On this final season of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' (weekdays, syndicated), Winfrey has made a recurring bit out of surprising her guests with their former co-stars. She's surprised Diana Ross with Billy Dee Williams, and Susan Lucci with all of her former TV husbands. Today, she surprised Meredith Baxter with her former 'Family Ties' co-star Michael Gross.

Baxter spoke about Gross and his wife having lent her a shoulder to cry on during a stressful time in her life. "Michael is the dearest man who walked the Earth," Baxter said. "He's just such a sweetheart." Winfrey then noted that Gross had wanted to be there for Baxter again, on this show, when the audience started cheering, and Baxter realized Gross was walking onto the set.

"You look just like you do on TV," Winfrey said as producers brought out an extra chair for Gross, officially reuniting Mr. and Mrs. Keaton.
