After walking out April 20, Kelly Ripa is set to return Tuesday to co-hosting ABC's Live with Kelly and Michael, sources told People and the Los Angeles Times on Friday. She apparently sent the following email to her staff Friday:
(Sorry for this late Friday night email). I wanted to thank you all for giving me the time to process this new information. Your kindness, support, and love has overwhelmed me. We are a family and I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday morning. Love, Kelly. [The New York Times]
Ripa was apparently upset that she learned of co-host Michael Strahan's promotion to Good Morning America only shortly before the move was announced publicly.
She had previously scheduled vacation days for Friday and Monday. In her absence, Strahan hosted alongside guests Ana Gasteyer and Erin Andrews.
