Rosie O’Donnell set for guest spot on ‘The View’

Rosie O’Donnell is returning to “The View,” the ABC talk show she abruptly left in 2007 after clashing with her co-hosts and producers.

O’Donnell will be a guest on the show during the February sweeps period on Friday, Feb. 7. It’s her first appearance on “The View” since co-hosting Season 10 in 2006-07.

“I have great affection for Rosie and we have remained in contact through the years,” said “The View” co-host/executive producer Barbara Walters in making the announcement. “I am happy to welcome her back to the program. She is always a lively and engaging guest and a part of the show’s successful history.”

O’Donnell is currently guest-starring on ABC Family’s “The Fosters” as Rita Hendricks, a tough yet compassionate woman who works in the foster care system and is a mentor to a member of the Foster family.
