Another one bites the dust! Candace Cameron Bure has announced that she will be leaving “The View.”
The mother-of-three explained that balancing family life with her acting commitments to Netflix show “Fuller House” and TV movies with the Hallmark Channel meant something had to go.
“I tried to be superwoman, but I’m gonna not try anymore,” Cameron shared on Thursday’s episode, as she explained her reason behind leaving the popular talk show she joined in 2015.
She called the news “bittersweet,” but admitted traveling back and forth between coasts was just taking a toll on her.

“It wasn’t an easy decision. 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. Because of the success of those, my commitments have become even greater with those shows,” Candace explained.
She added, “The commute of going west coast to east coast every single week has been tough on me, and hard for my family as well. 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.”
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg joked, “And you know, with all the sex talk we do, you miss your husband.” Candace, who has been married for 20 years to former NHL star Valeri Bure, then thanked all of her co-stars for their support, singling out a surprised Joy Behar for “welcoming me to this table.”
The actress has been busy with a collection of new Hallmark projects, including “Journey Back to Christmas,” which debuted on November 27. “Fuller House,” the reboot of Candace’s popular Nineties sitcom “Full House” returns for its second season on Netflix on December 9.

Meanwhile, Candace’s exit comes just over a month after co-host Raven-Symoné announced that she would be leaving in order to work on the reboot of her Disney Channel series “That’s so Raven.” And back in June Michelle Collins took to Instagram to share her statement about departing from the series after just one season.
Veteran co-host Whoopi, who has been on the show since 2007, even teased that she might be leaving. During a September appearance on “The Wendy Williams Show” she said that she would “probably not” be returning for next season.
