Sara Haines<\/a> was unexpectedly absent from Monday\u2019s (September 29) live episode of\u00a0The View<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The panelist, who is usually present from Monday through Friday (unlike cohosts Whoopi Goldberg<\/a>, Joy Behar<\/a>, and Ana Navarro<\/a>, who each have select days off each week), was missing from the morning lineup, and Goldberg explained that she had to appear for jury duty.<\/p>\n

Haines first joined The View<\/em> as a full-time member of the hosting lineup in 2016, during Season 20, but left the show in 2018 ahead of Season 22 so that she could become a part of\u00a0 Good Morning America Day<\/em>, which was later renamed\u00a0Strahan & Sara<\/em> (and\u00a0then Strahan, Sara & Keke<\/em> when Keke Palmer<\/a> joined). Haines ultimately returned to The View<\/em> in 2020 for Season 25 and has been a series regular ever since.<\/p>\n

A self-declared independent voter, Haines remains one of the neutral voices of the hosting panel. The Iowa native is known for bringing the perspectives of non-partisan voters in political discussions to counter her cohosts, who are more defined in their political leanings.<\/p>\n

Before\u00a0The View<\/em>, Haines\u2019 career began at NBC, where she was a network page before becoming a production coordinator on Today<\/a><\/em> and, eventually, a correspondent for that show. She later became a contributor for ABC News. She also hosted the game show The Chase\u00a0<\/em>and the network\u2019s hidden camera show\u00a0What Would You Do?<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Haines returned as part of\u00a0The View<\/em>\u2018s Season 29 panel (alongside Goldberg, Behar, Navarro, Sunny Hostin<\/a>, and Alyssa Farah Griffin<\/a>) in September after the show announced no new changes to the lineup, despite some rumors circulating over the summer that there might be a mix-up in the cast<\/p>\n

It is unclear when she will return, but some of her cohosts suspected she might get chosen for the full jury trial at hand. \u201cLet\u2019s not wish that on her,\u201d Goldberg said of the possibility.<\/p>\n
