The 61-year-old actor admitted the rumours that she was leaving the ABC talk show after 10 years were true to an extent but Alex Martin, 44, made her realise she needed to stay on, reported E! News.
"I wasn't coming back but my daughter said I think that's a mistake because we've just had a major shakeup and you need to be a part of this conversation," Goldberg said.
The "Ghost" actor returns as moderator on the 21st season of the show next month.
