Lori Loughlin in secret talks to rejoin 'Fuller House' amid college
bribe scandal
Lori Loughlin is in secret talks to return to Fuller House and her role
as Aunt Becky on the hit Netflix series despite her entanglement in the
recent explosive college admissions case, according to RadarOnline.com.
“Publicly, the producers have said nothing about Lori and her situation
over the bribery scandal,” a source noted. “They didn’t say she would
never return to the show.”
As Radar reported, Loughlin, 54, was arrested in March for conspiracy to
commit mail fraud and wire fraud after allegedly paying $500,000 to
secure her daughters Bella, 20, and Olivia Jade, 19, admission to the
University of Southern California.
“Lori is beloved by the entire cast and crew of Fuller House, as well as
the producers and the executives at Netflix,” the source explained of
why Loughlin has a good chance of staging a comeback.
According to the source, Loughlin “would secretly film her scenes with
other cast members but not in front of a studio audience,” and she’d
appear on four episodes when the show returns.
“Filming would not happen until later this summer, and producers hope
all the controversy surrounding Loughlin will have died down by the time
the episodes air later this year and they will have a ratings bonanza
with Aunt Becky back on the show,” said the insider.
And it’s not just the executives who are behind the daring plan.
“John Stamos and other cast members have gone to bat for Lori, and
really like this idea,” said the source.
