With a revolving door of co-hosts over the past season, it looks like ABC morning talk show; The View has finally found some permanent hosts to claim some of the empty chairs around the table. With three exits happening last year including Rosie Perez, Nicolle Wallace and Rosie O'Donnell, the series knew that it needed to shake things up for the 19th season. It looks like the show is going back to basics as they have just revealed that veteran member of the cast Joy Behar has been added back to the panel, as well as newcomer Candace Cameron Bure. Not just that, but also joining recent additions Raven Symone, Michelle Collins and longtime member of the cast, Whoopi Goldberg, is new correspondent Paula Faris.

It seems that the show has cleaned house over the last season and according to Us Weekly, all the new ladies have gotten the golden stamp of approval from the creator and executive producer of the series, Barbara Walters.

"As The View embarks on a remarkable 19th season, I am extremely proud to see the legacy of smart and diverse women engaging in entertaining and thought-provoking conversation continue," Walter explained in a press release.

Behar is super excited to be back where it all started, according to USA Today, adding that she can't wait to chime in on some hot topic issues.

"Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in," the 72-year-old comedian and former host explained. "Plus, [my husband] Steve was getting tired of applauding every time I gave my opinion. But I'm happy to be back home. And I'm looking forward to sticking my two cents into the hot topics, especially now that Hillary [Clinton] and the Donald are in the spotlight."

In related news, Bure is pulling double duty as she is currently filming for the Full House Netflix series, Fuller House, but she also told ABC News how happy she was to be joining the cast.

"I am thrilled to be joining The View as a regular co-host this fall," the starlet explained. "I am honored to be a new addition to such a strong group of bright and opinionated women, and I look forward to sharing this exciting journey with viewers new and old."
