After a weeklong absence from The View, Whoopi Goldberg has finally revealed where she’s been—and it turns out the 70-year-old icon has been thousands of miles away from the show’s New York City studio.

Taking to Instagram earlier this week, Whoopi explained her temporary disappearance: “If you notice I’m not on The View this week it’s because I’m in Italy working,” she shared in her Instagram Stories, giving fans a first glimpse into her overseas adventure.

She later opened up in more detail on Behind The Table, the official podcast of The View, confirming that she accepted an acting role on the long-running Italian soap opera Un Posto Al Sole. It marks a new chapter for Goldberg, who has always balanced her talk show duties with a passion for acting.
