Has THE VIEW definitively filled the void made when Rosie O'Donnell left? According to Whoopi Goldberg, they may have- times two.

On Thursday's episode, co-host Goldberg stated that favorite guest hosts Raven Symone and Michelle Collins would return to the show the next day and hopefully be there to stay. "We are trying to make it permanent," said the EGOT-winner, "So write in to everybody." ABC has not told viewers that they have an impact on the decision, nor has the network made any official announcements about the comediennes yet.
