TVGuide.com reports that Rachel Dratch is set to guest star on an upcoming episode of the ABC comedy SUBURGATORY. The SNL star will appear in the show's Halloween episode. 

According to the report, Dratch will portray a "frenemy" of Ana Gasteyer's suburban mom, Sheila Shay. Explains executive producer and show creator Emily Kapnek, "They grew up together. She's a woman who stands apart from all the other moms in Chatswin. She lives in East Chatswin and she doesn't subscribe to their ideals or their values. She's kind of a feminist and a little bit of a hippie. The two of them lock horns."

The episode will include flashbacks of when Dratch and Gasteyer's characters were kids, and will feature Gasteyer's own daughter portraying the younger Sheila Shay.

Dratch appeared as a member of the SNL cast from 1999 to 2006 and has guest-starred on NBC's 30 Rock. She most recently appeared in 'That's My Boy and had a recurring role on the CBS comedy 'King of Queens.'

Suburgatory premieres on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 9:30/8:30c on ABC.
