Her visit is expected to include promotion of current projects:
- Special Forces: World’s Toughest — Bure is competing in Season 5.
- A Second Chance Christmas — her recent holiday film on Great American Family, where she serves as chief content officer.
Why she initially turned down an invite
Earlier this fall, Bure revealed producers reached out for a guest slot during The View’s 30th season. She passed because the timing overlapped with a family event.
She prioritized being present for her daughter’s childbirth over a studio appearance. At the time she described herself as open to future visits, and now the schedule has cleared.
Her past tenure at The View and the fallout
Bure was a full-time co-host during Seasons 19 and 20, from 2015 to 2016. Her return as a guest is a shift from that longer-stay experience.
What made the role difficult
- She felt the show moved toward heavier political debate than expected.
- Weekly travel between Los Angeles and New York took a toll.
- Balancing research, prep and family life became overwhelming.
Speaking about that period, she called the job extremely demanding but said guest appearances still feel comfortable and familial.
Where her politics fit into the conversation
The actress and Hallmark favorite is open about her conservative views. That contrast led to visible clashes with some liberal co-hosts while she sat at the permanent table.
Despite past tensions and a public vow not to return as a permanent host, she has continued to make occasional guest stops.
Other guests and special moments on this week’s schedule
- Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders
- Actor and former Reading Rainbow host LeVar Burton
- News personality Rachel Maddow
The Thursday episode will also include a birthday tribute for Whoopi Goldberg, who turns 71 this week.
