Not good news to report this Daytime Emmy morning! Daytime Emmy winner and soap legend, Jeanne Cooper (Katherine Chancellor) of The Young and the Restless who had battled back from landing in critical condition and in the ICU over the week and half is now being reported as being taken back to the hospital this morning!
According to her son actor/director Corbin Bernsen on his Facebook page: “An abundance of prayers needed this morning, mom has been taken back to hospital. Not sure what to pray for at this point or what we even want for her. I know in my heart there is more for her to do in this world, but I also know there is a season for all things. I want more than anything comfort for her. I want her to have peace. This is that tricky place where you start to weigh all things, not what we need to do, actions to take, but instead open ourselves for enlightenment as to what God has planned for her and ultimately what is best for her. She’s a fighter and I know she’ll continue that. But when you’re boxer is in the corner, bruised and bloodied from battle and demands to keep going, what do you do? I’m saying my prayers this morning, asking for guidance. Again, not reporting “the end” here, just that tricky place at the precipice and those moments requiring deepest reflection.”
OK soap fans, please, let’s send our prayers to Jeanne and her family at this time! On-Air On-Soaps will keep you updated as developments warrant!

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest (on newsstands now), Atkinson shared on the story: “Thomas just wants to take his rightful place. He’s not saying they are no longer a family. It’s just the opposite. He’s not prying Douglas away from Hope. He knows Douglas has bonded with Hope, Liam and Beth, and he believes they can all make it work.”
The question is, will Thomas resort to extreme measures as he has in the past to get what he wants, or will he work this out with Hope and Liam?
Check out the latest promo for this week’s action on B&B below.
Now let us know, do you want Thomas to have more of a relationship with his son, Douglas? Should the boy live between all three ‘parents’? Should Douglas fight for solo custody? Comment below.

So Sad to hear..God Love Her. I will keep her in my Prayers.I’ve only been watching for 5 years,but I love that show.She is A strong woman…
my prayers go out to you and your family, Corbin…i understand exactly what you are saying having been in the same place many years ago that you are in today…its not an easy place to be in, but whatever Gods will is, is what will be…
I concur…. let it be Gods Will.
that tricky Precipice is to make peace with.
I agree with you,Abby I just want to pray for Jeanne all the way.. let’s god take care of your mother to need lot of heal,Big Corbin (formerly of LA LAW and now Psych.)…and Corbin, I’m sure cast and crew of Y&R will be pray for your good old mother.
OMG…..That is worrying!
Get well Jeanne! 🙁 🙁
I hope she will make it !!!! Jeanne Cooper is the Y&R!!! And I wish all the best to her 🙂
My prayers will continue to go out for JC and her family all day.!
Prayers for Jeanne Cooper and her loved ones <3
Very sad. I think she’s still got a lot left to do and will survive this. Would love to see her back on Y&R, but overall, would just love to see her well. XOXO
i am praying for complete healing for her………………..
Jeanne and her family are in our thoughts and prayers with alot of hugs .
Prayers for Jeanne to come through her latest ordeal. God Bless.
So sad… sending Jeanne all good wishes and prayers!!! Hang in there Jeanne… you have so many who care about you and want you to stay with us for many more years!
I have thought it has been especially difficult to watch her character Katherine going through severe health issues and looking to be in a coma while this is going on in real life. I would so much rather be seeing her being the strong and feisty Katherine we know and love!!!
Corbin it is time to turn it over to God. There comes a time when you have to give her to God to do as He wills. My mama was 89 last yr when she passed away. We did everything we knew to do. She came home to my house from the hospital. She asked if she was going to get better. I never lied to mama so I told her no. She said OK I am in God’s hands. So Corbin pray His will be done. He knows what is best. I am sending prayers up. God knows best!!!
Amen Edna…from your fingers…to God‘s ears…and back to JC and Corbin. It is so nice to hear a Hollywood celebrity placing faith in the Lord and prayer. I just lost my mom in March and losing a parent is just devastating. In my case especially hard because just a year and a half ago, I lost my two oldest brothers within a month and a day of each other, both to cancer. And now my mom. If my life were a soap opera, viewers would write in and comlain about too much tragedy. But, until such things happen, we never… Read more »
Amen Edna. I’am sending alot of prayers to this family. May they stay strong and positive during this latest setback.
Prayers are being sent!
I wish you and all your family all the best and will be praying for you. It is comforting for us as fans to know that you have your son with you. You are a strong lady and very much loved by so many. My prayers are with you all! Susan MacDuffie from Nottawa Ontario Canada
He is so articulate. I am so impressed with his conduct.
Wishing Jeanne a full and speedy recovery. We Miss her very much. Prayers continuing.!!!!
My prayers are with your mother and your family. I have watched her faithfully and almost feel like she is a friend like most soap fans. Having recently lost my mother (who went in and out of hospital for many years) you can never count someone out. Prayers for her recovery or for her peace.
Prayers being said for Jeanne Cooper and her family.
Heartbreaking news, but we have to just keep the prayers going for Jeanne, Corbin and the rest of her family. Corbin is amazing in my book, keeping us all informed on her status.
So sorry to hear about this setback. Will be praying for God’s grace and mercy for her and her family.
My heart goes to Jeanne and her family. It is difficult knowing when to admit you fought the good fight and accept whatever fate awaits you. I know from my own experience how hard it is to watch those we love struggle with illness– and being conflicted within yourself between wanting them to be alive and healthy- or at peace, even if that means losing them. My prayers are with you– whatever the outcome know you are loved.
Prayers to Jeanne and her family.
This is terrible news, praying hard for you Jeanne Cooper. We love and support you.
God is with you Jeanne , you are in good hands …
Jeanne, I am wishing you the very best of health,and a speedy recovery. You have made Y&R the best for many years, I have enjoyed all your work on the show, keep the faith , God Loves you and so do we.
Many Blessings,
Marguerita
I have prayed now for amost three weeks that our beloved Jeanne Cooper would come through this bad time, we all have prayed, I think the whole world has prayed for her. Now we have to pray to let God’s Will be done. He and only He knows what is truly best for precious Jeanne. All I am praying for now, is that she is peaceful, as her son expressed, and that she is surrounded by her extraoridary and loving family, which she is. If it is possible for her to come back to us as she always has been,vibrant… Read more »
Amen Jolene!
You don’t have to be a celebrity to understand this family’s pain and heartache. To look beyond our own selfish desires (his, as a son who doesn’t want to lose his mom; and us, as fans who can’t bear to not watch Y & R without our Mrs. C) is the most difficult thing to face in this world. I had to do it last year with my Dad after a massive stroke. The prospect of having to let go is unbearably painful and lonely. Let’s continue to pray for her recovery, but also to give her loving family the… Read more »
