It’s not confirmed — and likely won’t be until the office ABC announcements come next Tuesday or Wednesday at the semi-annual Television Critics Association meetings in L.A — but there are strong indications Rosie O’Donnell will be returning to the panel on “The View.”
First reported by TMZ, it seems the veteran comic and talk show personality has inked a deal to bring her back to the show she famously exited with much rancor in April, 2007 — after messy dustups with fellow “View-sters” Star Jones and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
O’Donnell will reportedly be announced along with two other co-hosts — to join the only remaining panelist: Whoopi Goldberg.
