I don't usually watch the show, but I was at the gym this morning and caught the end.
I can understand why Kelly was upset.
Why all the drama?
Strahan decided to leave and it was kept secret from his co-host?
Maybe it's just me, but Strahan is over exposed.
Seriously, how many venues does he need to be on?
IMO, he's not that exceptional.

I think they were not only co-workers but friends so I think the whole thing was handled very poorly.  It seems that the move was orchestrated by Disney/ABC so I think he was probably advised not to say anything to Kelly and Live.  It's a shame it had to cause so much hurt.  I think Michael and Kelly were a good match for that show.  But I read somewhere that Anderson Cooper is the first choice for Michael's replacement.  He's one of the ones I was hoping for the last time around but he had just been offered his own show.  It will be interesting to see how this will all turn out.

I for one cannot stand Kelly Ripa nor Michael Strahan. Both are so over rated! I think when Regis left the show, ABC/Disney should of just cancelled the show. I don't understand why Kelly is mad at Michael. From what I heard, Michael was informed not to tell Kelly, which I think was stupid in the first place!  If Kelly should be mad at anyone, it should be ABC, for them telling Michael to keep it quiet and from Kelly. I don't think Michael did anything wrong, and for Kelly to say... "She won't come back if Michael is still their!"... She is acting like a rich spoiled brat. For $36,000 an hour, I would count my blessings and still show up for work, and stop acting so childish! 

I'm still reeling over the fact that Kelly makes $36,000 per show!!  Personally I don't think she's worth $36,000, maybe $36.00 a day, but not $36,000. No wonder she thinks she's all that! Some of these actors and actress's are really over paid.

I just read that MS is leaving on May 13th...

Kelly makes  a very big salary...she should just get over it.

But I do think that it was wrong to NOT let her know ahead of time...What was wrong with telling her??
IMO, as her friend Michael should have clued her in.

I read that they don't like each other. But I do think Kelly should have been told earlier on. It's just plain respectful. I am not a Kelly fan but Michael should have clued her in.
