Los Angeles: Actress Kelly Rutherford, best known for playing Lily van der Woodsen on “Gossip Girl”, is joining Priyanka Chopra-fronted FBI drama “Quantico” in a recurring role.

Rutherford, 47, will play the role of Laura, Shelby’s (Johanna Braddy) mother who — along with Shelby’s father Glenn (Kevin Kilner) — was revealed to still be alive and siphoning off money from her daughter through a long con, reported Entertainment Weekly.

Showrunner Josh Safran, who previously served as a writer and executive producer for “Gossip Girl”, said he had hoped fans of the teen drama would notice.

“It’s always nice to slip Kelly in anything, I missed her. But when you think about it, who looks like Johanna’s mother?,” Safran said.
