Joy Behar could be back at The View as early as next week as she continues recovering from a dislocated shoulder.
Entertainment Weekly reports that a source familiar with the situation says the longtime cohost is taking time to recover and that the show hopes to have her back at the table next week.
Joy Behar continues recovery
Behar has missed multiple episodes after the shoulder injury. Sunny Hostin has stepped into the moderator role during some of her absence, while Whoopi Goldberg has also been away for separate filming commitments.
The update offers viewers a clearer timeline after days of questions about when Behar might return. The 84-year-old has remained part of the conversation around the show even while recovering, including a lighthearted birthday message shared by her colleagues.
The View may soon have Behar back at the table
No exact episode has been officially announced for her return, so the timetable remains dependent on her recovery. The latest report, however, indicates that her absence is expected to be temporary rather than an extended leave.
Behar has been one of the defining personalities of The View across multiple eras of the ABC daytime program. Her eventual return will restore one of the show’s most familiar voices to the panel.
