UPDATE: Corbin Bernsen's Heartbreaking Message On The Condition Of Y&R's Jeanne Cooper!
Courtesy/CBS
As we post this, it is late in the evening in Los Angeles, and there has been a recent post from Corbin Bernsen on his facebook page relating his thoughts and his update on the condition of his beloved mother, and our colleague and friend, Jeanne Cooper (Katherine Chancellor) of The Young and the Restless. From reading Corbin’s heartbreaking message, it would indicate that Jeanne is struggling. Here is what he related to Jeanne’s fans, friends, and loved ones everywhere:
Corbin Bernsen: “Clearly from my messages you all must realize the situation, and that what I had hoped and prayed for – more time – may just end up being the brief moments I had with mom earlier this week. I asked God for time, I got it and tried to fill it with as much love and laughter as I possibly could. Sitting in a movie tonight, mildly distracted from it all, I got a call from my brother and he said we have to stop being unfair. She’s struggling too much. We have to let her go. I took it in, calmly, and walked back into the theater, finished the movie – Darn good Iron Man 3. I then went back to my hotel room, where I am now and broke down, conceding any fight I had left. I don’t want her in pain. I don’t want her in fear. I don’t want her in agony. And Jeanne Cooper, Katherine Chancellor, Wilma Jeanne is a fighter! She will kick ass as long as we let her but I know now it is only for us, not for her. I had to think back sitting in her bedroom several days ago… she pointed to several objects, paintings, telling us their “value.” Not much really but SHE WANTED US TO KNOW. I think she knew she was ready then, to let go. But she needed to test us to see our reaction – My reaction! Of course I immediately said, “not ready to go there mom,” demonstrating exactly what she suspected; that I wasn’t ready quite yet. So she hung on. Went another round. The boxer pleasing the team in their corner.
I said goodbye to her yesterday, and even then not fully meaning it or expecting that would be the last time I saw her. But now it will have to do as we enter this weekend letting her final voyage begin. And I’m good with it, honestly. Enough to be saying it here. You all have been a tremendous ear for me, to verbalize my struggles with all of this… even now with these very words… I am good. I am good. I don’t want her in pain. I don’t want her in fear or agony. Along with her tremendous success she’s had too much of all that in her lifetime. And she’s shared much of it with all of you, candidly. So I’m giving her this weekend, take the holiday, mom, make it yours, let it take you where it will. My final words to her last night were, “I’ll see you again.” And I will, either here or there. Prayers please for her safe and peaceful journey. I may take a break here for a bit and stay silent in prayer and mediation for the next few days… Then again, I am my mother’s son and staying quiet isn’t always an option. May the light of God grace shine upon us all this weekend. Make it about love, compassion, and honesty, and in doing so you will honor my mom and the examples she has always tried to set, to this very moment.”
There are no words to express how we feel, as I am sure all of you who come to On-Air On-Soaps and who had admired and loved Jeanne for 40 years on the number one soap,also feel. Share your thoughts with us here, and we will keep you posted on the latest developments as the situation warrants.

I am so very sorry. This wonderful woman…she is the epitome of a kind soul. I always thought she was invincible. My mother passed away in 2005…and she loved “Mrs. Chancellor.”
My heart is breaking for her family and friends.
Prayers and love, being sent.
God bless you.
I have never watched Y&R and don’t really care to, but I did read this post, and I was just wondering something, cause maybe I missed something. Did she die? and if not, I was wondering how I could contact Corbin Bernsen personally, before any decision is made.
No matter how bad or serious her condition is; or even if she’s at the brink of death, God can still heal her. I’ve never prayed for her before cause I never knew about it before, but THIS is nothing for God to heal; infact, to Him, this is no worse than a stomach ace. God knows best, whatever happens, but l WILL pray for her cause I have no doubt that God can her heal her. I just wouldn’t want her family to do anything right now until God has a chance to do HIS part. Yes, I know God could have healed her already, but I also know that He likes the interaction between Him and us, so I’ll pray (at least over the weekend), and I can only hope (and pray) that the family doesn’t do anything til then. Once again, this is absolutely NOTHING for God
find this post offensive and out of line, Jeanne Coopers family is fully capable of looing after her best interests, and some Religious Zealot trying to give false hope and who does not even know who this fine lady is, should just tend to their own business.
