ABC is reeling from a feud with two hosts of its daytime show “GMA3,” so some may find it interesting that another daytime program devoted an entire segment on Thursday to dealing with a cheating spouse.
On ABC’s long-running women’s talk show, The View , actress Beverly D’Angelo discussed the revelation that her ex-husband happily divorced decades ago after admitting that she fell in love with actor Al Pacino.
The show’s detailed discussion of what can and cannot happen in their marriage coincides with ABC’s “GMA3” hosts handling the crisis surrounding Amy Robach, who is married to TJ Holmes and others. and their relationship has been off the air ever since it became public.
“The View” host Sunny Hostin said it was an “arrangement” that D’Angelo and her husband could see other people, an example of how such arrangements can destroy a marriage.
“That’s why you don’t have any minor routines,” “The View” host Sunny Hostin said Thursday.

Host Sarah Hines says that if her husband tells her he’s in love with someone else, she’s also quick to let the marriage fall apart.
“I don’t know how to live next to it – knowing that the person I love is in love with someone else,” she said.
Co-host Joy Behar asked Haynes if her husband was sleeping with another woman and could “have the conversation” about saving the marriage for the sake of the family.
“Is this something I can salvage? Is this a moment of growth? Can we come back from this? These are conversations I never thought I’d be open to,” Hines said.

Co-author Alyssa Farah Griffin added that it’s “a lot harder” if your loved one is in love with someone else.
Holmes and Robach, who were not mentioned on “The View” or other ABC programs, were off the air Thursday as ABC executives continued to ponder how to handle the situation.

“Nobody’s saying that on-air talent is just a bunch of hot-headed, hot-ass people who can only read cue cards. But, hey, they shouldn’t be responsible for their crumbling PR,” Byers wrote. .
Last week, the Daily Mail reported that Holmes and Robach had “engaged in a passionate romance despite being married to their respective partners for the past 12 years”.

“I think Amy and TJ’s careers could be asphyxiated by Disney and Good Morning America,” Schiffer said. “I think if they were on another network, they could have continued. In fact, the ratings could have been better.”
