Judith Chapman Returns to 'The Young and the Restless' as Gloria Bardwell on December 21

Judith Chapman

Judith Chapman is returning to CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless as Gloria Bardwell after a 21-month absence. The character will hit town without warning on Christmas Eve (airing Wednesday, December 21). A show rep tells TV Insider that “the reason for Gloria’s return may not be clear at first but we can count on her stirring up trouble for her sons, Michael and Kevin.”

Chapman teased her return in an interview with TV Insider.

"I can tell you that Gloria wants to be reunited with her sons," Chapman revealed. "She has always been led by her heart. That’s why she followed Jeffrey to the ends of the Earth, but it’s time to be with her boys, especially because it’s Christmas. And, of course, Gloria will have the perfect dramatic entrance. She just shows up. Unannounced. Uninvited. Maybe unwelcome."

Max Adler & Judith Chapman Shooting Indie Film 'Saugatuck Cures' in Western Michigan

Production has kicked off on indie film Saugatuck Cures, starring Max Adler (Dave, GLEE; Tank, SWITCHED AT BIRTH) and Judith Chapman (Gloria, THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS).

Saugatuck Cures is a comedy about a widowed bed and breakfast owner, Maggie Callaghan (Chapman), living in Saugatuck dealing with a second round of cancer. When she can't afford treatment, Maggie's gay son Drew (Adler) becomes determined to raise money for her treatment, yet doesn't have the slightest idea of how to do it.

CLASSIC ATWT Photo of the Day: Tom/Carol/Jay/Natalie

In addition to the popular Kim/Dan/Susan/John quadrangle in the mid 1970s on AS THE WORLD TURNS, we had the younger quadrangle of Tom (C. David Colson), Carol (Rita Walter), Jay (Dennis Cooney) and Natalie (Judith Chapman).

Tom and Carol's marriage hit the skids when Tom commenced an affair with client Natalie and then married her. Natalie cheated on Tom with Jay, and Natalie and Tom divorced, while Jay later had a few rocky but happy married years to Carol before being killed in an accident at Brad Hollister's mine.

David Colson became a writer after his ATWT stint, while Rita Walter gave up acting and became an optometrist. Dennis Cooney, who'd been on several soaps prior to ATWT, including SECRET STORM and LOVE OF LIFE, didn't act much after ATWT and died a few years ago. Judith Chapman started her daytime career on ATWT and has since appeared on several shows, including RYAN'S HOPE, GENERAL HOSPITAL, DAYS OF OUR LIVES and currently on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS.

Night of the Iguana with Judith Chapman, Part Two

In Part One of our two-part interview with THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS star Judith Chapman (Gloria), the busy actress discussed her new play, "Night of the Iguana," that will be playing November 7 and 8 in Los Angeles. In Part Two, Chapman explains where she find the energy to do so many projects.

We Love Soaps: So I’m sitting here thinking, "Wow, here’s this person who portrays this wonderful role on YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, and is out there in her spare time producing plays, and doing all this wonderful fundraising and charity work." Where do you find the energy?
Judith Chapman: I don’t know. Today is my first full cup of coffee I’ve had in months. I was just born with ungodly amounts of energy and organizational skills. I get if from my father. Whenever I go into a project or start directing or putting a show together, I always get everyone together and say, “I want you to know two things. My father is a retired air force general. And I was raised by nuns. Now let’s get to work.” So I don’t know, it’s a blessing and a curse. I’m always asking what is my next project? This one I’m not directing and it’s coming together a little late. I know it’s hard for people to come out from the East Coast but anybody who is [coming], punch in the “Y&R” code, get a $20 discount, and just have a fun afternoon or evening of theater and a great party.

Night of the Iguana with Judith Chapman, Part One

Judith Chapman has been a daytime favorite for decades with starring roles on AS THE WORLD TURNS, DAYS OF OUR LIVES, GENERAL HOSPITAL and now THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS (as Gloria). She has also made a name for herself in primetime television and film. The talented actress is also the founder of The Troubadours of Daytime, whose next show, "The Night of the Iguana," will be playing November 7 and 8 in Los Angeles. Chapman spoke with We Love Soaps this week about the project.

We Love Soaps: Tell me about this play!
Judith Chapman: I’m sure you are familiar with Tennessee Williams. “Night of the Iguana” is just a great, great play. It was also made into a fabulous film with Ava Gardner, Richard Burton, Deborah Kerr. I will be playing the Ava Gardner part. Christian LeBlanc [Michael, Y&R] will be playing Shannon, the defrocked sacrilegious drunken naughty lusty woman, or rather, young-chick-after priest, who is always getting himself into trouble. And the wonderful Alley Mills from BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL will be playing the Deborah Carr part. And her real life husband Orson Bean will be playing Alley’s grandfather who is the last living poet in America. It all takes place in this seedy hotel in Mexico, and they are all just damaged people trying to survive and trying to find a little love.

It is a staged reading as The Troubadors of Daytime. But as soap actors we’re so good at learning lines so quickly that a lot of it we’re off book. There’s a lot of staging. We use props. We use costumes. It’s as close to being a full-on production that we can manage with our tight schedules and getting everybody coordinated. This is our third fundraiser and our second for Rogue Machine Theater, which is considered the hottest new theater company in Los Angeles. I’m a member, and they’ve actually just asked me to be on the Board of Directors. We only do original work on the mainstage theater. It’s just so exciting. The Los Angeles Times, Variety, so many people are calling us the hottest new theater company. But because of the economy, the economic climate, and because of production costs, people don’t realize we don’t get paid to do this. We are absolutely doing this for love of the theater. It’s having a theater that gives young, and not so young, playwrights a place to premiere their work.

So doing a fundraiser is really about getting production costs. Now I know this is short notice. But there is a Y&R discount. It’s about coming and spending an afternoon with your favorite soap actors and these other legendary people in the theater, who now want to work with us, the Troubadours, like Orson Bean, and the great Sandy Martin, who played the grandmother in Napoleon Dynamite and is on BIG LOVE now. And then drink lots of champagne afterward, what more can I tell you?
