From 1987 to 1995, ABC's family sitcom "Full House" entertained audiences with its exploration into the lives of the Tanner family household led by widower Danny Tanner (Bob Saget). Danny raised his three daughters, D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin), and Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) with the help of his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos) and best friend Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier) in his titular full house in San Francisco, CA. Throughout the series' eight-year run, the Tanner household grows larger, as does the property value of the house itself.

Over 20 years after the original series' conclusion, Netflix's "Fuller House" caught viewers up with the Tanners' lives in the 21st century, with the now-grown-up widowed mother D.J. raising her three sons with the help of her sister Stephanie and best friend Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber). Premise sure sounds familiar, huh? Well, given the timeless nature of family-related sitcoms,...

Despite the fact that its interior is as confounding as the Overlook Hotel and Jerry Seinfeld’s physics-defying bachelor pad, fans still love the titular abode from Full House.

After all, how many TV houses have enough room for a single father, his three kids, his brother-in-law’s entire family, plus a stand-up comedian who, despite the wacky puppets and nonstop Popeye impressions, could be a total buzzkill at times.

While the original show and its depressing Netflix sequel were obviously filmed on soundstages, the exterior establishing shots utilized a real Victorian house, which is located at 1709 Broderick Street in San Francisco.

Once owned by Full House creator Jeff Franklin, until he sold it in 2020, last year the building was again put on the market, this time for a whopping $6.5 million. As we pointed out at the time, this likely would have priced out Danny Tanner, even with his staggering number of roommates.

Fuller Housewas a Netflix original series that ran for five seasons. The show was essentially a "where are they now?" for fans of Full House. D.J. Tanner (Candace Cameron-Bure) is now a veterinarian with her own practice, Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) is an international deejay and aspiring singer, and Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) runs a party planning business. When D.J.'s husband dies in the line of duty, Stephanie and Kimmy move in to help her raise her three kids: Jackson, Max, and Tommy. Kimmy also brings along her own daughter, Ramona. Meanwhile, Danny Tanner, Jesse, Rebecca, and the twins, and Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier) also pop in on various episodes. Steve Hale (Scott Weinger) is also back to bring a "will-they-or-won't-they" romantic dynamic for D.J.

The child stars of Fuller House bring a lot of heart to their characters. They also have impressive comedic timing with their line deliveries.

The best Mckenna Grace movies and TV shows feature the young star playing both young versions of popular characters in TV shows and her eventual rise as a star in her own right on TV and in movies. Grace got her start acting in 2012 when she was only six. She had early appearances in Crash & Bernstein and The Goodwin Games before she got her biggest break as Faith Newman in the daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless.

She then got some big movie roles as a child star in Gifted, I, Tonya, and The Bad Seed. She also had a lot of experience playing younger versions of characters in flashbacks, playing the young Emma Swan in Once Upon a Time, young Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel, and young Madison Lake in Malignant. However, Grace finally enjoyed her breakout in Ghostbusters: Afterlife and on TV in The Handmaid’s Tale.

Dave Coulier revealed how he told his Full House castmates about his cancer diagnosis.

On Wednesday (November 13), the 65-year-old actor revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a form of blood cancer.

Before he shared the news with the public, Dave made sure to tell his castmates from the iconic ’90s sitcom. In an interview, he revealed how they responded.

Costar John Stamos also took to social media to voice his support.

Speaking to People, Dave revealed that he reached out to castmates John, Candace Cameron Bure, Andrea Barber, Jodie Sweetin, Lori Loughlin and Scott Weinger and series creator Jeff Franklin via text message.

“I didn’t want them to hear it from someone else, so I sent a text message out,” he explained. The cast “immediate[ly]” replied. “It was just this outpouring of, ‘I will be there. You just name the time,...

While talking with some stars of the show, actor Scott Curtis talked about this two-episode stint on Full House. During the conversation, he revealed what it was like to film actress Candace Cameron Bure’s first kiss. He also shared what it was like for him seeing Bure after the kiss.

