What a treat for Soaps.com readers! With the help of Deanna Barnert from our sister site, Soap Opera Fan, we were able to connect with the incredible actress Jeanne Cooper, who plays Katherine Chancellor! As all fans of The Young and the Restless know, Jeanne was named this year's Outstanding Lead Actress at the Daytime Emmy Awards. Unbelievably, even though she had been presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award previously, this was Jeanne's first Emmy Award in all of her years in daytime television! Here's what Jeanne had to say about her win - find the entire interview at Soaps.com!

Soaps.com Visits the Set of The Young and The Restless!


As reported, earlier in the week, here, Soaps.com was offered a set visit at CBS's The Young and The Restless , October of 2007, and of course we responded with a .... hell no! Even after all the begging and pleading and offering me a walk on role, I turned up my nose.... Okay, this is how it really happened.... They offered, I replied..."Uh... " Confused by my silence, they thought I wasn't a fan... wasn't a fan of Y&R? I was too busy fantasizing about sitting on the Abbott sofa and wandering through the Chancellor Mansion set, to say yes, yes, yes! Read about the entire set visit at Soaps.com!

Hosting the 19th annual Days of Our Lives Celebrity Basketball Game, James Reynolds (Abe) invited many of his castmates to show off their athletic abilities for a good cause. Benefiting the South Pasadena High School basketball program and Reynolds' own Fremont Centre Theatre, fans of Days had the opportunity to attend the game, bid on several auction items and of course mingle with their favorite Salemites.
