After a series of spats with Evangeline concerning her focus on legal work and her closeness with Police Lieutenant [[John McBain (One Life to Live)|John McBain]], the two eventually split. Also during this time, Evangeline developed a budding friendship with R.J.'s former sister-in-law, [[Nora Hanen|Nora Buchanan]].

After the breakup, Evangeline pursues an interracial relationship with John McBain. The two vow not to become serious about each other, but Evangeline soon falls in love with John. The relationship lasts for about a year, but ends as John continues his obsession with bringing to justice the man that killed his father many years before. John then resumes his former relationship with [[Natalie Buchanan]].

After the breakup, Evangeline pursued a relationship with John McBain (''One Life to Live'' was the first soap opera to delve into interracial relationships in the 1970s). The two entered relationship vowing not to become serious, but Evangeline soon fell in love with John. The relationship lasted for about a year and ended when he was unable to rid himself of the demons that continue to haunt him (his desire to bring to justice the man that killed his father). John was then pursued by [[Natalie Buchanan]].
Williamson later helps Natalie's ex-husband [[Cristian Vega]] appeal his conviction for the murder of [[Tico Santi]]. Cristian is ultimately released, and soon he and Evangeline begin a romantic relationship. Evangeline also becomes close friends with [[Todd Manning]] after representing him in the [[Margaret Cochran]] murder trial, and after she is blinded during a tornado, Todd arranges for a specialist to perform the delicate surgery that eventually restores her eyesight. Cristian and Todd clash over their mutual interest in Evangeline; though acknowledging the attraction between them, Evangeline refuses Todd's romantic advances because of her involvement with Cristian. She and Cristian discuss marriage and having children, but their relationship ends after, in an emotional moment, Evangeline and Todd kiss while in an elevator together.


Evangeline does not manage to reconcile with Cristian (or pursue a relationship with Todd) before she is the victim of a racially-motivated attack by a member of the [[White supremacy|White supremacist]] group "One Pure People" in 2007. Evangeline survives, but remains in a coma.


Williamson later appealed the conviction of Natalie's ex-husband, [[Cristian Vega]], for the murder of [[Adriana Cramer]]'s half-brother, [[Tico Santi]], and got him released. Soon afterwards, Cristian and Evangeline began to develop feelings for each other and became lovers. Cristian and Evangeline have broken up due to a kiss shared between Evangeline and [[Todd Manning]].
