Y&R's Jeanne Cooper: "I'm Not Here So Katherine Can Serve Rice Pudding"
By Jillian Bowe on August 31, 2010
The Young and the Restless' Jeanne Cooper (Katherine) is fired up and isn't holding anything back. In the latest edition of Soap Opera Digest, the actress talked candidly about her character's current state of docility. Said Cooper:
"I had a talk with Maria Arena Bell that this has to stop," huffs Cooper. "There's such a thing when characters move into a secondary position for a small time, but when they do open their mouths, it should mean something. Katherine has never been a floater with, 'Yes, dear,' or 'Oh, I understand.' She says, 'You did it and you deserve it!'
Cooper also voiced her gripes about her storyline with Stephen Nichols (Tucker) falling by the wayside.
