Jeanne Cooper hospitalized - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The Young and the Restless' Jeanne Cooper is in a Los Angeles hospital in critical but stable condition. Cooper's son, actor/director Corbin Bernsen, took to Facebook and Twitter to ask for prayers for his mom.
Emmy winner Jeanne Cooper (Katherine Chancellor) is in critical but stable condition in the intensive care unit of a Los Angeles area hospital due to an undisclosed medical condition.

Cooper's son, actor/director Corbin Bernsen, took to social media on Friday night to ask for prayers for his mother.

"Need some prayers for my mom tonight. Pretty rough. Won't elaborate now, but I believe there's still more purpose for her on this journey, but that's not my call. I love her so much. I want peace for her," Bernsen wrote. "I hope this is okay to share with all of you who know and love her, you are my friends and in a sense part of my family and community. We talk openly and honestly about a great many things and you have no idea how much comfort it gives me. Know that she's resting peacefully and this is not a message meant to announce finality, not at all, but instead, ask you to have her in you thoughts through the night."

Cooper's fans, friends, costars, and loved ones took to Twitter, Facebook, and other forms of communication to send their wishes for a speedy recovery to the legendary actress. The Young and the Restless' Daniel Goddard (Cane Ashby) and Tracey E. Bregman (Lauren Fenmore) both announced via Twitter that they had visited Cooper in the hospital.

"Jeanne Cooper is still in ICU and is stable yet sedated," Goddard said in his update.

"Love you Jeanne," Bregman said on Twitter, along with a photo of herself with Cooper and Christian LeBlanc (Michael Baldwin). "Praying for you big time!"

"Our thoughts, prayers and love are with Jeanne Cooper and her family as she rests and recovers," Angelica McDaniel, head of CBS Daytime, shared on Twitter.

"Prayers, light, and love to Jeanne Cooper for a speedy recuperation," soapcentral.com posted on its official Twitter feed.

On Saturday, Bernsen offered an update, comparing his feisty mother to the greatest boxers.

"All continues to be stable this morning. Still, hurdles in upcoming hours, but this woman I have been so incredibly fortunate to call my mother, my mentor and honestly my inspiration.... suffice to say the greatest boxers of all time aren't half the fighter she is. I'm just wowed by her tenacity and her sheer will. So many of you have noted that. It's truly awesome," Bernsen said. "I don't know how the day and the days ahead will play out, but I have faith, and between her fight and your -- I'm at a loss for the right word here - miraculous, magnificent? -- support, I'm once again overwhelmed by our potential and humanity. [..] I'll keep you posted throughout the day. But PLEASE keep her in your thoughts... and make sure today to tell the ones you love, that you DO love them. Hold close to you those you love. And perhaps even take a day to forgive and heal friendships and cross divides. You have no idea how powerful your good thoughts are and what can come of using them for goodness and grace. I'm going to whisper into my mom's ear today and let her know of your support. Asleep or awake, I know that she'll smile, that wicked little smile that is only hers!"

In 2011, Cooper took a brief medical leave from the show while she battled what she later referred to as "a nasty bug." Earlier this year, Cooper and much of the cast of The Young and the Restless was hit hard by the flu.

Jeanne Cooper joined the cast of The Young and the Restless in 1973 and quickly established herself as a force in daytime television. Cooper was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2005 Daytime Emmys. Three years later, Cooper won the Outstanding Lead Actress trophy and issued her memorable quip, "Oh, dear. High definition or not high definition. I tell ya, it's a bitch, isn't it?"

In addition to her Emmy win, Cooper has nine other Daytime Emmy nominations.

Many prayers going out to Jeanne. I really hope she is able to recover from whatever the illness is.

Sterling Holobyte · 04-13-2013, 10:37 PM

Oh no! She is one of my favorites. And she really is a cornerstone of Y&R, isn't she?!

Prayers for her and her family.

Jeanne is definitely in my prayers. I love her and the character she plays on Y&R and cannot imagine the show without her. Get better quick, Mrs. Cooper!!!

catlover79 · 04-14-2013, 01:43 PM

God bless Jeanne!!! She's played Katherine since the show's first year in 1973. I hope she gets well soon!!!

I'm praying for Jeanne. She just always came off as a wonderful strong woman. And, I know she'll make it through this. Lord Jesus willing.

My thoughts are with Jeanne. She's fantastic on Young and the Restless!!! Shes the cornerstone of that show.

She IS Y&R!!!

An update from Corbin Bernsen:

Somewhat of an exhausting day with not much change for my mom. Healing is happening but outward signs are small and only visible in numbers I still don't fully understand. I prayed today with her, alone, vocally and assured her it was about recovery and not finality - so important. It seemed to genuinely lift her spirits or something energetic from a quiet place in her soul. Even got something of a smile when I asked for one but her brows suggested more of a "are you out of your ******* mind!" Had a laugh and cry over that. With so many ups and downs I also did some serious questioning about the bigger issues of God and faith, and why a younger fellow next door didn't make it with so many grieving family and friends waiting nearby. Just so odd, so much life actually in full display. I left the place drained, yet assured we are headed in the proper direction. This is truly a time I'll have to learn that we are indeed moving in a direction and there really is no map to guide, and I must put faith and trust in the journey that is an open road with bumps, curves, downhills, uphills and glorious views along the way. Left the hospital somewhat numb by the sheer volume of emotion experienced. For those who need a Cliff Note version of the above.. mom is steady, bumps in the road but heading in the right direction though still without guarantees and the absolutes I long for. Such is life, literally! God Bless all of you for your continued thoughts and prayers. They are the fuel right now and we're tapping into every ounce of it.

"Y&R" Vet Jeanne Cooper Returns to Hospital
by Lynette Rice
May 1 2013

Actress Jeanne Cooper — star of "The Young and the Restless", which earned 23 nominations this morning from the Daytime Emmys — has returned to the hospital due to an undisclosed illness.

Cooper, 84, was recently discharged after spending several weeks in treatment, but her son Corbin Bernsen posted on Facebook that a return was necessary.

“Not sure what to pray for at this point or what we even want for her,” Bernsen wrote.

“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 weight 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 is a fighter and I know she’ll continue that. But when you’re a boxer in the corner, bruised and bloodies from battle and demands to keep going, what do you do? I’m saying my prayers this morning, asking for guidance.”

Cooper has been on the CBS soap since 1973.
