UPDATE: Y&R's Jeanne Cooper "Recovering and Making Great Progess!"
Courtesy/CorbinBersenFacbook
There was some very good news this weekend! The Young and the Restless Jeanne Cooper (Katherine Chancellor) is reportedly on the mend recovering and making great progress since being hospitalized and landing in the ICU!
Jeanne’s son actor/director Corbin Bernsen posted on Facebook Sunday that the legendary daytime star who has played grande dame of Genoa City for 40 years, was even well enough to let him take her picture and post it, according to CBS 2 Local news in Los Angeles!
She gave a thumbs up in the photo and Bernsen said, “then, without hesitation, she flipped me the bird.” That, he joked, was how he knows his mother is on the mend and returning to her true irascible and loveable self. “It’s a great sign,” he wrote.
Bernsen added that Cooper is “overwhelmed by your the fans abundance of thoughts and prayers for her.” He also added that his mother has “very real hurdles for a long range recovery and for returning to a life she knew” but his mother was (his caps) “ABUNDANTLY, ABSOLUTELY, ADAMANTLY CLEAR she wants to go back to work and ‘it ain’t over until Katherine Chancellor sings!’”
We wouldn’t expect anything else from the one and only Jeanne Cooper! Please share your thoughts here for Jeanne as she rally’s back and soon can hopefully leave the hospital! And from On-Air On-Soaps, a personal note, to thank all the wonderful Y&R and Jeanne fans for coming here over the last week or so and sending prayers Jeanne’s way!
To her fans, Bernsen said, “Enjoy the photo and her stuffed dog she calls Cracker Jack — after her real dog waiting patiently at home for her.”

Y&R’s Elizabeth Hendrickson Gives Birth To Baby Girl
We are so happy to hear the news and to report that The Young and the Restless’ Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe) is a mom! The actress and her husband Rob Meder are the proud parents to their daughter named Josephine James.
Josephine weighed-in at 6lb., 11 oz. and measured 20 inches long. The joyous moment for Liz and Rob didn’t come without some hiccups, especially for Liz entering the UCLA Santa Monica hospital amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
PEOPLE had the exclusive pics and statement from Hendrickson who expressed: “We are thrilled to introduce our little Josephine James Meder to the world – she’s perfect in every way,”
Earlier week on her Instagram. Liz revealed: “We’ve decided to induce labor with everything moving so rapidly. We felt it was safest to get her here safely before Rob wasn’t allowed in the delivery room like they’re doing in San Fran and NY.” However, she later added, “20 mins before we walked into the hospital the midwives were notified that after delivery only the mother is allowed with the baby postpartum. Rob has to leave. We are heartbroken but we also feel like I’m in incredible hands. My midwife Didi is a dream and my nurse Andra is so awesome!” she wrote. “I know i will be well supported by everyone in the maternity ward.“
Share your congrats and well-wishes below for Liz and Rob and their new family member, daughter Josephine!

DAYS’ Christie Clark Shares Coronavirus Health Update
Days of our Lives fans love her as as Carrie Brady, and are often very happy when they find out Christie Clark is back for a visit taping episodes of the NBC soap opera. But that’s not what’s happening right now. Right now, we need Christie to get all her strength back.
Clark shared via her Instagram today a health update on her battle with the coronavirus that hit both her and her husband while they have been living in the United Kingdom.
Christie expressed: “Oh my goodness, just starting to feel ok on this end. My husband Tom and I have had coronavirus fairly bad. Not as bad as some, no hospital needed. Hope your all well! I’m sure at this stage you all know of someone with it? When you get it, you can’t call the grandparents for help, cause they will get sick. We know about 10 people in our little circle that have had it. Like clockwork, Day 7,8,&9 were tricky and haven’t been able to taste food for a while. So excited to be in the land of the living again & start exercising…soon. Thanks for all the love. Stay safe!”

It’s so good to hear that she’s on the mend! All good thoughts and prayers for her speedy, complete recovery!
Great news!!! Glad she is on the mend and making jokes!!! My thoughts and prayers are with her daily and hope she is able to get bac to her life again ASAP!
Michael-Have the powers that be at TY&TR made any decisions on how to deal with Jeanne’s absence?
David they will probably write her in a coma with this brain tumor. Let’s face it the show is all about Steve Burton/Dylan now. FV & RC I wish I could pay you to take this guy back to GH.
It always feels good to hear good news!
Hahaha she flipped the bird! I love Jeanne Cooper
thank GOD for answering our prayers…………………♥
So glad to hear that Mrs. C’s real life spirit is as feisty as that of her character. All the best from a long time fan.
Very good news in the soap world. We just had a fake funeral for Katherine not so long ago. you bet it is not over until Katherine Chancellor sings. Let’s hope there is a very strong storyline for Mrs. C upon her return!
Her memoir is fun interesting quick read. Enjoy it! I sure did.
Thank god she is recovering fast. I am glad that Jeanne Cooper is making a remarkable recovery.
Wonderful news about a wonderful lady! Look forward to hearing she has returned to work, since she loves it so much. The best vibes, positive thoughts and prayers are being sent her way and for all who surround her in care.
So happy to hear that she is recovering! More good news…………
Jeanne cooper , I am glad you are getting better because I miss you on the show. hurry back. love one of your fans.
So, so happy to hear you’re on the mend! I’ve watched you on Y & R my whole life and it just wouldn’t be the same without you! Be well!
Glad to hear she is on the mend, will continue to pray for her as she continues her journey to a full recovery. I hope she does not rush things– and I hope Y&R will wait for her to return and not do anything drastic to the character Katherine in her absence. I have a feeling if they did, Jeanne’s fans will give them hell for her.
So glad Jeanne is on the mend.
We fans love her so much.
That she flipped the “bird” does not surprise – I think even Mrs.C might do that.
Keep on ,keeping on !!
I am glad to hear she is better but I have this awful feeling deep inside that she is very ill. Keep you in my prayers Duchess!
