Robin Roberts, the “Good Morning America” anchor whose medical battles have kept her from the ABC show for months, returned to her job on Wednesday.
“GMA” opened with a tight closeup of Roberts, who said, “I have been waiting 174 days to say this: ‘Good Morning America.'” She had been completely bald as a result of her medical treatment, but her hair is growing back; she joked that if viewers looked hard, they would find bangs.
“I keep pinching myself, and I realize this is real,” she said. “This is actually happening.”
Roberts had not hosted an episode of “GMA” since Aug. 30, when she left to begin treatment for MDS, the rare bone marrow disease that she contracted as a result of her successful bout with breast cancer.
Throughout, “GMA” has obsessively, and sometimes controversially, tracked every step of her recovery from her ordeal, bringing viewers regular video messages and updates. Both ABC and NBC will surely be watching to see what happens to those figures now that Roberts is back.
