It's official! ABC confirms Rosie O'Donnell returns as co-host of #TheView w/ moderator Whoopi Goldberg for Season 18 pic.twitter.com/oRCAcxAZE5— The View (@theviewtv) July 10, 2014
O'Donnell served on the panel in 2006-07 before leaving the show, in part due to her frequent dust-ups with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck, who, by the way, had a lot to say about O'Donnell's then-unofficial return to The View earlier this week.
Calling into Fox & Friends, where she is a co-host, from her "staycation," Hasselbeck said she was not surprised by the rumored return. "I think this has been in the works for a long time," she said.

O'Donnel joins the panel just one week after Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy announced their departures. After the change-up was made public, ABC released a statement saying the show would be "moving in an exciting new direction next season." Or, perhaps, not so new.
