Robach, 48, should be able to rest assured that her show is in good hands. She recently opened up to PEOPLE about her “bond” with Roberts, whoconvinced her to get her first mammogrameight years ago, weeks before shewas diagnosed with breast cancer.
“Robin and I instantly became sisters, because I think anyone who’s walked down that path knows there’s just a camaraderie that you can’t explain,” Robach said. “We can literally just look at each other across the set and know exactly what each other is thinking. There’s a real trust there. There’s a real bond there. There’s a huge amount of respect and love that goes both ways between us.”
