Abby Huntsman to The View

Doesn’t sound like Fox will give her up without a fight
She’d replace Sara Haines, who’s replacing Paula Faris on GMA:

If Abby leaves, who would replace her?
My first vote would go to Heather Childers
I don’t think Jillian Mele is ready
Doubt it would be RCD because she couldn’t do it every weekend
After thinking about it, Molly Line would be a great fit
She has done it before

It's better hours for a new mother, but talk about a hostile working environment

Yeah, being on the opposite side of the majority is tough. Probably was the same for Alan Colmes with Hannity and the majority at FNC.

I’ve always felt the real Abby appeared on MSNBC’s The Cycle
She’s more of a moderate conservative like her father
At Fox I thought she got along to get along
At The View she’ll be aligned with Meghan McCain

I doubt they will have two conservative women there.

ABC must have a lot of $$ to throw around....I'd imagine Abby Huntsman is compensated very well and if I recall correctly they are planning to give her a gig on their digital platform.

It was bad enough that Anna Kooiman left...let's hope this is a baseless rumor.

The Jedi lasted one year and she was fired up about joining the cast. Hope she comes back full-time to Fox. Abby I hope stays as well. That just can't be a fun place to work.

If she, or any of the anchors at Fox have upward career aspirations that go beyond being a lifer at FNC then it's probably better they make a move out sooner rather than later. If someone can't shake the image of being a mouthpiece for the Fox/RNC agenda there won't be many opportunities on the mainstream networks.

Oh yes Sparty, Heather or Molly would be amazing so like all other good idea floated here, likely wont happen.

Once difference I think he and Hannity were friends.

It’s official
She’s replacing Sara Haines
This is her last weekend on F&F:

Ok now we will see how FOX can dash our hopes of a FINE replacement. :Bang

Wow didn't think they would add another conservative. Congrats to Abby.

Guess they didn’t put up much of “a fight” :jetserl

Who do we think will replace her on FnFW?

I'm hoping they give Jilian Mele or Jackie Ibanez a shot.

I really doubt that
Jillian has never filled in for Ainsley or Abby
Jackie rarely gets to fill in on F&FF
The perfect solution would be to lure Anna back from Australia but that ain’t happening

Agree with the above, and these are my picks (in no particular order:

Molly Line: Has been a regular fill-in on weekends

Patty Ann Browne: Been out of the spotlight too long

Jedediah Bila: Can be serious and fun enough for the weekend format

Laura Ingle: See PAB

I don't think any of those women taking the FnFW role would upset the apple cart in terms of the current FNC schedule.

Also: Best wishes to Abby and I hope her move is a worthy challenge with a proper reward.
