Bach Was To Have Performed At Ben Jones’ Club In Nashville, TN This Weekend

Bach was set to perform at Jones’ club, known as “Cooter’s Garage” in Nashville, this Saturday and Sunday. The actress, famous for her role as Daisy Duke throughout all seven seasons of The Dukes of Hazzard, was scheduled to participate in a meet-and-greet on both days.

Sadly, due to her hospitalization, those plans have been delayed, and updates will be provided soon. Currently, no further information regarding Bach’s health has been disclosed. Keep an eye out for updates as more details emerge.

Catherine First Appeared As Anita Lawson In 2012

Fans might also recall Bach for her recurring role as Anita Lawson on The Young and the Restless from 2012 to 2019.

Anita was a con artist who, at one point, married Jeffrey Bardwell (Ted Shackleford), but they separated before she could inform him of her pregnancy. She raised their daughter, Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan), by herself, teaching her the art of deception.

Chelsea even dropped out of high school at 16 so that she and her mother could con people together. However, Anita never revealed to Chelsea that Jeffrey was her father, as she hadn’t seen him in many years. 

Chelsea Returned To Genoa City In 2019, After Reconciling With Anita Offscreen

Eventually, Anita and Chelsea parted ways but both ended up in Genoa City; Chelsea later left with her son Connor Newman (Judah Mackey) and moved in with Anita, who had also left town.

In summer 2019, Chelsea returned to Genoa City and revealed she had left Connor with her mother; she soon missed her son and asked her mother to bring him back. Anita returned to Genoa City with Connor-when Chelsea offered to share her inheritance from her late husband, Calvin Boudreau (John Burke), she became suspicious when Anita refused.

Later, Anita confessed to taking millions from the estate, leading Chelsea to kick her out, and Anita went back to Louisiana.

Since leaving the CBS daytime drama, she has appeared on Hawaii Five-0 and Almost Royal; we send our best wishes and healing thoughts to Catherine Bach.
