One of our dearest friends and colleagues, The Young and the Restless Jeanne Cooper (Katherine Chancellor) last night was admitted to a Los Angeles Hospital Intensive Care Unit. Cooper is currently in critical condition but said to be stable this morning according to updates from her son, actor Corbin Bernsen and Jeanne’s Y&R co-stars, Daniel Goddard (Cane) and Tracey E. Bregman (Lauren) who both tweeted that they visited Jeanne in the hospital.
There has been an huge outpouring of love and prayers started all across the daytime community for Jeanne from cast mates, to fans, to colleagues. Corbin posted on Twitter the following in the last 24 hours with the last update 40 minutes ago, “Need some prayers for my mom tonight. Not doing great. I don’t believe it is the end of her journey, but still a very uphill battle. Kindness from all is overwhelming me. The power of your prayers is working in many ways and for now, this nite, I think all is stable. All still stable this morn with morning, such a fighter. So many have noted that. Your prayers are powerful and kind words overwhelming. Had a dream last night, inspired by your outpouring of love that my mom returns from this, stronger than ever, defying all possible reason.”
Daniel Goddard tweeted this morning, “JeanneCooper is still in ICU and is stable yet sedated.”
UPDATED: This evening – Corbin Bernsen took to his facebook page with the latest update on Jeanne’s condition relating, “Just home from hospital, pretty exhausting day, emotional roller coaster of moments of progress, moments backwards, but all in all MUCH better than 24 hours ago. Still so much to accomplish and a great task for someone of advanced age, but she’s doing it – a remarkable fighter. Of course this made me drift to thoughts about life, our greater purpose and the strange harmony of the polar components of our very existence; the pain – the pleasure, the joy – the sorrow, the strength – frailty. One can’t exist without the other. I have so much faith that my mom will get beyond this, honestly, and perhaps be even stronger than she’s been in recent years… I mean, they are sourcing EVERYTHING that is not right with her and strengthening that. But for now she’s resting comfortably, and we too are taking time to rest and reflect and prepare for tomorrow’s piece of the journey. Please keep up the prayers, they are doing WONDERS and I know she’d want you to tell those you love, how much you love them.
Jeanne Cooper’s best-selling memoir, Not Young Still Restless is slated to come out in paperback this week at all book store. On-Air On-Soaps will keep you update on the latest developments with Jeanne, as we send love, light and our prayers to Jeanne, one of the most special people we have ever known in our lives!

General Hospital Receives Honor From Ruderman Family Foundation
General Hospital was one of five television shows that has been named and honored by the Ruderman Family Foundation for their accurate depictions of people with disabilities.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the soap received the recognition for the casting of Maysoon Zayid who portrayed Shilohs’s (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) lawyer, Zahra Amir.
Zayid is an actress and disabilities advocate living with cerebral palsy. In addition, Maysoon is also one of America’s first Muslim women comedians. Zayid said landing on GH was a “lifelong dream,” after finding it difficult to land roles due to her disability.
Along with GH, the foundation’s seal of authentic representation went to: Netflix’s Tales of the City and Raising Dion, and BBC/HBO’s Years and Years and Audience’s Loudermilk, great company for the ABC daytime drama series to be included with.
Jay Ruderman, president of the Ruderman Family Foundation expressed in a statement. “By giving credit where credit is due in Hollywood, we hope to inspire a broader, longer-term, industry-wide sea change when it comes to authentically casting actors of all abilities.”
In addition, Frank Valentini, executive producer of General Hospital stated: “Our goal has always been to provide stories that are authentic and relatable for our viewers. Having the opportunity to welcome Maysoon Zayid onto the show was exciting for us. She is an incredible talent and was a perfect fit to guest-star as Zahra Amir. It takes all kinds of people to tell a story; especially those that are rich and entertaining enough to resonate with our audience.”

Networks To Preempt Daytime Programming For Donald Trump Impeachment Hearing Coverage
Just as your favorite soaps are kicking into high gear for November sweeps next week, comes the news that due to the House public impeachment hearings on President Donald Trump, daytime programming will endure several pre-mptions starting with the first two on Wednesday November 13th and Friday, November 15th.
CBS was the first network to announce their plans for their extensive coverage, and according to the Washington Post all other networks have followed suit. By this move by the networks it gives the hearing some extra weight and exposure to the American voters and viewing audience.
So far, leading network coverage for CBS will be reportedly anchored by Norah O’Donnell and for ABC George Stephanopoulos.
On Wednesday, the hearings begin at 10am EST, the second is scheduled for Friday beginning at 11am EST.
William Taylor, the U.S. diplomat in the Ukraine, is scheduled to testify Wednesday and on Friday Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, is scheduled to testify.
The networks are expecting big numbers for covering the hearings, as they have in the past for impeachment proceedings and hearings.
No word yet how the soaps plan for you to see the episodes that don’t air at their regularly scheduled times, or if it shifts your soap viewing schedule by several days.
Nevertheless not great timing when the soaps are revving up their stories to make you tune-in for not-to-be missed episodes.
So, what are your thoughts on what the Impeachment hearings could mean for daytime dramas in in the weeks ahead? Comment below.
