The Future of The View: Who’s Staying and Who Might Be Leaving?
With several The View co-hosts facing contract expirations this season, fans are eager to know who will be returning for Season 29. Among those awaiting contract renewals are Sunny Hostin, Whoopi Goldberg, and Joy Behar. Meanwhile, ABC is experimenting with a new spinoff, The Weekend View, adding even more speculation about the show’s future lineup.
After a brief hiatus, Whoopi Goldberg recently made her return, relieving Joy Behar from her temporary role as moderator. Goldberg had taken time off to attend Paris Fashion Week, where she debuted a fresh new look. However, her absence fueled rumors that both she and Behar might be exiting the show for good.

Whoopi Goldberg Addresses Firing Rumors
Recent speculation about potential cast shake-ups prompted Goldberg to address the audience directly at the end of a recent episode. Taking a moment before wrapping the show, she made a bold declaration.
“If you happen to see things written on the internet saying Joy and I are fired, we are not fired! We are still here!” Goldberg announced, shutting down the gossip.
Behar, seizing the moment with her signature humor, laughed and added a playful, “Sorry!”—a message seemingly directed at critics hoping for their departure.
Notably absent from Goldberg’s reassurance was any mention of Sunny Hostin. As of now, there’s been no official confirmation regarding Hostin’s return. Adding to the uncertainty, Hostin’s husband, Manny, is currently facing legal issues tied to an ongoing insurance fraud case, which could be a factor in contract negotiations.
