"The Young and the Restless" Welcomes Back Beth Maitland
May 10, 2011
by Michael Logan

Somebody call the Vatican, because there's a freakin' miracle happening on "The Young and the Restless"!

On May 11, Beth Maitland will once again return to the soap as Traci Abbott — earth mama, moral compass, the very soul of Genoa City — and this time she'll be mixed up in the big Abby Newman (Marcy Rylan) drama.

Though Maitland won "Y&R's" very first acting Emmy back in 1985, the beloved actress fell out of favor with some of the past producing teams and, for a while, was only showing up for weddings and funerals.

Then she wasn't seen on the show for two full years.

Thankfully, the current powers adore Maitland and keep finding cool ways to bring her back — no small thing in an era where so many of our great suds vets are considered as disposable as Handi Wipes.

"When Beth shows up on our set, it tells me that the folks who run our show do indeed know the importance of heart and remember the value of family," notes Maitland's TV bro Peter Bergman (Jack).

"People like Traci who look you in the eye and tell the honest truth are a rarer and rarer breed — in soaps and in life."
