The View fans furious after episode is abruptly CANCELED while cast is on luxury Bahamas vacation
THE View fans have become furious after finding out new episodes have been canceled for a short while and Friday’s broadcast was a repeat.
The hosts of the talk show have been in the Bahamas for the past week on a luxury vacation, but they had been broadcasting on location.
Throughout the week, The View aired a mix of live and prerecorded shows from the Bahamas.
The cast was there to celebrate the program's 25th anniversary, after it first premiered back in 1997.
As not all of this week's new episodes were done live anyway, fans were upset that there wasn't a fresh broadcast to watch on Friday.
One upset fan tweeted: “Literally all the money in the world and they couldn’t get 5 days of shows out of that trip to the Bahamas.

"Make that make sense.”
A second blasted the show, writing: “Ya’ll are in a paradise, and you couldn't give us 1 more day?”
Another said after finding out it wasn’t a new episode: "Damnit #TheView is a freakin repeat…. Should’ve known.”
A fourth wrote: “Good Morning Fam! Wait, a rerun?? Are y’all serious?!?”

Not having a new episode to enjoy on Friday only upset viewers further, after they were already angered over the fact that the cast was hosting from the Bahamas all week.
Fans had been furious about the trip ever since it was revealed last month.
When The View teased an “epic announcement” at the end of one of its broadcast, fans were excited to see what it could be.
They figured it would be either a new permanent host or a massive giveaway for the show’s dedicated viewers.
Instead, it was to tell the audience that the hosts would be getting a luxury beach getaway.
On social media, fans blasted The View for teasing them and for flaunting the hosts’ vacation in their faces.
One upset Twitter user wrote: “For their big announcement, the View announced that they're going to the Bahamas.
“They know all of us can't go, but we can go to their site for information on tickets...... meanwhile I'll be here, working from home while they enjoy their paid vacation.”
They added sarcastically: “Yay for everyone.”
The frustration didn't fade once the Bahamas-set episodes began airing earlier this week, either.
Instead, it was only fueled after fans though host Whoopi Goldberg made an "out of touch" comment about the trip.
Viewers blasted the moderator for claiming the cast’s Bahamas trip allowed viewers to live vicariously through them.
“Definitely thought that was a bit cringe and out of touch,” one user wrote on social media.
They added: “I don’t think they have to feel bad about sharing their stories having fun but trying to frame it as being inspirational/helpful for others rubbed me the wrong way.”

nother commented: “Why do I want to see them having fun in some fabulous location I cannot go to?
“This trip In particular seems very out of touch and indulgent and completely out of sync given everything that is going on in America.”
