bammy9 26 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Some sad news from New York today as ABC News' Amy Robach announced that she was diagnosed with breast cancer during today's Good Morning America. Robach had her first mammogram on the 1st of last month on Good Morning America, which is how she learned she had the cancer. She will have surgery this Thursday.

24994J 5276 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Not to be cold, I wish Amy the absolute best and a speedy recovery, but all of a sudden GMA is without its two main fill-in anchors, with Elizabeth in rehab as well. As was the case 3 days last week, I guess we'll be seeing more of Lara in the anchor chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1293 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Man this sucks. Best of wishes to Amy on your treatment, she's been a wonderful addition to GMA. Wondering if this is why Lara had been in for Robin last week with Liz in rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daybreak 269 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 When I saw her this morning it was very sad but I was glad Robin was by her side to help her through this very crucial time. I was wondering why Lara was filing in because as of right now Amy is the Heir apparent for Robin's chair when and if she leaves. My thoughts and prayers goes out to her and her family.

24994J 5276 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 While her prognosis is still good, a 2nd cancerous tumor in the breast was found during Robach's surgery. Cancerous cells also spread to one of her lymph nodes. She's expected to return to the network after Thanksgiving, but extensive treatment is still to come. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/during-amy-robachs-double-mastectomy-doctors-find-a-second-cancerous-tumor_b204783 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BehindNYNews 143 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Even with Amy back, Lara was anchoring this morning. I wonder if with the contract negotiations, she has asked to be main fill in for Robin? The only other thing I can think of is Amy isn't up to anchoring the show fully yet.

Or maybe just giving her a turn? She has filled in on occasion, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Lara's filling in has become more frequent in recent months, but I don't think she's ranking any higher to sit in for Robin. Amy's like the unofficial 6th member of the team, so having her fill in (when up to it) is a given. However, with both Josh and Robin in Rome together, they needed a news anchor, as well. Moving Lara to the main chair was a better idea than having her do the news, and it keeps the budget down by having on 4 anchors today, instead of 5.
