On-Air On-Soaps has been so impressed and touched by the outpouring of love and hundreds of comments over the last several days in our last several posts updating you on the condition of our dear friend and colleague, Jeanne Cooper (Katherine Chancellor) of The Young and the Restless!
Tonight just a few hours ago, Jeanne’s son, Corbin Bernsen made a new updated posting to his facebook page, relating to Jeanne’s fans and friends her current health status while she remains hospitalized.
Corbin stated, “Many have asked for an update on mom’s condition. In short, it remains the same. She is resting, she’s in peace and in no pain. Where it will lead is now fully in God’s hands and we have given over to that, to Him and his plan for her. But she is still with us on this side of the thin fence that separates us from our earthly body and the great mystery and magnificence of the hereafter. Honestly, all I want for her is comfort and to know the abundance of love that surrounds her. She knows of each of you and your prayers. I whispered to her today of the great love and affection you send her way. She is a beacon whose bright light will not easily fade away. She is a boxer who will not easily give up. So we wait for her to do things on her terms… as if it were ever anything but that!”
Please continue to send your love and support, and prayers to Jeanne and her family during this most difficult of times. We know so many of you have been touched by Jeanne’s performances as Mrs C., and that you feel like she is part of your own family. Jeanne is that special of a lady to all that have watched her work for 40 years on the number one soap, and for those who have had the honor to know her personally.

‘As The Curtain Rises’ – Broadway’s Podcast Soap Opera Featuring Michael Urie

On December 3rd, the latest installment dropped featuring former Ugly Betty star Michael Urie who is featured in the cast in the role of Bobby.
Here is the premise of the show: After the ‘Broadway Disher’ (Lesli Margherita) leaks news of a top secret, in-the-works, new mega musical, the Broadway community goes off-the-charts batty. Top-of-their-game Broadway Producers Cheryl Philips (Lillias White) and Steve Jones (James Monroe Iglehart), arch enemies, pounce. Who will get the rights? Will way-out-of-their-comfort-zone creators Kaye (Ashley Park) and Bobby (Michael Urie) manage to deliver a draft of the show before their marriage implodes? Will Director/Choreographer Zoey Taylor (Ariana DeBose) send the show’s budget into a free fall with her wildly ambitious vision? Will Broadway Diva Emma-Olivia (Sarah Stiles) get a Schmackery’s cookie (with Sprinkles) named in her honor? Will newbie Agent Maxwell Fernsby (George Salazar) step into his new big shoes? And will Science Consultant Andrew Barth Feldman (Andrew Barth Feldman) protect the integrity and authenticity of the in-the-works mega musical, before he needs to leave this top secret show to star in a new Broadway musical?
As The Curtain Rises proudly supports The Actor’s Fund, the Broadway Podcast Network Frontline Initiative, and is a sponsored project of IFP (www.ifp.org).
Check out previous episodes of the podcast here.
You can watch Urie do his thing in the role of Bobby in this teaser released on social media below.

Jeanne Cooper is a class act. I recall she befriended a low-powerTV station talk show hostess in Bucyrus Ohio in the 1990s and even came to visit said hostess. I was working in a neighboring town as a newspaper reported and one evening I got a phone call from a local downtown bar and restaurant. Jeanne Cooper was there with her new friend. There was no story to report. I respected that Miss Cooper was there like any other patron, but this being a small town, she graciously posed for a photo of record that would appear on the next… Read more »
I have been watching the Y and R since 1979. Mrs. C. Has remained an amazing character as she is a person outside of the show. She is beautiful …still ….I am greatful she is not suffering near the end…as we all can only hope for. Unfortunately it is those left behind..who suffer the loss.

Positive thoughts going to Jeanne. XOX
GOD BLESS JEANNE ( MRS C ) AND HER FAMILY, IVE ALWAYS LOVED HER ON Y & R.. SHES AN AMAZING WOMEN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO YOU ALL …..CARMEN R GAGLIARDI
I’ve been watching her as Mrs. C since I was a little girl. She is the very essence of all things we love about soaps; the family connections, a strong woman who overcame obstacles on and off screen. There is no other TV genre where we as soap fans feel that kind of connection. My heart aches for her family, as I know exactly how you feel. Continued prayers for comfort and peace.
I have brought Mrs C into my home everyday for many years. Precious lady, I hope you know how much your fans love and adore you. We are praying for a miracle as we are not ready to let you go. God is in control and when He is ready then Heaven will welcome a very special angel.
Michael-Corbin just posted on FB that Jeanne passed away this morning. Let us all celebrate her glorious life. No longer restless, but AT rest 🙂 .
She has passed. Corbin’s post: My mother passed away this morning just a short time ago, peaceful with my sister by her side, in her sleep. I was going to visit this afternoon, thought I had time. Reminder to self – time is a precious thing. I too am at peace however. I said my goodbyes several times over during the last few weeks. I’ll go one last time now for a gentle kiss a final farewell for this lifetime. She has been a blaze her entire life, that beacon, that boxer I spoke of earlier. She went the full… Read more »

I have watched The Young and the Restless since it began in 1973. I was 17 years old at the time. My mother, 4 sisters and I enjoyed watching the character of Kay Chandler together. We laughed and cried as her character went through the ups and downs of life. I feel like Jean Cooper was a part of my childhood and my life. She reminds me of all the times I shared with my mother and sisters watching the show over the years. My mother has now passed, but I remember how much we enjoyed watching Jeanne Cooper’s magic… Read more »