I’m not sure how to reply back to a reply, but this is for g beau. How in the world is this post offensive? Just because Jeanne’s family is praying for doesn’t mean that I can’t. And please enlighten me; I would love to know what Religious Zealots are. This post is about Jeanne Cooper and her illness, so I don’t understand why you would even post something like this. If it was to try to start an argument with me, it’s not gonna work. I don’t need to know this lady to pray for her and DO NOT imply that God cannot heal her, as that is what it sounded like in you reply to me when you mentioned false hope. I’m sorry, but when somebody needs prayer (and I know about it), I will not just tend to my own business as you put it. I have not one single shred of doubt that God can heal her………. and guess what? From what I have heard, He’s already started. I asked about her yesterday, and someone told me that she was improving and that she was up walking around with her daughter. You can thank and praise God for that!
I feel so sad! But don’t let her suffer!she will always be remembered, and we will see her agin, she is going to be a new star in the sky..
amen. Prayers being sent up for Jeanne Cooper -Katherine Chancellor who has played on the Young & Restless for 38 years. Please we need peace now for Jeanne. Prayers for her family as they go through this terrible time with their mother. My heart is heavy as other hearts are..
Mr.Bernsen,
my heart break’s for your Mom & her family.
When I read your message to us, I cried. It is so very kind & thoughtful of you to share such a private moment.
I refer to Mrs.Chancellor/aka Jeanne Cooper as the Grand Dam.Not only because of the way she carries herself,her acting, her style,her genuinness.She is a class act.
My thought’s & prayers are sent your way. Please take care.
She went another round… as only a mother will.
the inherent understood… that shared being…. the two of you… and siblings.
even in her time… that’s worth….
understanding you to flight together.
love tears and heatfelt memories are felt,
i’m crying.
believeing your path.
((((tears))))
God Speed to her ,,either way ,,, to stay here on this earth or to go into the arms of GOD ,,, may her journey be a smooth one ,,, God Bless Her and keep her in his arms ,,,,, Prayers to all the family and friends of this beautiful and caring Lady
Amen
Corbin –
“I’m Good”
she’s coming back to you with truths.
history and paths traveled knowed.
I just read Corbin’s update when it was posted. It is truly heartbreaking. I watched my dad go through the same thing in January. I want the same thing for Ms. Cooper as I did for him. I want her to be free of pain and suffering. May God help Jeanne and her family find peace. Love you Jeanne Cooper.
I respect and feel for the entire family, such a dfficult time with tough choices to be made. We all want Jeanne to be at peace and I pray for each and everyone of them. I love you Jeanne Cooper and thank you for your every contribution to this life. God Bless!! My heart is sad and heavy! Thank you Corbin Bernsen fo your gracious and thoughtful updates, I have followed each of them with baited breath. Your kindness has been recognized and appreciated!
heavy heart .
Thoughts and prayers to a classy lady, her freinds, and her family.
It is a tough journey and my thoughts are with you.
If I live to be Jeanne’s age I will blessed.. she lived a life I could only dream of having..
I will miss the Lady, greatly ..
Jeanne takes the love of her 4 million+ fans with her to the other side of life ..
we will miss her.
I am truly sorry to hear that your Mom(Mrs. C to most of us) is not doing well. I have watched her for so many years on Y&R, I feel as though I truly know her!! It sadddens me that she is having such a terrible time health wise!! My thoughts&prayers are with her and your entire family at this most difficult time! I wish you all and Mrs. C the very best!! May God be with you all!! Much love going to Mrs. C and I pray for a miracle for you all!!
It’s a journey we’re all destined to take. May she have a peaceful one. Your family will be in my prayers. God Bless.
