'The View' Cast 2016: Three Co-Hosts Expected To Leave Series, But Who Is Staying? [VIDEO]
Fans might want to prepare to say goodbye to a few co-hosts on The View.
On Wednesday, Daily Mail reported that one particular contestant was rumored to leave, but that's not the case anymore as she has signed a $2.5 million deal to stay.
Whoopi Goldberg has apparently signed a one-season deal to continue her time on the talk show. But who is expected to leave?
It appears that Raven Symone, Michelle Collins and Candace Cameron Bure are planning to depart from the series sometime in the summer. It's unclear on exactly when it might happen, but it's supposed to be sometime now up to mid-July.
As for Goldberg, it seems that she wanted to leave the show, but one of the reasons why she keeps staying is because she gets paid well.
"Despite telling everyone she was leaving the show, someone talked sense into Whoopi about walking away and leaving all that money on the table," a source said. "Though she has numerous outside ventures in addition to 'The View,' none of them bring in the payday she gets for her work on the show. Besides, she knew Joy [Behar] was gunning for her position and Whoopi is very competitive and didn't want to turn things over that easily."
The site added that Bure will be available for the first three months of the show and is going to be focusing more on her acting work, including future episodes of Netflix series Fuller House.
"She hates the commute and being away from the family," a source said. "Between Fuller House and those Hallmark Channel movies she does, she'd rather focus on being an actress."
There's no official word on who could be replacements, but one contender is reportedly Good Morning America correspondent Sara Haines.
