Samantha Armytage will make a welcome return to the Today show in just a few weeks, following her milestone 50th birthday celebration on Friday.
The veteran host stepped into the hot seat last month, filling in with co-host Tom Steinfort.
Sam quickly proved to be a popular addition to the breakfast offering.
However, she was missing from the station last week as she took time to celebrate turning 50 in Queensland.
Now her return to the Nine breakfast program appears to be firmly on the cards.
According to Media diarySam is expected to return in the near future, before Channel Nine reveals who will permanently replace Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo.

Last month, Armytage impressed viewers by co-hosting the show while wearing a leg brace after suffering a painful injury.
She told her Instagram followers at the time that she broke her ankle while taking out the trash this weekend.
Sitting on the couch at home with her foot and ankle in a brace, she filmed herself talking to the camera before turning the lens on her extremely inflamed ankle and foot.
“One for the foot fetish brigade (of which there are many). Please excuse the grubby week-old Logies spray tan…,” she wrote alongside a laughing, crying and vomiting emoji.
Armytage also uploaded a video of herself on the couch, explaining how she ended up in a foot brace.
“I know what you’re thinking, why is she laying there with her ankle above her heart?” Well, say hello to my little friend,” she said, pointing the camera at her foot.
Armytage said she broke her ankle in “a few places” while performing the very mundane task.
“I wish I had a sexy story for you, but I don’t. One morning I was taking out the trash and I just missed the bottom step and twisted it,” she said.

“And I was wearing runners, I wasn’t even wearing heels, so I tore all the ligaments off the bone and part of the bone.”
However, despite the unfortunate situation, Armytage retained a fragmented character.

Nine has been trying out presenters for the show since Karl Stefanovic left in June, following the fallout from his controversial interview with British far-right activist Tommy Robinson on his podcast.
Weeks later, Sarah Abo went on maternity leave after the birth of her first child.
And it seems they’ve found the right match, with the pair helping to boost the ratings by a whopping 60,000 viewers.
According to The Australian, the 10 percent increase in ratings has led to Channel Nine bosses looking at the pair for permanent appointments.
