Elisabeth Hasselbeck back on 'The View' Oct. 19

The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — ABC says Elisabeth Hasselbeck will be back on "The View" on Oct. 19.

Hasselbeck has been off the daytime talk show since Aug. 7 — two days before she gave birth to her third child, Isaiah Timothy. She's married to former NFL player Tim Hasselbeck.

Since then, her only contact with viewers was last Thursday, when she phoned "The View" to chat on-air with fellow hosts Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar (BAY'-hahr) and Sherri Shepherd.

During Hasselbeck's maternity leave, numerous guests have filled in. Upcoming subs include "The Hills" star Heidi Montag, former "View" co-host Lisa Ling, "Ugly Betty" star Ana Ortiz, newly married TV reality star Khloe Kardashian and "Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco.

  • Stopped watching The View since EH's return. What makes her think that anyone cares about her sex life and when she will get "knocked up" again. Her words, not mine. She's sickening. I'm so happy that I can watch Joy on her own show now. Why doesn't...

  • Stopped watching The View yesterday. I guess you know why. I enjoyed Elisabeth's vacation as much as she did, maybe more, I didn't have 3 babies to care for. Sorry, goodbye to The View.

  • It's time to stop watching my favorite show again. I won't mind to have her absent for another year or two. The best thing is to be gone forever from the TV appearance.

    • My day hasn't been a good one so far and I just want to say thanks for nothing. I was so hoping she was going to FoxNews.
