I agree... I started taping the show this year to watch her... mainly for the hot topics section.... There were a couple of shows this year where Joy and Elizabeth were there without Barbra but with a co-host and it was very boring I have to say.... They were really struggling. Although Joy is funny, she and Elizabeth, and Barbara for that matter, need someone at the wheel to drive the show otherwise it's kinda flat and they look like they are trying too hard. I was shocked and sad that she's leaving.
But you have to think about it... I read that it was all about the contract and the number of years to commit. ABC apparently wanted stability and her to sign for 3 additional years. Rosie only wanted to sign for one year. If Rosie only wanted to sign for a year at a time, wouldn't ABC be happy with that if they couldn't get her to sign for three years?? Stability or no stability - they should have taken it.
