In 2010, One Life To Live's Evangeline Williamson (Renee Elise Goldsberry) was taken off life support and passed away. She had lingered in a coma since 2007, when Goldsberry left the show. Her sister, Layla Williamson, and Layla's husband-to-be, Cristian Vega, had traveled to Baltimore to share the news of their engagement with Layla's mother, and they learned that Evangeline had been rehospitalized and was being kept alive by machines. When the family learned that Evangeline had signed a living will, indicating she did not want to be sustained by artificial means, her mother made the decision to turn the life support system off.
