Former co-host Jenny McCarthy expressed her feelings towards O'Donnell's return.

"I love Rosie. I have been a fan of hers forever. I knew they were looking to bring some heat to the table and there is no doubt that will Rosie there will be some heat. They are definitely going in the direction of fire," McCarthy told reporters Friday, according to Us Weekly.

"It's going to be some exciting television," she said. "I will be there with my beer and popcorn at 11 in the morning. I can't wait to see how it plays out."

According to People Magazine, having O'Donnell in The View once again is sort of "a vindication" for the 52-year-old comedian. She left the show after an on-air feud with former co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck in 2007.Hasselbeck, who expressed her annoyance with the news, is reportedly not surprised that O'Donnell is coming back to The View.

"I think this has been in the works for a long time," she told her "Fox & Friends" co-hosts when she called up to dig on her ill-famed fight with the comedienne. According to E! News, though Hasselbeck may sound bitter, she is much happier on a different network.

"I could not be more thankful to be at Fox & Friends. You all are an outstanding group," she said. "I'm so thankful. Days like this remind me of that. You're all doing a great job. Mark my words; this is just the beginning-again!"

NY Daily News noted that McCarthy also teased to a "big announcement," possibly about her future, speaking to reporters Friday." Everyone should do something they love doing, but that shows off their strengths and have fun while doing it."
