The Cast's Enduring Friendship: More Than Just Costars
The relationship between the Full House actors transcends typical Hollywood camaraderie, often described as a genuine family bond. This deep connection became a public focal point following the unexpected death of Bob Saget. His passing in 2022 galvanized the cast, leading to joint statements, emotional eulogies, and a commitment to keeping his memory alive. The actors regularly speak about their grief and the ways they continue to support Saget's wife and daughters, demonstrating that the "Tanner family" love is real.
Beyond the tributes, this friendship manifests in professional collaborations. John Stamos and Lori Loughlin, for instance, reunited in June 2024 for a telethon benefiting Project Angel Food, a charity that delivers meals to people with critical illnesses. This public display of unity, especially given Loughlin's legal challenges, underscored the cast's unwavering loyalty to one another, proving that their bond is unconditional.
From Sitcom to Stardom: Recent Career Pivots and Controversies
The professional paths of the Full House costars have diversified significantly since their time on the ABC sitcom. These recent pivots highlight their individual brand strategies and career intentions.
Candace Cameron Bure and the Great American Family Shift
Candace Cameron Bure, who built a massive following through her work on The Hallmark Channel, made a high-profile move to Great American Family (GAF), where she not only stars in but also executive produces content. Her focus is on creating faith-based and family-friendly programming, a clear strategic move that aligns with her personal brand. Her 2024 and 2025 slate, featuring Christmas films and the new mystery series, confirms her status as a powerhouse in this niche television market.
Lori Loughlin's Return to the Screen
Lori Loughlin's career was severely impacted by the College Admissions Scandal. Her return to acting has been cautious but steady. Her roles in GAF movies like Fall Into Winter and the Prime Video police drama On Call signal a deliberate effort to rebuild her professional life outside of the wholesome image she once held. Her casting in a police drama, a departure from her typical Hallmark-style roles, is an entity of note, showing a willingness to explore new, more serious genres as she navigates her comeback.
Dave Coulier's Health Battle and Podcast Success
The most recent and poignant update belongs to Dave Coulier. His November 2024 revelation of a second cancer battle—HPV-related oropharyngeal tongue cancer—came shortly after he had announced beating non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This news brought a rush of support from the cast and fans alike. Coulier has used his popular rewatch podcast, Full House Rewind, as a platform to share his health journey, providing a raw and honest look at his life that contrasts with his comedic public persona. The podcast itself has become a major entity, offering behind-the-scenes stories and interviews with other cast members like Candace Cameron Bure.
The Olsen Twins: Fashion's Exclusive Empire
While the rest of the cast focuses on acting and media, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen remain firmly planted in the fashion world with The Row. Their dedication to their brand is absolute, highlighted by their rare public appearances, such as at the 2024 New York Fashion Week, where they continue to set trends while maintaining a minimal media presence. Their choice to not participate in Fuller House was a clear demarcation of their new career path, making them the only main cast members to fully step away from Hollywood.
The Full House costars, whether through shared grief, professional collaboration, or personal health battles, continue to prove that the family they created on screen is a reality off-screen. Their individual journeys—from Candace Cameron Bure's executive power at GAF to John Stamos's continued musical and acting versatility—ensure that the Tanner legacy will remain a fixture in pop culture for years to come.
