Where Jodie Sweetin Stands With Candace Cameron Bure After Feud Rumors

by

Everywhere she goes, Jodie Sweetin will have a few different opinions than Candace Cameron Bure.

Candace Cameron Bure recently talked about how her Full House co-star approaches and expresses her opinions on various issues.

Jodie explained on the February 12th episode of Only Child with Bob the Drag Queen that she and another person have very different perspectives. She described herself as someone who isn’t afraid to speak her mind, and doesn’t plan to change that.

Responding to Candace’s differing opinions, the 44-year-old simply stated, “If that doesn’t sound like you, then it isn’t.”

As a longtime fan, I was really disappointed when Candace Cameron Bure started her Great American Family channel and openly said it would focus on what she calls ‘traditional marriage.’ I remember Jodie Sweetin spoke out about it, addressing where she stood in relation to her former Fuller House costar’s views on the LGBTQ+ community, and I really appreciated her doing that.

Jodie explained on the April 2025 podcast, The Vault with Monica & Amir, that she and someone else have led very different lives and now live in separate spheres.

Despite their opposing perspectives, though, the pair share a lifetime of history. 

She’s been in my life since I was a little kid, practically family. We don’t always chat, and I know things can get tricky if politics come up, but honestly, I don’t dislike her. I’m definitely not going to avoid hugging her, that’s for sure.

Besides her difficult relationship with Candace, she also shared that she and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were very close friends when they were growing up.

Jodie shared on the Only Child podcast that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen would often visit her family on weekends. She fondly remembered introducing them to horseback riding – something Mary-Kate still enjoys today – and taking them to Disneyland. The twins would frequently spend those weekends with Jodie’s parents at her house.

The twins generally avoid public attention now. However, Jodie mentioned they were once very close and shared that she hopes they are doing well.

Though we know Full House as a feel-good family show, its creator, Jeff Franklin, initially planned to include more stand-up comedians alongside Dave Coulier’s character, Joey Gladstone.

He initially envisioned a show called House of Comics, a comedy centered around three comedians sharing a home. However, when ABC expressed interest in shows similar to Family Ties and The Cosby Show, he adjusted his idea to better fit their preferences.

Originally, the creator of the show, Franklin, wanted Bob Saget to play Danny Tanner, the father of three. However, Saget was already committed to another show, The Morning Program on CBS, so he wasn’t available. For the first pilot episode, John Posey played the part instead.

After Saget lost his job, Franklin hired Posey and gave him a role. Posey later appeared in popular shows like Seinfeld, ER, NCIS, and more recently, Teen Wolf and How to Get Away With Murder.

The character of Danny’s brother-in-law was initially named Adam Cochran in the first draft of the script. However, John Stamos felt the name didn’t quite fit, so it was changed to Jesse Cochran. Later, after the first season, Stamos wanted to incorporate his Greek background into the character and successfully changed the last name to Kastopolis. The show explained this change by saying Jesse had been using a stage name to create a more rock-and-roll persona – as if the name Cochran wasn’t cool enough!

Many sets of twin babies tried out for the part of Michelle Tanner, but Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen won the role because they were the only ones who didn’t cry during the audition. When you’re filming, it’s important to avoid having fussy babies disrupt the process.

Initially, Stamos wasn’t impressed with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It turned out their calm audition was a bit of a surprise, as they actually cried quite a bit at first. He revealed in 2015 that they were even briefly swapped with another set of red-headed twins, but that didn’t work out, and the Olsens were brought back. He confirmed the story, saying, “Yes, that was true.”

As a huge fan, I always found it fascinating how the show handled Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen! Apparently, the producers initially wanted to keep the fact that they were both playing Michelle Tanner a secret. So, for seasons two through seven, they cleverly credited them together as just “Mary-Kate Ashley Olsen” in the opening credits. It wasn’t until the final season, when they were already massive stars and everyone knew it was two babies sharing the role, that the credit finally changed to “Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen.” It’s a funny little bit of TV history, really!

As Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen got older and more distinguishable, the show’s producers thought about letting one of them go, with the idea of just having Mary-Kate continue playing Michelle. Surprisingly, it was John Stamos who insisted they both stay on the show, not wanting either twin to lose her job. It’s amazing how quickly things can change after just a few seasons.

The twins weren’t the only ones he’d grown fond of. Their younger sister, Elizabeth Olsen, also became close to the cast through regular visits to the set. She even had a small role in a 1995 episode, appearing as “Girl with Flowers.”

If you watch the first season closely, you’ll find that the mannequin in Joey’s room always wears the same shirt as Joey does in each scene. This running joke only lasted one season, but it’s surprisingly detailed and makes you wonder: why did Joey always dress his mannequin?

If you assumed Dave Coulier invented his famous “Cut. It. Out” catchphrase on his own, or that the Full House writers came up with it, you’d be mistaken. Coulier has confessed he actually borrowed it directly from a friend.

Before the show, while performing comedy with his friend Mark Cendrowski, Cendrowski had a bit where he’d play a charming character and jokingly tell women in the audience, “You’re in love with me, now stop it!”

