Candace Cameron Bure Is Leaving "The View"

From Good Housekeeping

After two years on the show, Candace Cameron Bure held back tears as she announced she was leaving the The View on this morning's episode. The 40-year-old actress cited her hectic work schedule and being away from her family as reasons for her decision.

"It wasn't an easy decision, but before I started The View, I had already had my commitments to Fuller House and my work with the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies and Mysteries," she said. "And because of the success of those, my commitments have become even greater with those shows."

She continued: "The commute of going West Coast to East Coast every single week for me has been tough on me and hard for my family as well," she said. "I want to make sure that I'm able to spend as much time with my children and invest in all the projects that I do to the fullest extent."

While her exact exit date has not yet been announced, Cameron Bure was quick to thank her co-stars, giving a special shoutout to Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar. "Particularly, I want to thank you for welcoming me to this table," she told Goldberg and Behar. "I have learned so much from you, and I'm so grateful for you."

The word is still out as to who will fill Candace's spot at the desk.
