Exclusive: Meredith Baxter Joins "The Young and the Restless"
Aug 4, 2014

Hmmm...wonder if she'll have any family ties?

TV Guide Magazine can exclusively confirm that TV icon Meredith Baxter is heading to daytime's No. 1 soap, "The Young and the Restless". The juicy gig will have her character, Maureen, kicking back a few cocktails — make that lots of cocktails — with troubled socialite Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott).

According to a rep for the CBS soap, Maureen is:

"A 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!"

Adds the rep: "When not hitting the sauce with her new drinking-buddy, Nikki, Maureen will be crossing with several key players on the Y&R canvas."

Baxter will hit Y&R on Monday, Sept. 8 and will be prominent throughout the fall because, word is, boozy Maureen has connections in town!

Awesome! It will be great to see Meredith on Y&R.

If we have to go through watching Nikki fall off the wagon once more, at least it will be with a new, interesting character.