D.J. Gets A Special 13th Birthday Present

Curtis appeared as Kevin Gwynn, an early love-interest for Bure’s character D.J. Tanner. In the episode, “13 Candles,” Kevin goes to D.J.’s 13th birthday party, where her friends try to arrange for them to kiss during a game of spin the bottle. Danny, Jesse and Joey intervene, humiliating her. However, Kevin returns after the party and gives D.J. her first kiss, giving the story a happy ending.

Curtis also appeared in the episode, “Just Say No Way,” in which Kevin’s friends try to get him to drink beer at a school party.

Raven-Symoné has been acting since she was a little girl, and one of her first starring roles was in the sitcom Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper.

The former The View co-host made an appearance on The Talk where she said she is still in close contact with her co-stars Holly Robinson Peete and Mark Curry.

“I am actually super friends with [Robinson Peete] and Mark Curry,” she said on the CBS daytime talk show. “Mark Curry and her have been amazing mentors in my life. And to be able to be on the set with them at seven years old and they go, ‘Go in your room, this is adults talking,’ and now they’re like, ‘Come here, let me tell you what happened.’ It makes me very happy.”

As Raven-Symoné and her former co-stars are still in touch, Sheryl Underwood took the opportunity to ask if there was a possibility...

Full House is one of the most popular TV sitcoms of the late '80s and all the '90s. Millions of viewers tuned into ABC and later TBS and TeenNick to catch up with the Tanners. The show ran for eight seasons and 192 episodes and featured on-location shooting at beautiful locations like the Walt Disney Resort and Hawaii. The Beach Boys, Vanna White, Little Richard, and Phyllis Diller are among the famous names who made guest appearances. Later, a sequel called Fuller House was picked up by Netflix. Needless to say, Full House was a huge success for creator Jeff Franklin.

The appeal of the show is in its family-friendly entertainment. Despite the cheesy life lessons, there's a lot of heart and comedic scenes in Full House that make it stand up even today. The cast has a ton of chemistry as well, which makes every moment among the family feel believable.

Actress Christine Lakin, best known for playing the role of Alison Lambert on the 1990s ABC/CBS sitcom Step by Step, recently appeared on the How Rude, Tanneritos! Podcast and opened up about her experience being initially cast in the Netflix sequel series Fuller House. And how she was subsequently fired. The podcast is hosted by Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber, who both had roles in Full House and Fuller House, respectively.

Lakin recounted how she was thrilled to receive a casting call from Fuller House creator Jeff Franklin, and after her meeting went well, was stoked about appearing on the show. However, just two days before the table read, Lakin received another call, this time from her manager, informing that the table read was being pushed back. She was later told she had been "let go."

And then about two days before the table read, I got a call from my manager saying,...

Christine Lakin appeared on Friday’s episode of Jodie Sweetin’s How Rude, Tanneritos podcast and said that she was nearly cast as a recurring character on Netflix’s Fuller House, but was unexpectedly let go before the table read.

Fuller House was a sequel series to Full House, which aired on ABC from 1987 to 1995. Fuller House aired from 2016 to 2020.

Lakin said that she had a “great” meeting with creator Jeff Franklin and “was stoked” about appearing on the show.

“And then about two days before the table read, I got a call from my manager saying, ‘Yes, something happened. They’re pushing the table read. I think there’s some stuff with the script they want to rewrite,’” Lakin said.

“The next day happened and my manager calls and says, ‘Hey, I don’t know how to tell you this, but you’ve been let go.’ And I was like,...

As Fox Mulder on The X-Files, David Duchovny investigated vampires, chased mutant sewer-monsters and battled scantily-clad, virtual-reality cowgirls. But he very nearly found himself in an even stranger situation: holed up in a San Francisco townhome with three children and two other dudes.

Yes, Duchovny came shockingly close to starring in Full House, which may sound kind of odd, but certain Full House storylines could have easily passed as X-Files episodes.

On a recent episode of his podcast Fail Better, Duchovny chatted with Fred Armisen about their early unsuccessful auditions, with the former Saturday Night Live cast member revealing that he once tried out for Mad TV, the Rc Cola to SNL’s Coke.

