“Attention ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ family! I just texted Catherine, and thankfully, she responded right away,” John Schneider, who played Bo Duke on the classic CBS series, wrote on Facebook on Thursday, Oct. 30.

“Yes, she is in the hospital, but she assures me that she is going to be fine,” the actor, 65, continued. “She appreciates all our prayers and support and is truly disappointed not to be traveling this weekend. We love you, Catherine!”

Tom Wopat, who starred as Luke Duke for all seven seasons of the classic series, shared more words of support to Bach in a touching social media post of his own on Friday, Oct. 31.

“Tom and the Wopat Webcrew are sending our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Catherine Bach, who was recently hospitalized,” Wopat, 74, wrote on Instagram alongside a throwback photo of himself and the actress.

“Wishing her comfort and a full, speedy recovery,” he added.

Ben Jones, who played mechanic Cooter Davenport in “The Dukes of Hazzard” for its entire run from 1979 to 1985, was the first to reveal that Bach, 71, had been hospitalized.

The actor-turned-politician, 84, took to Facebook last week to announce that Bach had been “admitted to the hospital in Los Angeles on an emergency basis.”

He added that the Daisy Duke actress suffered “an embolism” that most likely developed “as a result of a recent surgery.”

“We will keep you posted, and Catherine will share her story as soon as she is recovered,” he wrote in the since-deleted Facebook post, per Parade.

“She is so, so sorry to have to cancel her appearance at Cooter’s this weekend,” Jones and his wife, Alma, added. “Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.”

Cooter’s Place, a series of museums and gift shops owned by Jones and dedicated to “The Dukes of Hazzard” show, was scheduled to host Bach for a movie night at its Nashville, Tennessee, location on Saturday, per its official website.

However, the establishment took to Facebook on Friday to announce that Bach’s appearance was canceled “due to unforeseen circumstances.”

“Catherine and Cooter’s Place are very sorry for any inconvenience,” the message read. “We will reschedule and announce the new date as soon as it’s set. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.”

The Post has reached out to Bach’s rep for comment.

Bach starred as Daisy Duke on “The Dukes of Hazzard” from its inception in 1979 to its final episode in 1985.

Following 140 episodes of the beloved program, and 40 years after it ended, she remained proud of the sassy character that made the Daisy Duke shorts famous.

“We’ve managed to entertain people after all this time. And now it’s a hit on Amazon. It’s just wonderful,” Bach said during an interview with Fox News back in 2019. “This is what the show was about – entertaining people.”

“I’ve done a lot of different things since that show, but this part somehow continues to connect with people,” she added at the time. “It just makes me proud. And I just love meeting the fans.”
