Savannah Guthrie returned to New York and visited colleagues at NBC\u2019s Today earlier this week, but a new report claims some hoped she\u2019d never come back<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, March 5, a spokesperson for the morning show said that the 54-year-old anchor \u201cplans to return\u201d to the network at some point, even though her focus remains on the ongoing search<\/a> for her missing 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie.<\/p>\n

According to a Friday, March 6, report in the Daily Mail<\/a>, multiple sources claimed that some staffers were frustrated when bosses revealed Savannah planned to eventually get back to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a viper\u2019s nest,\u201d one source told the outlet. \u201cEven if you\u2019re suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Savannah has been absent from Today since Nancy was reported missing on February 1 by family members. The Mail\u2019s sources claimed that production staffers were more relaxed<\/a> throughout that time and preferred Hoda Kotb, who has filled in for her former colleague.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou think The Morning Show is bad? That\u2019s nothing,\u201d one source said. \u201cThese people will steal your chair while you\u2019re still sitting in it. From the hair and makeup people to the producers, you can\u2019t trust anyone, they all talk.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Mail\u2019s sources made it clear that everyone is hoping for Nancy\u2019s safe return<\/a> amid the tragic time, some staff hoped they would learn more about their future with the morning program \u2014 and certain people even thought about how they could secure more screen time.<\/p>\n

During Thursday\u2019s broadcast of Today With Jenna & Sheinelle<\/a>, Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones addressed Savannah\u2019s visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is beyond loved here,\u201d Bush Hager, 44, said. \u201cSo we\u2019re happy she\u2019s home. I don\u2019t know when she\u2019s actually returning to the show. But she was here and that felt so good to get to hug her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Savannah previously announced that her family is offering a reward<\/a> of up to $1 million for information leading to the recovery of Nancy. The FBI is also offering $100,000 for information leading to the location of Nancy \u201cand\/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previous video footage released by authorities show a masked and \u201carmed individual\u201d appearing to tamper with the camera at Nancy\u2019s front door the morning of her disappearance. She is described as 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs around 150 pounds; she has brown hair and blue eyes.<\/p>\n
