Lori Loughlin Confirms Joining The 'Full House' Spinoff!
by Shannon KeirnanAunt Becky is back!
Lori Loughlin, who played the cool character on "Full House," has confirmed that she will be returning to her role for the "Full House" spinoff set to air on Netflix in 2016.
"Officially, I am going to be part of the spinoff 'Fuller House,'" she announced Thursday in no uncertain terms.
"Fuller House" will also feature "Full House" cast members like Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber. The once-children of "Full House" will now be adults with kids of their own.
Loughlin will be making her appearance on the one-hour reunion special, which will lead into the 13-episode season. She says she is also open to returning.
"We're going to help Candace, Jodi and Andrea spin off the new show. So we'll come back and do the first episode and maybe throughout we'll pop up here and there."
She'll be appearing alongside onscreen husband, played by John Stamos.
Loughlin hadn't committed to appearing when the announcement of the show hit in April. "I need to have a deal that's fair," she said of holding off. "We've been in negotiations and I'm confident that can be reached."
Apparently all is well on the financial front, and we are glad to hear it.
Notably not on board with making appearances are the Olsen twins Mary-Kate and Ashley, who together played youngest Tanner child Michelle on the series. Stamos has said he was "heartbroken" that both refused to appear.
Loughlin has added, "We would have loved it. It would have been great. But I understand."
