"Ready to air-kiss and make up? Seven years after her fiery exit from the show, Rosie O&amp;apos;Donnell will be returning to The View -- but only as a guest.\r\nABC News announced on Monday, Jan. 27 that the 51-year-old comedian, who currently guest-stars on ABC Family&amp;apos;s The Fosters, will appear on the ABC talk show as a guest on Feb. 7.\r\n\r\nO&amp;apos;Donnell served as moderator on The View from 2006 to 2007, before breaking her contract early. Her controversial tenure included a public falling-out with conservative co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck following many public disputes over politics. O&amp;apos;Donnell was also reportedly at odds with The View creator Barbara Walters, who she claimed fired her. &amp;quot;And I would be less-than-honest if I were to say that there is no trouble between Barbara and I,&amp;quot; O&amp;apos;Donnell wrote in her 2007 memoir Celebrity Detox. &amp;quot;I mean, our differences are obvious.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nBut the two seem to be on good terms now, and Walters said she is ready to welcome O&amp;apos;Donnell back to The View with open arms.\r\n&amp;quot;I have great affection for Rosie and we have remained in contact through the years,&amp;quot; Walter said in a statement to ABC News. &amp;quot;I am happy to welcome her back to the program. She is always a lively and engaging guest and a part of the show&amp;apos;s successful history.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThough O&amp;apos;Donnell may be reuniting with Walters, she won&amp;apos;t have to come face-to-face with Hasselbeck. The 36-year-old talk show host left The View in July 2013, and now appears on Fox &amp;amp; Friends. After leaving The View, O&amp;apos;Donnell debuted her own shown, The Rosie Show, on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network in October 2011. The talk show was short-lived, however, and was canceled in March 2012."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
