GOOD Morning America's Ginger Zee has been absent from the morning show and has been replaced by the stand-in Danielle Breezy.

Fans have been sad about Ginger missing while others were enthusiastic about Danielle filling in as they have hopes she'll be placed in a more permanent position.

Ginger was missing from her position as a meteorologist on GMA this morning as the audience's Nashville-native favorite filled in.

After working as ABC News network's weekend meteorologist, she is now the chief meteorologist.

Danielle posted on Twitter: "What a fun morning filling in for Ginger on GMA! I even made it on the Jumbotron in Times Square.

She included several photos of her smiling in front of the GMA studios and her face blown up on one of the large screens in the New York City landmark square.

A third wrote: "Looking great as usual!"

Yet a fourth added: "Super star! Love watching you shine!"

A fifth posted: "Outstanding Danielle!! And for the weekend? I think that you are being recruited!!"

'GET RID OF HIM!'

Back in August, fans begged the GMA show producers to replace Whit Johnson with the crowd-favorite Danielle.

Meanwhile, fans were wondering if Whit would quit the weekend GMA team to replace David Muir on World News Today.

At the time, Whit had been filling in for David on World News Today, and the new Nashville face had been replacing Whit on GMA.

Danielle had been subbing for Whit as he'd been working the late nights.

One fan slammed Whit and Tweeted: "Get rid of these people and also Whit Johnson."

Another also posted: "Get Whit Johnson off of GMA. He is awful."

Meanwhile, Danielle received plenty of praise.

As she posted on her own Twitter handle about her exciting appearance on GMA, a fan wrote in the comments: "Always watching you Danielle, wouldn't miss it!"

A second said: "Happy to watch you on GMA all weekend!"

Yet a third posted: "Great forecast this morning!"

SHOW SHAKEUP

Meanwhile, fans thought Whit was quitting his GMA position as David had been missing from his usual post for several days.

Whit sat on David's desk to deliver news night and closed off a segment by saying: "Thanks so much for watching tonight. I'm Whit Johnson in New York, and I'll see you on GMA in the morning."

Concerned fans took to social media to note David's absence - but also to compliment Whit on his great run filling David's seat.

One wrote: "Just want to say how much I enjoy Whit Johnson's delivery of the news. He keeps bias out of his voice and doesn’t repeat what has already been shown."

A second posted: "Feels like David quit on us the past six days."

Yet a third speculated: "Wouldn't be shocked if ABC is grooming Whit to take David's job sometime soon."

A fourth stated: "He's probably on vacation. He'll be back next week."

WEEKEND TEAM

Whit usually fills his weekend alongside the weekend team at GMA.

The current GMA weekend panel includes Janai Norman, Eva Pilgrim and Whit.

When Janai made her debut on her ABC show, viewers claimed they noticed a spark of tension between the anchors. 

During one moment, Whit turned to his co-anchor and said: "This is like the TV equivalent of putting a ring on it.” 

His comment was a reference to promising something like an engagement or wedding ring. 

Fans slammed Whit's "rude" comment while praising Janai's "first day" on the morning show.

One viewer said at the time: "Was that already a rude comment coming from Whit? Come on it's just her first day!"

"Janai, please tell me you are getting combat pay for working with Whit Johnson!" another chimed in.

'SHE'S FAMILY'

After the July 4th weekend, Whit tweeted: " Thrilled to officially welcome Janai to the anchor desk for weekend GMA.

"If you’ve been watching, you know Janai’s more than a colleague or friend…she’s family.
