Fittingly, Bernsen guest starred as Father Todd, the priest officiating Katherine's service. Katherine's death was eventually revealed to viewers, reported Today, with her memorial service airing that September. Speaking with TV Guide (as reported by TVLine), "Y&R" exec producer Jay Farren Phelps revealed that episodes had already been written into July, "so it will take some time before we can address departure on air." During the interim, she explained, scripts noted that Katherine and her husband were traveling.
According to Soap Opera Digest, Cooper taped her final scene on March 26, but it didn't air until May 3 - just five days before her death. Because episodes of "The Young and the Restless" don't air until about six weeks after they're shot, Cooper's character, Katherine Chancellor, had recently undergone successful surgery to remove a brain tumor.
As Entertainment Weekly reported, her son, actor Corbin Bernsen, took to social media to confirm that she died on May 8, 2013. The following year, she was hospitalized due to an undisclosed ailment, and died within weeks.
