Meredith Baxter Joins 'The Young and the Restless'

Meredith Baxter is joining the cast of CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless, according to TVGuide.com. She will play Maureen, "charming, intelligent, middle-class woman who has always aspired to a more privileged life than she's had. She appears kind and sympathetic, but can be quite manipulative. She is skilled at getting people to do the things she wants them to do by making them think it's their idea! When not hitting the sauce with her new drinking-buddy, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), Maureen will be crossing with several key players on the Y&R canvas."

Will Maureen turn out to be Kelly (Cady McClain) and Stitch's (Sean Carrigan) mother?

Baxter is best known for playing Elyse Keaton in NBC comedy Family Ties and Nancy Lawrence Maitland in the ABC drama Family, a role which earned her two Primetime Emmy nominations.

Baxter will make her first Y&R appearance on September 8.
