Liza Huber, who played the onscreen daughter of Andrea Evans on Passions for several years, shared a very heartfelt tribute in light of her passing. Huber wrote, “I’m searching for the right words…
Searching for the right story to share or the right words to post that would convey how much Andrea Evans meant to me. What a spectacular human she was and what a tremendous impact she had on my life. The truth is, there are no words. I’m heartbroken and my heart aches for Steve and Kylie. Andrea was a powerhouse. She was a firecracker. She was warm, loving, generous, and wildly funny. We would talk for hours about life, family, love, parenting, work, and how to find the perfect light on set. She taught me so much about love and keeping my heart open. That’s when I found Alex. I have a million wonderful memories of this incredible woman. Andrea, I know you are up in heaven watching over your beautiful family illuminated by the most perfectly radiant light. You are a superstar in every way and will be greatly missed.“

Many would remember Huber and Evans playing the amusing mother-daughter duo of Gwen and Rebecca Hotchkiss, respectively, on Passions. Huber was an original cast member of the NBC daytime soap drama, making her debut in July 1999, and Evans later debuted in September 2000. Huber left the series in 2000 when she announced she was quitting acting to return to New York and be near her fiancé at the time. She later returned to Passions in 2002 and played the role of Gwen right up until the end of the series. In 2008, she retired from acting to spend time with her family.
Evans, who had an extensive soap career with roles on Passions, The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, and more, passed away after a battle with breast cancer at the age of 66. Our deepest condolences go to Andrea’s family and friends during this very difficult time. Rest in Peace, Andrea.
