Kurphy Wedding!

Katherine and Murphy Wed
Thanks to Daytime Royalty

Tricia Cast and Beau Kayzer return to Y&R as Brock and Nina as Katherine finally prepares to wed Murphy. Katherine is overjoyed when Brock arrives in Genoa City just in time to officiate the wedding. “I love the mother/son dynamic I have with Beau,” praises Jeanne Cooper. “It comes so easily and really feels like we are family. I so enjoy working with him.”

Kay’s bridesmaids, Amber and Mac, work to ensure that everything runs smoothly for the ceremony while Billy wrestles with whether or not to bring Chloe. At the same time, matron-of-honor Nikki tries talking Jill into attending the wedding, even though Jill is still sore about learning they’re not related. Jill confesses that she misses having Katherine around, but she’s not sure attending the wedding is a good idea. “It’s gotten to the point where any time they’re together, an argument breaks out,” sighs Cooper.

Lonely and trying to get her mind off the wedding, Jill goes to the GCAC bar and runs into Gloria and Jeffrey. Rather than continuing with her animosity, Jill sets it all aside and drowns her sorrows with them.

Later, most of Genoa City arrives for the wedding. “I think it will be fun and incredibly moving for the audience,” says Co-Head Writer Scott Hamner. “You just don’t expect to meet a kindred soul and fall in love the way Murphy and Kay have. We love the character Jeanne Cooper plays so much that we wanted to give her a romantic story. She’s doing such a fabulous job.”

Cooper agrees. “I love the idea of having this story where it’s not about age. There are plenty of people out there who are at a certain age where they’re still vital and active, and still have a romantic life. I love that Y&R is willing to show this with Kay. She definitely wasn’t looking for a relationship, but realizes what a wonderful man Murphy is.”