Duchovny then revealed that when he first moved to Los Angeles, he auditioned for plenty of sitcom pilots, and “thought each one was gonna be the break.” One of the shows that left him “devastated” for weeks afterwards was Full House.

Bob Saget was not the original choice to play Danny Tanner in Full House. John Posey filmed the unaired pilot before being replaced. Posey lost the role of Danny Tanner due to Saget's availability changing after his CBS show was canceled. Similar to Full House, New Girl also had casting issues with Damon Wayans Jr. leaving after filming the pilot.

Long-time fans of the sitcom Full House may find it hard to imagine anyone other than Bob Saget in the role of Danny Tanner, but the original pilot for the show starred actor John Posey as the Tanner children's dad. The series followed Danny Tanner as he raises his three daughters after the death of his wife. He's aided by his late wife's brother Jesse (John Stamon) and family friend Joey (David Coullier). Saget played Danny for the entire run of the show as it aired, but not for the...

Although Full House took place in the Bay Area, it turns out unexpected reunions take place in Beverly Hills. Dave Coulier just met up with an alum of the hit series. Who did he run into and how did they commemorate this special occasion?

On Friday, Full House star Dave Coulier shared on Instagram a selfie with one of his former costars, Lori Loughlin. He wrote, “I was taking a walk through Beverly Hills today and guess who spotted me? What are the chances! Everywhere you look @fullhouserewind #rebeccadonaldson #joeygladstone #fullhouse.”

A very trim Dave Coulier is wearing dark sunglasses and his grey baseball hat on backward. As for Lori, she looks classic with pearl stud earrings, some gold necklaces, and a white blazer and t-shirt. She certainly does not look like she is out working out.

Full House actors Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin reunited by chance in Beverly Hills, and the photo of the two together was subsequently posted online. For Coulier, it was the perfect time to quote the sitcom's iconic theme song.

In the classic comedy series, along with the sequel series Fuller House, Coulier played Joey Gladstone, a friend of Bob Saget's Danny Tanner who helped with raising his roommate's three daughters. Lori Loughlin also played Rebecca Donaldson, a co-worker of Danny's who ends up marrying Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos), making her an official part of the family as well. On X on Friday, Coulier shared an image of himself alongside Loughlin to share that he just happened to bump into his former co-star.

The house featured in the opening credits of Full House and Netflix reboot Fuller House is again on the market in San Francisco.

The owner of the 3,728-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home is asking $6.5 million. In addition, there are two laundry rooms, a gym and a private movie theater and a two-car garage, among other amenities.

Located in the city’s Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood, the home was once owned by Jeff Franklin, the creator of Full House.

The original Full House family allegedly lived in one of the homes called the Painted Ladies in San Francisco’s Alamo Square. The red-doored house in the opening credits and now on sale was a facade located at 1709 Broderick Street in San Francisco.

The interiors for both shows were shot on a soundstage.

Variety has broken the news that there’s a new horror film called Murder with the Stars heading our way – and this one’s coming from an unexpected creative team. Actor Jonathan Silverman, who is best known for his work in comedies like Caddyshack II and the Weekend at Bernie’s duology, will be directing the film, which is being produced by Jeff Franklin, the creator of the TV show Full House and its follow-up Fuller House!

Comedian Craig Shoemaker has written the screenplay… so, while the project isn’t being referred to as a horror comedy at this time, we can probably expect to see a good amount of comedy in the finished product. Shoemaker has previously written episodes of Just the Ten of Us and Fuller House, as well as the films The Lovemaster and Totally Baked.

Shoemaker told Variety, “This concept came to me several months ago,...

The co-writer/producer of 1987 comedy Summer School and creator of “Full House,” Jeff Franklin is headed into the horror space with Murder with the Stars, Variety reports.

Jonathan Silverman will be directing and starring in the upcoming horror film, which was written by Craig Shoemaker. Plot details are under wraps at this time.

“This concept came to me several months ago, and I knew I was onto something unique and fun,” Shoemaker tells the outlet. “Since then, the creative process has unfolded effortlessly with two old friends signing on, Jonathan Silverman and Jeff Franklin.”

