Wide World of Women

By Jen Heger - Radar Assistant Managing Editor

Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos has told friends that he misses co-host Robin Roberts and is eagerly looking forward for her return from her bone marrow transfusion because Lara Spencer is driving him crazy with her childish behavior, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

"George is just absolutely miserable without Robin," a show insider tells Radar. "He misses her being on set everyday and has a new appreciation for Robin's professionalism because he feels that Lara Spencer is extremely childish. Robin has always been a buffer for George and she is the person that brings the GMA family together.

"Lara has been grating on George's nerves and he is just counting the days until Robin comes back. George's background is hard news and he thinks that Lara just doesn't bring anything to the show."

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, appearing on GMA last month, Robin said she's "incredibly blessed to be doing as well as I am" and that while "it would be a whole lot easier not to be so public when you're going through something like this … it's a privilege to be a messenger."

If true, totally agree with George. You can tell what ABC thinks of her, a few days during the storm coverage Lara was nowhere to be seen. Her She epitomizes the fluff GMA and Today has turned into.

I thought George was already irritated before...with Diane Sawyer playing drunk during the election coverage last week!

I can see George's point. I've been amazed at Lara Spencer's inability to talk in a straight line. She flubs all the time over her own words. She's worse than Marysol.
