Back to Rosie?

ABC's 'The View' is looking to go back to the future to try and bring back viewers to the daytime talker.

And it appears that they think Rosie O'Donnell might be the answer.

TMZ says that O'Donnell, who hosted the show from 2006 to 2007 is coming back and it's a done deal.

ABC says "We are weeks away from making any type of announcement about anything pertaining to the show."

Page Six says that O'Donnell has signed a 1 year deal for seven figures and it demands her say on her co-hosts and absolutely no reality stars are allowed. 

Bringing back O'Donnell seems like a last gasp effort by the network to keep the show relevant.

Let's be honest, The View has jumped the shark and bringing in a whale isn't going to save it.

Just saying....
