The Young and the Restless spoilers tease there will be a new face in Genoa City this fall. Actress Meredith Baxter is joining the Y&R cast as new character Maureen. Meredith Baxter is well known for her role as Elyse Keaton on Family Ties, and she also has appeared on The Neighbors, Finding Carter, and Switched At Birth. According to Y&R spoilers, Baxter will make her debut on Monday, September 8th.
The Young and the Restless spoilers tease that Nikki Newman will be falling off the wagon soon, and getting back to her boozy ways. According to TV Guide’s soap insider Michael Logan, Maureen will be Nikki’s new partner in crime! A CBS rep told Logan, “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. When not hitting the sauce with her new drinking-buddy, Nikki, Maureen will be crossing with several key players on the Y&R canvas.”
It sounds like Maureen will be quite the trouble maker, and The Young and the Restless is desperately in need of some fresh new characters to spice up their dull daytime drama. Perhaps Maureen will be just what the doctor ordered!
