena Higley seems to be deliberately not returning her. I think
they're scared to cast another actress to play the role and in the
meantime are waiting on AE to finally agree to come back. Stupid
really. Meanwhile as more years past since the last time Tina was in
town, her necessity becomes less and less.
Remember, we're talking about the same idiots in charge who
killed off Gabrielle, killed and un-killed Al/Michael, sent
Max off into nowhere, did the Colson-is-gay train wreck....
Need I go on?
Nyssa, who wonders how some people keep their jobs
I liked her portrayal of Tina, but favor Andrea Evans out of all the
others.
No, you were right the first time! Krista Tesreau played the Tina who
willingly slept with the guy she thought was her brother.
--S.
As I was reading your original post I thought clearly you were talking about
Krista Tesreau. ... How is it you think she's changed? <G> Curious, you know

Maroney played Tina when the character was re-introduced after
Andrea Evans' first departure. It was very brief. My vague
recollection of her was being 'spunky' and wearing Junior-league
type suits, when she was an assistant to Asa. Clark I can't even
remember.
