General Hospital star
Marisa Ramirez has joined
The Young and the Restless in a new contract role. "I play Carmen Mesta, a powerful PR woman from New York," she tells TVGuide.com. "I'm there to help save Jabot Cosmetics during the company's crisis with tainted moisturizer. That's all I know so far, but I think a little bit of Latin flavor will be good for the show!"
Ramirez makes her
Restless debut on May 8. The Los Angeles native played bitchy supermodel Gia Campbell on
GH from 2000 to 2002. She has also dabbled in the horror/fantasy genre, appearing in the indie thriller
All Souls Day and costarring with
Skeet Ulrich in ABC's supernatural drama
Miracles.
