Elisabeth Hasselbeck will return to The View on Oct. 19, ABC confirmed Wednesday.
The conservative — and often controversial chatterbox — took maternity leave from ABC’s feminine gabfest two days before giving birth to her third child, Isaiah Timothy, with NFL player husband Tim Hasselbeck on Aug. 9. Elisabeth’s return ends more than a month of appearances from celebrity guest hosts, including La Toya Jackson, Kate Gosselin, and Heidi Montag.
“I’ve lost my political opposite,” said co-host Joy Behar.
“The other people were nice, but they weren’t her,” Whoopi Goldberg added.