In a 2014 interview with Buzzfeed, Coulier explained that he told Bob Saget he wanted to use one of Saget’s jokes. Saget playfully protested, saying it couldn’t be stolen. Coulier later used the joke as his signature bit on the Nickelodeon show Out of Control, and then brought it with him when Full House began, where it became a well-known part of his persona.

Following a fantasy sequence in season three that showed the child actresses as adults, Dave Coulier married actress Jayne Modean, who had played the grown-up Michelle on the show. They married in 1990 and had a son, Luc, that same year, but divorced in 1992.

Before her legal troubles, Lori Loughlin was famous for playing Aunt Becky on television. Interestingly, that wasn’t the original plan! She was initially hired for just six episodes as a love interest for the character Jesse. However, the producers were impressed by her connection with John Stamos, so they wrote the role to be ongoing, and she became a regular cast member.

According to Scott Weinger, who spoke with the Huffington Post in 2012, his character Steve was originally intended for just a single episode and wasn’t expected to become a regular in later seasons.

He remembered being hired for a single episode of the show, where D.J. was meant to be babysitting but decided to go on a date and brought the kids along. Unexpectedly, the producers liked his work and asked him to return the following season as D.J.’s boyfriend – a recurring role – which he was thrilled to accept.

Jodie Sweetin is the only main cast member of Full House who didn’t have to audition. After appearing on another show created by the same team, Valerie, producer Franklin was so impressed that he offered her a role on Full House, believing she was exactly what the show needed.

Both Dave Coulier and Bob Saget brought personal experiences to their roles when Joey moved in with Danny. Coulier had actually stayed with Saget years earlier, crashing on his couch for three weeks while traveling through Los Angeles. The main difference? Unlike Coulier, Joey Tribbiani never left, becoming a permanent fixture in the Tanner family home.

Everyone knew Bob Saget’s comedy was much edgier than his role on Full House suggested. It turns out he and his co-stars, John Stamos and Dave Coulier, were always joking around and getting into playful trouble on set, just to make each other laugh, even when they weren’t filming.

Bob, John, and I were always getting into trouble with the mothers on set, Coulier explained on Oprah: Where Are They Now in 2015. We didn’t know that the child actors could watch us on monitors in their dressing rooms.

During the first season, the connection between the three male leads wasn’t very strong, so a trip to Las Vegas was organized during their break to help them get closer. Unfortunately, Bob Saget, who was married at the time, couldn’t go, leaving John Stamos and Dave Coulier to make the trip as a duo. They bonded so well on the trip that the show’s writers started featuring Jesse and Joey together in many scenes, maximizing their on-screen time as a pair.

As a lifelong fan, I always knew how special John Stamos, Dave Coulier, and Jodie Sweetin were – they were in every single one of the 193 episodes of the show! It’s amazing to think about their dedication. Bob Saget would have been right there with them, but he wasn’t in the very first pilot episode, which is the only reason he doesn’t have a perfect attendance record.

Despite being set in the Bay Area, Full House almost entirely filmed indoors or on a studio lot. The only time the show actually filmed an episode on location in San Francisco was for a Season Eight episode called “Comet’s Excellent Adventure,” which featured a city-wide search after the family dog, Comet, ran away.

The script called for settings that couldn’t be recreated on the show’s Burbank set, so the actors traveled north for a few days of filming.

The show filmed a special episode at Walt Disney World, and D.J. playfully imagined her co-star, Steve, as Aladdin. In a funny moment, Steve actually dressed up in Aladdin’s costume – a clever nod to the fact that he originally voiced the character of Aladdin in the 1992 animated movie.

Everyone knows Danny Tanner is a neat freak, but surprisingly, that wasn’t always the case. If you watch the very first season of the show, you’ll notice his obsession with cleanliness didn’t kick in until the second season. In fact, there’s an early episode where Danny, Jesse, and Joey all need their moms to step in and help them get their lives sorted out. It just goes to show that things don’t always stay consistent in TV shows!

Just like D.J. and Steve on the show, Candace Cameron Bure took Weinger to her real-life prom, too.

Just to clarify, the dog famous for playing Air Bud wasn’t actually the one who played Comet. While that dog did make a cameo appearance in one episode to showcase some basketball skills, a different dog played the Tanner family’s dog for the rest of the series.

When Full House was most popular, both Stephanie and Michelle got their own book series. Stephanie’s series had 33 books, while Michelle’s had 40. Later, a 14-book series called Full House Sisters focused on their relationship. Finally, a four-part series, Full House: Dear Michelle, was released, featuring Michelle’s advice column from third grade.

What’s the Russian equivalent of saying “You got it, dude!”? Back in 2006, the American TV show Full House was licensed to a Russian network called STS for a local remake. This version, called Topsy-Turvy House, stayed fairly true to the original story but made changes to fit Russian culture. It first aired in 2009 and lasted for two seasons.

After ABC unexpectedly ended Full House in 1995 after eight seasons, there was a try to revive it on the new WB network. However, the plan failed when both John Stamos and Candace Cameron Bure declined to participate.
