Robin hosted GMA from Monday to Wednesday this week, but was absent at the end of the week.

On Thursday's show, she was replaced by Amy Robach, as she and George Stephanopoulos were both missing.

Cecilia, who has been manning the desk quite a bit recently, took her spot on Friday's show.

Meanwhile, George did return for Friday's show.

Michael Strahan took his normal seat behind the desk as well.

The morning show has been slammed numerous times in the past for its revolving door of hosts.

Robin and George were in the studio on Wednesday to celebrateRobin's anniversary of her transplant.

They were joined by Michael and Lara Spencer.

Her sister gave her the "precious gift" of stem cells and Robin wanted to spread the word of signing up to become a donor in every way possible.

GMAshowed a segment on a man named Chris who is suffering from Leukemia and created the Lemons for Leukemia Challenge, in order to get people to sign up to become a donor.

When his inspiring story ended, Robin said that she was "grateful" to Chris for turning his illness into a way to help others.

She then went on to talk to her co-hosts about how rare it is to find a match.

"Oh my Gosh. I cannot get over the innovations in the last 10 years when it comes to bone marrow transplant," she said.

George told her that he couldn't believe it has been a decade since her transplant.

"Every day is special," the Robin said while attempting to hold back tears.

"I want to be a symbol of 'this too shall pass,'" Robin ended her statement.

No reason was given for Robin's sudden absence, but this isn't the first time she has been away.

The anchor recently skipped her appearance on The Sherri Shepherd show and then missed GMA again.

Robin was set to be interview on the new talk show on September 15, but pulled out at the last minute.

A promo for her appearance aired just moments before the actual broadcast began.

However, when Sherri started announcing live the guests on her show, Robin was missing from that list.

Instead, only model Winnie Harlow and designer Sergio Hudson were mentioned.

Wasnt Robin Roberts supposed to be on todays show? one concerned viewer tweeted at the time.

Another speculated that she had to cancel her appearance because shes actually in London to cover the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial.

But that wasnt the case, as Robin reported live on GMA from New York City on Thursday, while she spoke with other colleagues reporting from London.
