Marcia Wallace will play Annie Wilkes on "The Young and the Restless."

Watch out! Marcia Wallace is coming to shake things up in Genoa City.

Good news! Emmy award-winning actress Marcia Wallace is joining the cast of "The Young and the Restless."

You know Marcia, right? She's best known as the voice of Bart's teacher, Mrs. Krabappel, on "The Simpsons," and we also totally loved her as Carol Kester on "The Bob Newhart Show" back in the day.

She'll be playing a woman named Annie Wilkes who poses a possible danger to Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper). Hmm ... does that mean she's going to be a total villain? A raging psychopath? How fun would that be to watch?

We're not exactly sure what Marcia's new character has in store for Genoa City -- but we definitely can't wait to find out.

Be sure to tune in for her big debut on Monday, February 16th

Sounds like a dayplayer part or short guest role.

LOL, looks like a campy psycho though, should be fun.

Annie Wilkes? Isn't that the name of Kathy Bates psycho character in Misery? LoL

I love Marcia Wallace! I grew up watching her as Carol on Bob Newhart, so it's awesome to see her in something new!

Interesting. Annie Wilkes was also the name of Kathy Bates's psychobitch character in "Misery." That picture of Marcia is very Misery-esque too.

Y&R isnt above camp.

It just needs to do camp well.

Kathy Bates won an Oscar for playing the role of Annie Wilkes. Maybe Marcia Wallace will win another Emmy, LoL.

"He didn't get out of the cock-a-doody car!"

hey, Mrs. K in genoa city! this should be a real treat

Too campy for Y&R? Brad in a cage anyone? Sheila? Ashley's sperm caper?

I love this actress and it would be cool if she's someone related to Marge - like Marge's sister or something. I'm game!

This should be hilarious!

You know something, comedic actresses like Marcia Wallace often dazzle in dramatic works...comedy is hard, drama is easy. Comedy is just tragedy plus time...it might not be all that campy...we'll see.

Either way, I'm delighted.
