Robin Roberts delighted GMA viewers with her fun travel reports from Portugal earlier in the week - but now fans are wondering where she'll be coming back.
On Thursday, Robin and Michael Strahan were once again noticeably absent from the NY studio, with Whit Johnson and Rebecca Jarvis taking their seats alongside George Stephanopoulos.
But the day marked more than just another day in the office as Robin missed out on a momentous moment for one of her ABC co-hosts.
Dr. Jennifer Ashton's last day on GMA3 landed on Thursday and Robin and Michael weren't with her.
The chief medical correspondent was emotional as she was joined by colleagues, including George, Lara Spencer, Ginger Zee, and Sam Champion to wave her goodbye.

"It has been an honor to be at ABC and help cover the biggest health issues in the country and world over the past 13 years," she wrote, paying tribute to her co-anchors and colleagues at the network as well.
"My coworkers have become more than friends; they've become family and have seen me through the biggest professional moments of my life. I feel fortunate to have worked with the best in the business."