I met your mother and for that I feel blessed. I hold the autographed picture and the kind words that she spoke to me about my own beloved grandmother who was struggling with a terminal illness. She wrote her a personal note and my grandmother treasured it until her passing. I am so sad to think of this world without Jeanne in it. My thoughts and prayers are with you and with her, but I know that she will be just fine in the arms of God. We are left to miss someone who truly made this world a better place with her kindness and her grace. The show will never be the same without her and neither will the world. Go with God Jeanne, and tell my grandmother that I love her. Love you, Kimberly
My heart breaks for the family. I have loved Jeanne Cooper for all the years she has been on Y&R and so many other TV shows. If it is indeed her time to go home, I pray for strength for the family. I lost my mom 6 years ago after a 32 year battle with Parkinson’s Disease that started when she was 46. It left her with Alzheimer’s. When my mom passed I thanked God for finally giving her peace. I knew she would be in a better place, that she would always be with me, and that I WILL see her again. My prayers & my love go out to the entire family. Corbin, thank you for realizing that we fans love your mom too and for your kindness & courage in sharing your sadness with us. Ms Cooper thank you for years of smiles. <3
amen, amen.
Thank you Corbin for thinking of us. your family is our family. We pray for a safe journey if is is her time. Love & hugs to all.
It’s a journey every soul is destined to take. May she have a peaceful one. Your family will be in my prayers. God Bless.
Amen to that and God Wlll help her through that journey with her in his arms
How beautiful what Corbin wrote about his mother. There are no words to express what the family is feeling now but he sure did write what we all feel at that time. I remember standing beside my mother’s bed when she drew her last breath and knowing she went home to be with the Lord. God Bless all of your family Corbin at this time.
That message gets to the heart. I am sure many Young & Restless fans will pray for her that have come to know her for these 40 years and beyond. That was a hard message for Corbin Bernsen to write.
P Corbin, this message is so hard to read.And it breaks my heart to hear this. I love Jeanne so much,and I don’t know I will do if we lose her.but we need to think of what is best for her. My prayers go out to her and all of the family. With all my love,Joyce Peters
She had a good long life. I have learned there is a time to let go.
Sending prayers for God’s grace to be with her, and her family. I can’t stop crying. I have watched her since I was 12 years old. I watched at my Grandmothers side. My Nanny was a housewife, and the way that she learned of the changing times was through the Soaps. Jeanne Cooper and her way of sharing herself with her fans helped my Nanny to except new ideas about fashion, and life choices. My heart breaks for her family, and for her many co-workers through the years who have been better for having known and worked with her. Also for her millions of adoring fans who will miss her. She was a pioneer and forged the way clear for the others to come behind her. She was one of a kind! My message to her family, “we fans will all continue to pray for your strength during this time!”
tears
God Love you and Keep You And Your Family.She Will Always Be With You. What A Wonderful Woman…
My thoughts and prayers are with Jeanne and her family! Thank you for all of the updates and thank you to Jeanne for all the enjoyment she gave us over so many years!
Back in the early 70’s I learned my own mother watched soaps. As I became an adult, I would visit my mother at lunchtime and we would sit and eat our lunch while watching As the World Turns. Each day I would leave giggling that my mother would watch these. One day I got an early lunch and went to my mother’s and she said to me “There is a show that fits you more, so we should watch that when you come” Giggling under my breath, I sat and watched the Young and the Restless and got HOOKED. Soon after my mother got cancer and it was more important than ever that I had my lunches with her, it was our time. I then owned my own business so I would take two hour lunches and we would watch Young and the Restless first, for me and then As the World Turns for my mother. My mother sadly passed away in 1988. I continued to watch Young and the Restless, throughout my life, at lunchtime as I felt close to my mother in keeping our tradition and have been a fan ever since. I am 53, I never miss an episode and Jeanne in so many ways reminds me of my mother. I feel like I come home to the comfort of the parent’s home and my mother is with me every Monday through Friday at 12:30. Jeanne is such an important part of my life due to this and I weep quietly feeling like I am loosing my mother all over again. Jeanne was her favorite charater and felt that she was so misunderstood. ” Now that is a lady with class” she would say. If I could say one thing to her? I would say thank you. Thank you for being there all these years, thank you for being a part of my life and my mother’s and thank you for keeping her with me after she passed with this one hour a day show. I love you
I think the love her two sons and daughter have for their mother is a real tribute to the wonderful actress that we all love. When all is said and done, what folks think of us, is all that really matters and Jeanne Cooper is loved.
