Hearing speculation that Sara Haines might, yet again, be exiting. This is disappointing news. I enjoy her banter at the table and was happy when she returned once GMA3 was rightfully canceled.
As for Debbie Matenopoulos' return, I will state this: Home & Family was more her speed and the kind of platform that worked well for her. That being said, when she reunited with Joy Behar, Star Jones and Meredith Viera some years back, she did quite well on the panel.

Personally speaking, if Haines does leave, then Matenopoulos is the go-to. If she doesn't, then I don't see why she would be brought on. If I am being honest, I would rather see Ana Navarro-Cárdenas be given a full-time seat at The View.

I agreed. I'd love to see her back.

 

If Haines does leave again that would suck. I don't really see her as 'high profile' as much as I adore her. But I guess she could be considering her run on GMA and hosting The Chase in primetime. High profile exit to me would be Whoopi or Joy. My guess would be Joy retiring in the future.

 

They'd probably like some familiarty at the table, especially considering it's the 25th.

 

I love Ana. Would love to see her permanently.

 

I can see a 'new table' so to speak being unveiled for the fall. I know it has been doing well but it feels time for a change.

I don't think Ana would want to be full time since her home base is in Florida, and from what I read, there is a mandate to return to the studio come fall.

That's the theory as to why Meghan opted to leave since she seems settled in Washington D.C and probably didn't want to return to NYC.

Haines has 3 small kids... none of which are eligible for the vaccine.. so I can see why she probably wouldn't want to go back into the studio again.  

Debbi was in her early 20s when she was on originally.. and was kind of ditz.  However, time and wisdom have probably matured her.. and Home & Family seems like a toxic place (though so is the View LOL).

Didn't watch when Debbi was on the show.   I can take or leave Sara Haines.  Sometimes I cannot stand Meghan McCain, and sometimes like her, but ok with her going.   I do hope Ana would become a regular, but also doubt it, since she's Florida based like Soaplovers states.

Haines' last exit was entirely due to GMA3, and the moment that got canceled she was back on The View, so I honestly don't see TPTB firing her, unless it was to completely re-mold the panel around Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin. Plus, they lost Behar once... I don't see them willingly losing her, especially since I believe she enjoys the job so much. Had Meghan McCain not left I am sure retirement would've happened.

I'd love to see a warmer-feeling set, honestly. And they should try to bring back the couch interviews.

Home & Family does sound like it was toxic. 

 

I have no problem with Debbie. I liked her and she's grown a lot, she fills the role Sara plays for sure. It was nice seeing her back at the table with the other OGs a few years back. I just don't see her wanting it full time but who knows? Money talks.

 

And that's true about going back into the studio.

 

Although Haines was in the studio before. I don't see her rushing to leave after just coming back but stranger things have happened. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part she doesn't leave? lol 

 

I would love a new warmer set as well. It feels cold.

 

I agree on the couch.

 

Joy may not want to go back into the studio. But she does love the show and I imagine Meghan leaving might extend her stay and lessen the chances of retirement.

 

Whoopi has recently said they'd basically have to drag her dead body away from the show so unless they tell her she can't do an acting gig, she's not going anywhere. But she does commute to the studio.

    • I have no idea why Gio would go to Sonny first since he told Emma he thought Sonny knew about him all along. Maybe to clarify if Sonny knew?  Considering Sonny didn't know Dante was his son back then it doesn't really matter. I am sure Sonny will make some wise parallel about his father leaving and his mother dying or being lied to by Olivia and Gio will see the light.
    • I know I have heard Orpheus mention it, at least in passing.  I still don't know why exactly he hates John though.  It seems Orpheus was heavily leaning into a Stefano moment of Marlena obsession, but then he always wanted to murder her a bunch so it's unclear.
    • I always thought that whoever pitched his return story in 2016 just didn't do their homework, and didn't know that the real Roman was the one who killed Orpheus' wife.
    • Xander is Victor's son, but thought he was his nephew until Victor's will.  His mom is an alcoholic who ran Sarah down then left town.  He's got a kid with Sarah and then is related to the rest of the Kiriakis brood. I would argue Orpheus lost his purpose years ago.  I lost the plot with Orpheus when his entire beef was with John and not Roman.  The person who actually killed his wife. Too be kind I'll just say it looks like Chandler was a bit out of practice at the old acting game.  He's never stopped smirking.
    • He is Victor's son so Bo and Philip are his brothers and Brady and Shawn are his nephews. Justin has remained his first cousin

    • -- I didn't want to be the first person to mention it, because I've complained so much about Chandler Massey's smirking and grinning in the past. He just cannot get through a scene without breaking -- that grin broke through every time he ran into another character today. He looks young -- and good -- but I am not a fan of this acting. He's not trying. -- I agree with others here about this goodbye. The bandaged John is a throwback and a full circle moment, but it's gone on too many days already. I especially hate the "He's getting better" stuff. That doesn't work since we all know how this ends. -- I'm glad to see the return of all these characters and I love the flashbacks, but I think DAYS could have done all that without the bandaged exit.
    • That's the one thing I really dislike about all this. Orpheus should not be alive.  If anything, I hope he's erased from existence from here on. He has no purpose now that John is dead. 
    • Yeah, it's so undignified. And looked it! But man, you can tell Stephen Nichols, etc. are not acting. They should've canned the fake voice guy at the very least. Great, now I have to try to remember who the fúck Xander is related to.
    • I am the first to say I don't have the perfect scenario for John's death in my head.  I think it would have had something to do with saving the world from Orpheus and killing Orpheus once and for all, but losing his own life in the effort. I am actually sad Orpheus is still alive and well doing dastardly deeds.  I GET the saving Bo idea.  I just am not sure I want to say, "Oh, yeah, John died in a meth lab.  Some kid attacked him and he burned to death" I love all the actors coming back to pay tribute.  It's lovely.  I think it would have been smarter for Marlena, Kayla, etc to say this is grave for John-it's time to say goodbye.  Not add in all the "he's doing great and on the road to recovery".  I assume it's a nod to Drake about always fighting, but, man, if you didn't know Drake had passed the rug would be pulled out from under you next week as an audience member.
