WHOOPI OUT? The View fans fear Whoopi Goldberg is taking extended break from show this year after spotting tell-tale ‘sign’
The critically-acclaimed actress, 70, has been a part of the panel on the talk show since 2007 and is much-loved by viewers.
It was announced this week that Whoopi is all set to star in a new Netflix comedy movie called ‘Women Like Us’.
She’s teaming up with Jenifer Lewis, Vanessa Williams and Vivica A. Fox and production is slated to begin this fall in New York City.
After the news was revealed, fans have taken to Reddit to express their thoughts about her potentially having to take some time off from The View.
One person penned: “Maybe she’ll take some time off and Joy will do more moderating.

“Or perhaps they’ll use this opportunity to bring in special guest moderators for Season 30.
“Rosie? Meredith? It could be a fun way to celebrate the milestone season.”
Another person wrote: “So she’ll miss some time. Either Joy moderates on Mondays, or the other co-hosts will get to rotate.”
Somebody else expressed: “She has filmed TV shows in the past and she would always still make The View.”
‘I AM SO SORRY’
Yet another commented: “The movie is filming in NYC so maybe she can juggle both.”
Someone else said: “She should be able to. The view finishes at noon and only tapes Monday-Thursday.
“That gives her plenty of time to film scenes for the movie. If it does get to be too much, I’m sure Joy could step in.”
While a sixth added: “Actually for Till and the Steven King show (when she had the white dreads) she missed several weeks.”
Women Like Us follows a recently widowed woman being dragged to the Hamptons by her lifelong best friends and sister on what should have been her 30th anniversary.
The weekend becomes a reckoning, with grief, with marriage, with the sisterhood that’s carried them throughout the years, and with the realization that dreams don’t have an expiration date.
The View first began airing on ABC back in 1997, with Whoopi joining the talk show in 2007.
She’s the show’s longest-serving moderator in the history of the programme.
As the anchor of the panel, she guides the daily “Hot Topics” discussions, breaking down everything from politics to entertainment news alongside her fellow co-hosts.
Her work on the show earned her a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host.
This contribution cemented her status as part of the elite EGOT club, which is when the recipient has been awarded an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and a Tony award.