He adds, “It’s a killer team. In the case of this horror film, pun intended.”

Murder with the Stars will be produced by Pelican Point Media.

Stay tuned for more as we learn it.

The post “Full House” Creator Jeff Franklin Producing Horror Movie ‘Murder with the Stars’ appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

“Full House” and “Fuller House” creator Jeff Franklin is set to produce a new horror film, “Murder with the Stars.” Craig Shoemaker penned the screenplay and will serve as a producer, with Jonathan Silverman set to direct and act in the movie.

“This concept came to me several months ago, and I knew I was onto something unique and fun,” Shoemaker said. “Since then, the creative process has unfolded effortlessly with two old friends signing on, Jonathan Silverman and Jeff Franklin. It’s a killer team. In the case of this horror film, pun intended.”

“Murder with the Stars” will be created in partnership with Jaclyn and Ike Suri of Pelican Point Media, a film finance and production company, that has produced horror and comedy films like the 2016 thriller “Exposed,” starring Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves. Silverman is repped by Authentic Talent and Brave Artists, and Shoemaker is repped by Innovative Artists.

More than two years after the passing of legendary funnyman Bob Saget, he is getting remembered by his Full House family. The occasion came on Friday, which would have been his 68th birthday.

On Instagram, Full House star John Stamos (Jesse Katsopolis) shared an image that saw several cast members from the series all back together again. Along with Stamos, other actors featured are Dave Coulier (Joey Gladstone), Candace Cameron Bure (DJ Tanner), Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner), Scott Weinger (Steve Hale), and series creator Jeff Franklin. Also featured are Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen, who shared the role of little Michelle Tanner in Full House, though they did not return for the sequel series, Fuller House. The reunion photo can be viewed below.

The creator of Full House spilled some tea about casting the beloved sitcom, and we learned some exciting new details about how the show came together.

Starring the likes of Bob Saget, John Stamos, Lori Laughlin and more, the show dominated the late ’80s and ’90s. It still has a devoted following to this day.

Creator Jeff Franklin stopped by franchise stars Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber‘s How Rude, Tanneritos podcast to talk the show’s creation and success.

In the process, he revealed two actors who didn’t need to audition for their roles. Jeff also revealed the role that they had an exceptionally difficult time casting.

The two castmates who didn’t audition were Jodie and John.

“Jodie for sure because I stumbled onto that tape of her from Valerie,” Jeff recalled, referring to another show that the actress appeared on.

Bob Saget's presence in the Full House cast was essential, and a reunion without him is uncertain. Full House actors remain close and continue to honor Saget, sharing their admiration for him on social media. The recent Instagram post by John Stamos shows one of the last reunions of the original Full House cast, including Saget.

A Full House photo, featuring the main cast members, shows one of their final reunions with Bob Saget.

Nearly a year after an L.A. judge dismissed Jeff Franklin’s lawsuit over his Fuller House firing, he has voluntarily dismissed his appeal and reached a deal with Bryan Behar to also resolve their dispute over attorney’s fees.

Franklin in April 2019 sued Behar alleging the showrunner orchestrated his ouster. He had been removed from Fuller House in February 2018 amid complaints about his behavior, but he claimed Behar fabricated and twisted information and gave it to the media and Warner Bros. to get him thrown off the show.

Behar responded with an anti-slapp motion, which are intended to bring an early end to frivolous claims arising from protected activity like free speech. If a defendant prevails, typically they are awarded attorney’s fees and the plaintiff has an automatic right to an appeal.

TV’s IP fetish is no coincidence. Recognizable titles and stars can guarantee strong initial tune-in off of modest marketing. But long-term results are lackluster. Just look at the past decade’s worth of revivals. Different from reboots or remakes, risky ventures in their own right, a revival features original castmembers of long-departed series revisiting characters for whom there’s an assumed appetite. Viewers aren’t often as hungry as studio brass would like. The average life span of recent revivals is three seasons, while their originals averaged eight-year runs. So as Paramount+ kicks off October by nixing one revived comedy (iCarly, starring Miranda Cosgrove, above) and attempting to mount another (Frasier with Kelsey Grammer, which premiered Oct. 12), The Hollywood Reporter examines 10 case studies from this revivals wave and where they went right … or horribly wrong.

