A New "View" Starts Today

RippedMan said: "What did Collins do that made her so busy? I didn't know about her before the show started, but thought she was one of the fan favorites? 

 

"

she's not busy. They're just not putting her on the show & I'd guess and say she's basically been fired though her name still appears in the opening credits. Haines & Sunny > Collins & Bure.

Familiar to casting shakeups, The View also had to shoot down rumors that Raven-Symonéwas leaving the panel, calling the idea "ridiculous."

"Ratings are up," a spokesperson told E! News at the time. "We are very happy with the team we have. Raven is a great addition to the panel."

So I guess Raven's coming back then?  Nothing about Bure yet.

I'm guessing the new season panel will be Whoopi, Joy, Paula, Raven, and Sara, with Sunny and Jedediah continuing to rotate part time  as needed.

The single worst year in the show's history, with the musical chairs only creating a sense of disarray and volatility. On any given day, it's a mismatched 4 or 5, the fill-in-du-jour plugging some project or explaining an absence (when no one in the audience asked, the presumption of curiosity about off-screen activities is bizarre). Without a cohesive, recurring group, no chemistry develops, the show becomes a free-for-all inviting the loudest or most cranked-up to compete for air time. It feels as if the line-up is in perpetual audition mode. Many days, the 4th or 5th chair seat-warmer simply sits smiling through most of the show. Everything that went into the original recipe -- a group of women who know one another and share differing takes on topics and bring oppositional approaches to interviewing celebrity guests -- is long gone. Most off-putting: having panelists who are so woefully uninformed (we need not name names) that others must constantly fact-check and correct strange, baseless assumptions and provocative misstatements. It was always a forum for smart, up-to-speed informal pundits. It's devolved into a crass grab-bag of over-sharing.

FYI, Collins has been removed from the show's website. Bure remains.

The Paula/Joy friction has escalated in the last two days.  Who saw the tension surrounding Joy's takedown of the Evangelicals supporting Trump (Wednesday)?  The return from break when the whole table was clearly contentious.  Paula was subdued the rest of the show.  Joy's been much more aggressive taking her on, which has been satisfying to watch.  I still can't get past Paula's bizarre behavior in the early days of the Flint water crisis, her ludicrous admonition that no one "get political," demonstrating zero knowledge that "politics" serves a constituency.

After watching the show today I noticed Collins has also been removed from the opening credits. Guess she's officially fired.

Candi said she wouldn't be returning to the show, thus explaining her removal. 

[ACL2006]

Candi? I'm assuming you mean Candace Cameron-Bure. She's still listed on the show's website & her name still comes up during the opening credits. Bure hasn't been let go. Yet.

I think Candi is in reference to Candi Carter, the show's Executive Producer who put out a statement saying Collins was "leaving the show."
