Y&R: Jeanne Cooper is very ill.

[jcren]

Sending positive thoughts her way. Get well soon!

Oh, dear. I was afraid of this.

IMO if Cooper goes - and I very much hope she doesn't - you can start calling the whole thing off. The last original axis of Y&R will be gone and Victor, etc. can't sustain it on their own, not with the writing being what it is and has been now for many years. It will be a matter of time, but it will happen.

I just posted the same thing. This board is moving so slow I didn't even see yours.

How scary. I got a dose of the aging parent thing this week so I really feel for both Corbin and Jeanne. No matter how old you are, when your parent is ill, you just become the panicked kid lost at the mall crying for mom or dad.

My father is not at death's door but is now constantly referencing his mortality, having hit his 70s. Appropriately, he uses it to finagle us into doing whatever he wants when he visits. I keep wanting to remind him his father lived to 99 with all his faculties intact, but really I can't do anything but not even deal with it.

Oh God. NO!

I'll be praying for her. I wanna cry right now.

Jeanne is an amazing woman. I've always had the utmost respect for her.

I remember when she was so sick they had to temp recast and came back looking frail.

Damn, i'm so worried Jeanne...

Regardless of what happens, I'll certainly keep Ms. Cooper and her loved ones in my prayers.

Hang tough, Jeanne!

DD's freaking out

@ DD's reaction on Twitter. You can tell he truly loves her like a mom.

This broke my heart. Jeanne Cooper for anybody that considering themselves a true Y&R fan is an absolute goddess. Both on screen and off she is so larger than life and so sharp. Jill and Katherine were a huge part in making me a Y&R fan at such a young age. Before I knew what Y&R was I could recognize their faces (along with Dru, Neil and Malcolm). I will keep her in my prayers.

Tracey Bregman and Daniel Goddard both tweeted they are with her at the hospital and she is stable. Eric Braeden is freaking out too. This is so scary.

This is awful news but I hope she is getting the best care at hospital and will be out soon raring to go?!

The other option... doesn't bear thinking about. I may have not always loved Granny Chancellor and the things she did to Jill but I will always love my fierce and fabulous Miss Jeanne Cooper!