Jodie Sweetin and Candace Cameron Bure reunited at '90s Con with other Full House cast members amid rumors of their falling out. The supposed conflict between Sweetin and Cameron Bure started in late 2022 and was about their differing views on same-sex marriage. Despite the alleged rift, if another Full House spin-off or Fuller House season 6 happens, it may be possible for Sweetin and Cameron Bure to work together again based on their appearances together.

Full House co-stars Jodie Sweetin and Candace Cameron Bure reunite again after their alleged fight. Playing Danny Tanner's daughters, DJ and Stephanie, on the beloved sitcom, the pair grew up in front of the camera. Years after Full House ended, they still maintained a great relationship off-screen, which helped when they reprised their roles in Netflix's Fuller House. That being said, Sweetin and Cameron Bure's friendship has reportedly been on the rocks for quite a while now.

Full House Rewind, the rewatch podcast hosted by Dave Coulier, is pushing the pause button on the release of new episodes until the SAG-AFTRA strike is over.

Oh, and just so you have something to look forward to, the next episode up when we get back, our guest…let’s just say his name begins with a J and he’s got great hair.”

Updated: A week after Dave Coulier launched a new rewatch podcast for “Full House,” the beloved sitcom he appeared on opposite the late Bob Saget, the TV actor has decided to pause releasing new episodes during the SAG-AFTRA strike.

“Though the podcast series has many episodes that were recorded before the strike was authorized, Dave assures fans of the new series that they can look forward to more entertaining content in the meantime on socials and will be back to releasing new episodes as soon as the strike concludes,” the podcast’s producers said in a statement.

Coulier posted a brief video on Instagram, writing in the caption, “While we have many more @FullHouseRewind episodes ready for release, each with a very special guest, we’re going to be pressing pause until the SAG-AFTRA strike is resolved. In the meantime, I look forward to continuing to entertain you on all of our socials,...

Both Full House Rewind and What's Up, Tanneritos! are Full House rewatch podcasts, but the hosts insist there is no rivalry between them. Full House Rewind has a video format and features interviews with guests stars, while What's Up, Tanneritos! focuses on audio plus special clips. The hosts' perspectives differ as Dave Coulier was an adult when Full House started, while Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber were young children.

Amid the launch of two simultaneous Full House rewatch podcasts, their hosts are insisting that there is no bad blood or competition between them. Uncle Joey actor Dave Coulier just debuted Full House Rewind, which just aired its premiere episode with series creator Jeff Franklin, and is set to feature a string of other guests stars in the coming weeks. Just a few days later, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber also debuted their own Full House podcast with How Rude, Tanneritos!

Dave Coulier recalls auditioning for Danny Tanner despite originally auditioning for Joey Gladstone. He had to unexpectedly read for the father and ended up not getting any laughs. Bob Saget's performance as Danny Tanner in Full House shouldn't be overlooked. He brought the family together, balancing discipline with support, despite his reputation for dirty jokes in real life. There are no concrete plans for another Full House spin-off, but Coulier is willing to return if the opportunity arises, as his good friend Saget would have wanted.

Dave Coulier recalls having to read for Danny Tanner after auditioning for Full House's Joey Gladstone.

John Stamos melted hearts as the loving Uncle Jesse on Full House, but the actor almost quit the show before it even started. In a recent conversation with Dave Coulier (who portrayed Joey Gladstone on the sitcom) for his new rewatch podcast Full House Rewind, series creator Jeff Franklin shared some insight into the series' origins. As it turns out, Stamos was none too pleased that Jodie Sweetin, who was five at the time, stole the show during the very first table read. In the early 1980s, just years before Full House premiered in 1987, Stamos was well known for his portrayal of Blackie Parrish on ABC's General Hospital; the role earned Stamos a 1983 Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

When Full House began, Stamos was the most recognizable castmate and as Franklin shared (via EW), most of the studio and network executives attending the series'...

