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.

Hollywood Studios, Producers & Guilds Send Plan To Gov. Newsom and Gov. Cuomo For COVID-19 Production Restart Guidelines
On Monday, the two states with the most television and film production in the United States (California and New York) received a plan from many Hollywood studios, producers and the entertainment and production guilds of a plan and outline to be able to rejigger and restart production of your favorite shows and films. This includes the soaps: General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful and Days of our Lives.
Via Deadline: In an effort to get the industry moving-forward again where jobs were lost or put on hold, and production were completely stalled out-of-the-blue, the guidelines submitted by “The Industry-Wide Labor-Management Safety Committee Task Force (the “Task Force”) is asking for consideration and adoption for the resumption of motion picture, television, and streaming productions in an environment that minimizes the risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19,” says a report for Governors Gavin Newsom of California and Andrew Cuomo of New York.

You can read the details of the report here. While there has been no word from the Governors and their offices if they have seen the report, bets are that several more steps will be needed before anyone would head and report back to a set yet.
As one would expect, limiting contact, social distancing, regular temperature checks, ways to handle props, and a COVID-19 compliance officer for all productions are part of the proposal. As well as virtual writers room meetings, avoiding filming on-location as much as possible and filming in front of large audiences.
So, glad to know that this major step has been taken to try to get production back on track in Hollywood and New York? Comment below.

British Soap ‘Coronation Street’ Set To Resume Production Next Week Following COVID-19 Shutdown
Will American soaps soon follow the Brits, and be able to start up your favorite soap towns again? While production entities await for guidelines from the state of California and the city of Los Angeles, across the bond, ITV’s Coronation Street has set next Tuesday, June 9th to begin filming new episodes of the popular drama.
Coronation Street had been on 10-week mandatory shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic sweeping our globe. The return to start up the show keeps the soap on-air throughout July and then ongoing. There will be three episodes filmed each week at their studios in Manchester.
Along with ITV’s Emmerdale, and other programs, Coronation Street is returning to production under the UK’s guidelines and safety protocols for COVID-19.
According to Deadline that will include: crew members designated to a specific studio or exterior lot … social distancing will be observed … cast and crew will have daily temperature checks, while older and more vulnerable members of the team won’t be part of the new episodes during the initial period of filming.
In a statement, John Whiston, ITV’s managing director of continuing drama, said: “Getting to this point has taken a huge amount of work and goodwill from a huge number of people, not least our cast and crew. With the peak past, all indications are that the time is right for a return to filming. And with the extensive protocols we have put in place, we have made our workplace as safe as possible. I’m sure our audience will appreciate having the show they love continue on air. For many who have written in it is a vital escape from all the fears and stresses this virus brings in its wake.”
So, do you the news on “Corrie” spells a brighter outlook for the American daytime dramas to begin production shortly in some capacity? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

I have watched the Y&R since the beginning in 1973, now 61. I tape the show everyday so I can watch when I get home from work. You are the “rock” of the show Jeanne and a part of my life. Please get better soon. You are in my prayers everyday. I just bought your book and I cannot wait to read it. We all miss you.
With Love
Prayers to you and your family!! It almost feels as if we are family cause we are together everyday. God Bless!!! Love to all!!!
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 day’s front page. I had only a few moments but Miss Cooper was clearly a delight, enjoying friendship and fun more than celebrity and fame. So genuine. We pray for a recovery, of course, and if not, peace for the family, comfort for allof us we were touched by this wonderful woman.
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. She is loved as a family member to her long time viewers. To her son, I feel for your pain. This show has brought joy to my life, of which there is not alot right now. I will always remember her saying live each day as if it were your last. Sometimes that’s hard to do, but she certainly has. We love her and it is very difficult watching her illness played on the soap as the world knows she is ill in real life. Take care, prayers are with you. Jill from Whitby, Ontario
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 twelve rounds and by unanimous decision… won! And while her light finally gave into the wind that gives flight to all our journeys, there will always be a glimmer left behind by what she stood for. I will speak about that more in coming days, months I suppose. I will certainly dedicate what remains of my life to continue her purpose of honesty, equality, humility, empathy and love. So many of you have said your prayers for her and right now, today, I can say the best way to honor her is to inhabit your lives with those things she stood for. I would ask that closer friends respectfully give us some time to find our family’s path in this transition, and please limit calls, emails and the rest for a couple of days. As always, your outpouring of love here on this page, is not only welcomed to continue but truly appreciated and comforting. I asked my sister what time she passed exactly, and she told me (not to important for public record) but I was working out and just happened to pick out a song for my final moments on the treadmill – “Everlasting Light” by the Black Keys. Oh what a wonder it all is… what a magnificence!
Sad day.
GOD BLESS YOU! Thank your for the wonderful memories. My your family find peace knowing you are safe in GOD’s arms. You will be missed.
mrs chancellor came to belleville ontario many years ago.i have a t-shirt with her picture on it.also a picture of me and jeanne cooper i will always treasure it the y&r will not be the same with out her she will be sadly missed our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
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 in developing her character. I will miss her. She was a talented actress and a special individual who brought much joy to her fans. I am saddened by her death. She will be missed! My heart goes out to her family. May they find some solace in knowing how loved their mother was by her fans. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. May God bless them and help them through this difficult time.
Have been watching y&r since first came on, been with MRS.C for 40 years heart is heavy.Sympathy go out to family.
jean copper will be missed on the young and restless. she had away of keeping everyone in line . the gentleman that played her husband murphey will truley miss her.