I respect and feel for the family I pray for eash and everyone of them we will keep her and our hearts
Very sad…i experienced same wit my late mom 15 yers ago
Its heartbreaking to watch a loved one struggle & its so hard to let them go….but when the quality of life is gone , we have to make some tough decisions….i’m still sending prayers to this wonderful lady….she gave us so many wonderful years….All i can do is pray that what ever the outcome she will find peace & be free from all suffering….Sending prayers for Jeanne her family….♥~
Always love Jeanne Cooper
Jill Phelps The producer does not care she distrued young and the restless
Simply devastated. There’s just no other way to put it. I’ve watched Jeanne Cooper on Y&R for more than 30 years. It is hard to fathom a Genoa City without her. Her absence will truly leave a void on this show. I wish her Godspeed and my heart goes out to her family and friends/colleagues who will miss her terribly.
That is just so heartbreaking. I will be praying for her to have a peaceful passing and to be cradled in the arms of Christ. What a sad time. Thank you Michael for sharing Corbin’s posts. All of her fans will be as sad as I am to hear this news, but we are grateful to have these heartfelt updates.
oh yes. please continue updates.
Love & prayers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeanne Cooper is and always has been a fighter! More than that, she has always been the prize. Our prize. She’s is a beautiful, wonderful soul who we have been blessed with for many years. Her passion for life and her talent and grace have touched us all. She is a “Epic Icon” of daytime. As we pray for her strength, may we pray for her peace and comfort. May we pray for her safe and fearless journey whether it be here or there. God carries us through many journeys in life. It is the here on Earth journey that takes us on winding paths toward more and more adventures. Some struggles and some when the way is clear and comforting. Then there is our one last journey, toward him. He guides us home to our eternal rest and peace. This battle Jeanne is fighting now is in his hands. I pray for her peace, her comfort and her strength. I pray for her fears to be lifted and her journey to be clear and bright. Jeanne will always be our daytime sunshine. A sunshine who’s rays extended out to each of us warming our hearts and blessing us for years. God, please be as kind and forgiving and guide her in the most compassionate and graceful journey. Let her know how much we all love her and appreciate her. AMEN
Amen.
I have watched Young & Restless since the very first episode and have loved Katherine. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family at this difficult time. Look to God for peace and comfort.
I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS WITHOUT HER.SHE HAS BEEN ONE TO THE BIGGEST STAR ATTRACTION TO MY WATCHING IT FROM DAY ONE.GOD BLESS THIS ADORABLE LADY.I HATE TO EVEN THINK OF HER NOT AROUND,BUT I TOO WISH HER AND ALL HER FAMILY PEACE,LOVE,HOPE AND PRAYERS THAT SHE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE IN ANY MORE PAIN AND THAT THE ANGELS ESCORT HER BACK INTO THE LOVING ARMS OF OUR SAVIOR.I’M SO SAD AND HEAVY HEART AS I SAY THIS BECAUSE IT WILL BE LIKE LOOSING A PART OF MY FAMILY.LOVE HER SO DEARLY.GOD BLESS ARE OF YOU AND WILL KEEP ALL OF YOU IN MY PRAYERS.LOVE TO ALL AND GIVE HER A BIG HUG AND KISS FROM ALL HER FANS THAT LOVE HER SOOOO MUCH.KAY
We will miss her. Beautiful post Kay.
There are no words. I lost my dad in 2009, so I know what her family is going through. They need to be good to each other and I pray for a peaceful outcome for Ms. Cooper.
Very sad but expected news. This amazing Lady , Mother, Grandmother, Friend, has given so much of herself and leaves such a profound mark on all of us. We are united in our deep admiration of her as well as the sadness we share, of her decline.
May the Lord give her comfort and peace, as with her family.
It goes without saying how deeply she will be missed 🙁
My mother passed March 23rd. Days before as
we sat by her bed we watched as she transitioned
into death. It was gut wrenching to watch
but I believe peaceful for her. I wasnt there
When she took her last breath as I live out of
state. I know she is with God b/c of what
happened while we were with her. That
gave me peace enough to let her go. My
prayers to Jeanne for a peaceful journey and
my prayers to Corbin and the family for
strength to get thru each day. I have watched
Jeanne all my life on Y&R. What an actress,
what a legacy.
feels like we are all loseing a part of our lives,,we all have enjoyed and welcomed into our homes for over 30 years this wondefull grand dame…thank you miss cooper for the years of enjoyment,,,,you are a legend in my mind,,
It is good that he found the strength to make peace with the fact his mother’s body is mortal, and like all of us one day will leave our mortal bodies behind and our spirits will continue onward, back to the One who created her.