John Stamos is best known for portraying Uncle Jesse in the ABC sitcom Full House. Although Stamos loves the recognition he gets from the show, it wasn’t always like that.

The actor recently opened up about how he initially “hated” the comedy after he realized the show was more family-oriented and not like Bosom Buddies as it was originally pitched.

“Full House was… I hated that show,” Stamos said during an appearance on Hot Ones. “Obviously I ended up loving it but it was sort of pitched to me as Bosom Buddies … with a couple of kids in the background. And as we’re casting I was like, ‘They’re spending a lot of time casting these kids that are going to be in the background.'”

He continued, “We did a table read of it and I was the star coming off of General Hospital … and we sit...

“Full House” creator Jeff Franklin is going down memory lane on Dave Coulier‘s new series, “Full House Rewind”. Franklin appeared on the first episode of the PodCo series, where he and Coulier reminisced about the pilot episode of the popular family comedy, which starred the late Bob Saget, John Stamos, Coulier, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen.

During the episode, which Coulier dedicated to Saget, Franklin revealed Sweetin was the first actor cast on “Full House”. He shared that after they held the first cast table read, Stamos was ready to get off the show because he was concerned Sweetin and the younger actors would take the spotlight.

“I remembered our first table read,” Coulier said.

“Where there’s a room full of studio and network executives. They were all there to see Stamos, I think,” Franklin recalled.

“Jodie just stole the show,” Coulier remembered.

Jeff Franklin, the creator of Full House, is looking back at how the show began and recalled a moment when John Stamos almost backed out of the series.

The writer-producer-director appeared on the first episode of Dave Coulier’s new podcast, Full House Rewind, which they dedicated to the late Bob Saget.

While talking about the show’s first table read with the actors, Franklin noted that there was a “room full of studio and network executives and everybody who could possibly be there. They were all there to see Stamos, I think.”

But Franklin recalled that “Jodie [Sweetin] just stole the whole thing” with her humor, which he said left Stamos upset because he was afraid the younger stars were going to steal the spotlight.

Coulier chimed in and said he remembers “walking out with John” afterward when the Scream Queens actor told him, “The whole show’s gonna be her.

Jodie Sweetin was the first actor to be cast in Full House, playing Stephanie Tanner. Even though John Stamos had an established career, he was not the first to be cast. Jeff Franklin was set on Sweetin as Stephanie from the beginning, based on her previous acting experience.

Creator Jeff Franklin reveals which Full House actor was the first one to be cast. In the late '80s, ABC put out its own spin on a family sitcom with the San Francisco-based comedy. Following the Tanners, Full House was technically an ensemble series, but Franklin knew from the very start that he wanted one actor in the show.

Sitting with Dave Coulier, who played Joey Gladstone in the show, Franklin reveals that Jodie Sweetin was the first actor to be cast in Full House. The actor portrayed Stephanie Tanner, Danny's middle child. She eventually reprised the role for five seasons...

Good TV shows typically stand the test of time. But once in a while, network and streaming service executives realize that a conclusion might have happened too soon, or that they can capitalize on the popularity of an existing universe. They thus make the risky decision to bring back these small-screen projects.

Fan interest can lead to a TV show getting revived, with the powers that be figuring that the ratings will still be high if the show is brought back. Another factor can be networks wanting to bet on a known property that audiences will recognize. There are many reasons why reviving a TV show makes sense. Unfortunately, lightning often fails to strike the same place twice.

Full House is one of the most beloved sitcoms from the late 1980s and early 1990s, and though it was full of heartwarming moments, it also has various, truly weird storylines that would be better to forget they ever happened. Created by Jeff Franklin, Full House aired on ABC from 1987 to 1995 for a total of eight seasons, through which the audience followed the many ups and downs in the lives of the Tanner family, who weren’t your typical family. Though Full House wasn’t a critical success, it has become quite popular as the years go by.

Set in San Francisco, Full House follows Danny Tanner (Bob Saget), a widowed father of three girls – DJ (Candace Cameron), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin), and Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) – who enlists the help of his brother-in-law, Jesse (John Stamos), and his childhood best friend Joey (Dave Coulier) to raise his daughters.

