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.”

Jessica Tuck Returns This Week To General Hospital
There will be a Cassandra Pierce sighting in Port Charles, which means one of the best actresses we know, Jessica Tuck, will be back on your screens this week on ABC’s General Hospital.
Tuck, who became soap-famous for her role as Megan on One Life to Live from 1988-1992 and then went on to primetime television roles returns to the canvas as the evil Cassandra, a role she debuted on GH back in 2017. Viewers last saw her pop during Michael (Chad Duell) and Sasha’s (Sofia Matteson)vacation.
But this time look for Tuck to mix-it up with GH icon Genie Francis (Laura) in some major showdown scenes, when she holds the mayor and Curtis (Donnell Turner) at gunpoint on the Haunted Star. Will these two be able to get the on-the-run villainess locked up for good? Don’t necessarily count on it.
Of course, a man who both Cassandra and Laura have an interest in bringing down, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) plays heavy into the story. But will Cassandra do a double-cross of a double-cross? Who else may get a dose of something potentially lethal that she has been concocting?
Jessica told Soap Opera Digest that when she found out she would be working with Genie Francis; “I was like Woo-hoo! Hot diggity! I mean, like many people, I have been a fan of hers forever and ever and ever. It was fun to meet the person behind the character I’ve gotten to know.”
So, excited to know Cassandra is back in Port Charles? What do you hope happens next for her, Laura, Curtis and Valentin? Comment below.

Judith expressed to all that helped her have a successful career: “The fact is, if you were not in my life, the dream of this little girl sitting alone in her room in Trenton, N.J., reading plays and acting out Shakespeare passages, would never have come to pass. All of you have made and are continuing to make the powerful difference in my life and the lives of so many others So, I say to all of you with deep and profound gratitude, thank you. You remind me of who we all really and truly are. We are each other’s star.”

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.

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.