I know when my father was dying of cancer 18 years ago, I went through all the emotions he did. First you are positive your loved one will beat the odds and defeat their illness. Then the setbacks, the doubt, the fear and the denial. Then the exhaustion and then the realization what is best for your loved one, and what we want are often not the same. Then you make peace– you cannot put off death forever- you released your loved one. Yes, you will mourn, and life will never quite be same without their physical presence, but slowly you sense them around you even in death, and you are comforted.
So I too pray she will have a peaceful exit from her body and her journey continues with God’s Grace.
God bless you & your family during these hard days God will take care of her & bring her home when it’s time. Do what you know is right even though it ‘s breaking your heart. She will always be in your heart .
I wish prayers and peace to jeanne cooper and her family as they all go through this painful journey . we will miss her .
As I sit here with tears in my eyes knowing that this is it. Her final journey. Michael, thank you for the updates and Corbin, thank you for your thoughtful and engaging updates on your beloved mother. My heart is breaking and sadness and resolute has set in. May she have a peaceful and pain free final journey. She truly is and always will be one of a kind.
heavy heart tonight as so many others!
Our thoughts and prayers to Jeanne and her family. May Gods peace and love comfort you all during this time . God Bless all of you.
Mrs.C was part of my family for 40 years. My mother who passed last year at 90
Had me watching YR at a young age. I’m praying for you….God Speed.You will always be remembered.
No one can take your place….
First of all my heart goes out to your mother and you Corbin….I recently went though this with my mother last year, I too did not want her to leave…I have a song that a friend of mine wrote that helps me get though those rough days, it goes something like this…….. Angel of Mercy please take my mothers hand, she’s been holding on so long, she’s done all she can…time has given up on her, but she’s not about to go…Angel of Mercy, there’s a fire still in her soul !!! Angel of Mercy , though I never knew you name…you were there for her….like you’ve always been there for me.. you took her pain, you gave her peace……………….<3 All my prayers to you and your family
I understand where your coming from, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. I love Jeanne Cooper have watched the Y&R since I was Back in School. She will be missed. Right now we are going through the same thing my father in law is fighting for his life right now. May they just go peacefully and be out of pain.
God Bless Her and keep her in his arms ,,,,, Prayers to all the family and friends! To me she was like a Grandmother!!!
I always thought of Jeanne as a grandmother also, (((tears)))
My Thoughts and Prayers are with Your Mother and Your Family at this Very Difficult. We Love You a Jeannie Cooper/Mrs Chancellor!
I understand on what Corbin was saying. I went through the same situation in December. One day my family member was enjoying life and telling us how much she loved us and then not more than 6 hours later she was gone. Prayers to your Corbin and your family.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Even though I’m very sad, as I was when m y own mom died unexpectedly 3 years ago, I can’t help but rejoice for her. She will be surrounded by God’s heavenly love and Angels… and when s he meets my little baby brother — watch out! She will have met her match, because she’ll have to listen to “What’s New Pussycast” all t he time — his favoarite song during his battle with cancer before Y & R debuted. God blessed your mother and you with such strong, amazing talents and gifts .. and you decided to follow His plan, share them with us, and definitel y make the world a better place. That’s all any of us can do. May God hold each of you closely, as He is holding her right now and will be forever. God answer sour prayers, not always giving us what we want, but what we need. You needed some time, you got it. We needed her for many years — we got them. and YOU, as well. THANK YOU so much for sharing this journey with us, as it is just beginning for her. I pray you’ll keep us posted. We feel like you are all part of our extended family – God’s family. and right now He is smiling because He will get to be with her forever in eternity. You are all loved very much for your kind, giving spirit and admired and respected for your strong, unyielding faith. God bless all of you.
Ms. Cooper. god is with u. feel better soon love you
I have watched the Young & the Restless from the very begining & I have grown to love so many of the actors on there. My prayers are with you all as Mrs. C goes through her journey. Thnak you Corbin for keeping us informed. God be with you. XXOO