The cast of Fuller House is set to reunite again, this time with its controversial creator, Jeff Franklin.

Everywhere you look, the “Full House” cast is there for its fans. The upcoming ’90s Con in Tampa, Florida, will feature a panel with Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, Dave Coulier, Scott Weinger and creator Jeff Franklin.

This marks the first time Franklin will be on a panel with the group since he was ousted from spinoff “Fuller House” in 2018 amid complaints of his behavior.

The group will be onsite for at the Tampa Convention Center on Saturday, September 16, and and Sunday, September 17 for autographs, selfies, professional photos ops and the full reunion panel.

90s Con was created in 2019 by Thats4Entertainment, the company behind ChristmasCon.

“As 90s kids, we thought it would be such a cool idea to be able to bring together tv show, movie and music reunions that we all grew up with,” co-founders Liliana Kligman and Christina Figliolia recently told Variety. “We knew the...

During its eight-year run, Full House has some intriguing behind-the-scenes stories that change how the family sitcom is perceived. The ABC cult classic introduced the Tanner clan and their extended family led by Bob Saget's Danny Tanner. Full House was never a critical darling, but it was a commercial success thanks to its realistic portrayal of the joys and difficulties of parenting.

Half of Full House's main cast members are kids. Candace Cameron-Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen play the Tanner kids, DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle. They join Saget's Danny, John Stamos' Uncle Jesse Katsopolis, and Dave Coulier's Joey Gladstone. Over the years, the ensemble expanded with the addition of Lori Loughlin's Becky Donaldson and Andrea Barber's Kimmy Gibbler. With a big cast, Full House doesn't have any shortage of curious behind-the-scenes stories.

Jodie Sweetin Didn’t Have To Audition As Stephanie...

Jeff Franklin’s lawsuit over his ouster from Fuller House has been dismissed, as an L.A. judge found he was unlikely to prove that showrunner Bryan Behar was responsible for his contract not being renewed.

Franklin was taken off the Full House spin-off in February 2018 amid complaints about gender discrimination and other inappropriate behavior, but he maintains it was all orchestrated by Behar. Franklin sued Behar in April 2019, alleging his colleague fabricated and twisted information and gave it to the media and Warner Bros. in an effort to get him thrown off the show.

Behar filed a special motion to strike the complaint under California’s anti-slapp statute, which brings an early end to lawsuits arising from protected activity like free speech unless the plaintiff can prove they’re likely to prevail. Behar said Warners approached him and his statements to the company investigator about Franklin are “indisputably” activity...

Amid a beloved ensemble cast, Jodie Sweetin was always perfect to play Stephanie in Full House. While it was never a critical darling, Full House gained recognition for showing the highs and lows of parenting from the perspectives of both the parents and the children. This made Full House relatable for a wide demographic and resulted in a nine-year run on ABC. Its narratives, however, would not have worked had it not been for an excellent cast. Interestingly, one actor did not go through the rigorous audition process to land their role because producers already knew they were perfect for a specific character.

When Full House ended after season eight, it seemed like the Tanners' story on the small screen had ended. Despite no longer working together, most actors maintained contact with each other, regularly holding mini-reunions. While it took a while to get a spinoff moving, it wasn't until...

After the banner year of 2021, L.A.’s high-end real estate market is seeing challenges, including some softening of prices, continued low inventory and rising interest rates (an average 30-year fixed mortgage rate today is about 5.8 percent compared with about 2.9 percent a year ago). “It will take some time for buyers to acclimate to the interest rate increases; it’s all cyclical,” says Hilton & Hyland’s Justin Paul Huchel. But for L.A.’s top agents, these setbacks are an opportunity to refocus on a core value: finding clients their perfect home. Despite the market softening, agents profess that they aren’t worried. According to Redfin, the median sale in Beverly Hills still clocks in at 3.8 million, up 15.4 percent from last year. And agents aren’t hurting financially, either. Although marketing, staff and office space must be factored in, many of the area...
