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.

Lets see if bribing an official with $500K is as bad as some of the other reasons people's careers have been DESTROYED of late.

Will her scenes consist of her making phone calls from her jail cell?

I recently read somewhere that she thinks she's going get off by pleaing
"ignorance of the law". Yeah, good luck with that one.

Are coaches officials?

Is there really a need to charge Rich with a syntax violation? Do we
really have to discuss it? Coaches were indeed being bribed to say that
they needed the celebrity's son or daughter to play on their teams. If
you're unfamiliar with the scandal, please read up on it.

The real dirty secret is that most parents would've done the
same if they could've afforded it.

Indeed, many parents work very aggressively to get their kids
on good sports team, then get them adequate play time, so as to
increase their chances of getting an athletic scholarship. Other
parents game the system to get their kids into good schools and
good classes, again, to improve their chances.

As mentioned, one prominent and successful TV star in a long
running show did time for dealing hard drugs. That doesn't
bother anyone, and that was hurting other people and contributing
to the drug mess. He's still doing just fine.

The late George Carlin had a long record of narcotics and crime.
Some of the young college students he beat up probably weren't
big fans. Yet that never hurt his very big career. In his
memoir, he made no apologies about it.

I personally don't agree with their doing this to get their kids in, but if they (authorities, school officials) pursue this, how many donations to schools that allow them to build things would be disqualified? They should think long and hard about whether they want to keep going full-bore on investigations and prosecutions.

None. The school donations help every student who attends the school,
unlike an under-the-table bribe.

I have no reason to believe that most parents raise their children to be
unethical shitheads.

If the children do real work to become better athletes, then they're
learning a positive life lesson. If the children do their homework while
in those good schools, then they're learning.

Paying someone else to take a test on behalf of the child is teaching
the child entirely the wrong lesson.

I don't see how those are stories of children learning how to get ahead
by cheating.

You should see the enormous athletic center the Ryans donated to
Northwestern. If something like that had been there when I was a
student, I don't think I'd have been allowed in the front door.

I certainly took classes in buildings donated by Lester Crown. You can
always tell: They're concrete clad. It was a thing back then. I have a
pretty good idea how he made his money.

Don't be naïve.

Although our society glorifies athletes*, athletic skills do not
necessarily translate into a "positive life lesson". Further,
a lot of crap goes on on kids' sports teams.

Yes. But that, and other crap is done.

That's not really what the campus buildings look like.

I always figured they were concrete-clad 'cuz that's what Crown
requested. If you don't know who he is (yes, he's still alive), you
won't understand why he would have done that.

Ok. It is, nevertheless, what I believe.

You're doing that thing in which I write one thing and you interpret it
to mean something unrelated. I didn't say "athletic skills translate
into a positive life lesson". I said that a child learning to do the
work necessary to improve his athletic abilities means he's learned a
positive life lesson.

Yes, hancock. That's what we're actually talking about.

>Celebrity scandal.

It's still not relevant to your claim that most parents would encourage
their children to cheat to get ahead if given the right opportunity.
