Baxter.

Family Ties star Meredith Baxter is joining the cast of CBS daytime drama The Young and the Restless. 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 those "key players" include Kelly (Cady McClain) and Stitch (Sean Carrigan)? Kelly recently mentioned her broken relationship with their mother.
