The L.A. Law alum went on Facebook to remember his late mother, Jeanne Cooper, who portrayed grande dame Katherine Chancellor for 40 years. The General Hospital and Ryan’s Hope alum wrote, “I miss you and wish every second of every day you were here.”
He went on, “You taught me how to share the table where we eat, the roof overhead that protects [us] from the storm and the kindness in each of our hearts that welcomes the stranger into our home.”
Bernsen appeared on The Young and the Restless as Paul William’s (Doug Davidson) brother, Father Todd. He wrote about his mom, “Happy birthday, sweet, dear woman. Teacher. Protector. Survivor. On one hand, I miss you and wish every second of every day you were here so I can share my most inner thoughts with you.”
He added that he feels blessed that she isn’t here to see and experience the times we are all living through: “At my darkest moments, I call upon my memories of you, and what we had discussed in living times, to ease me through.”
Bernsen noted of his legendary mom, “These are dark times, and though you would have easily navigated them with direct and clear ‘[Bleep] yous’ to those worthy of that tongue, I remain happy that you are free of that.”
In closing the actor, who also appeared on, noted that Cooper would have been “90 something, and I’m sure during the day, I’ll figure a TV show that could be called that and reflect on greater minds that steered greater times.”
