Lori Loughlin

Was originally only contracted for six episodes of Padres forzosos (1987) but after positive audience reaction, she was given a full-time role. The initial storyline for her was to be just Danny's co-host and go on one date with him, realizing they would never work out in a dating relationship and have their relationship remain just professional. However, when she became a full-time character, they created a storyline where she would fall in love with Jesse and eventually marry him.

[on taking her first leading role in Summerland (2004) since the 1995 end of Padres forzosos (1987)] When you don't work for a while, immediately you get a little black mark next to your name. You have to make difficult choices in your life, and you just have to be happy with them.
