Lori Loughlin would do ‘Full House’ reunion show after ‘insane’ college admissions scandal: co-star

Dave Coulier wants to get the “Full House” gang back together.

The actor, 64, pitched his idea for another “Full House” reunion show that he’s dubbing “Fullest House” in an exclusive interview with The Post.

Coulier, who played Uncle Joey in the beloved sitcom, said he’s confident most of the cast would return — including Lori Loughlin as Aunt Becky.

“I know Lori Loughlin would probably do it in a heartbeat,” Coulier said.

Loughlin, 60, has been pretty quiet since she was infamously caught up in the 2019 “Varsity Blues” college admissions scandal.

The actress and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, pleaded guilty in 2020 to conspiracy charges. The couple paid $500,000 to get their daughters into the University of Southern California. Loughlin served two months in prison, paid a $150,000 fine and agreed to two years of supervised release and 100 hours of community service.

Despite the scandal, Coulier said he wants Loughlin to be apart of “Fullest House” since he considers her “family.”

“We’ve all had life ups and downs, you know, and she got really harshly criticized for that chapter of her life,” he explained. “But audiences are fickle, as well. And I think she’s kind of taken a back seat and been very off the radar. And I understand that. I would be the same way.”

“I would be like, oh, my gosh, you know, what an insane chapter of my life. I need to kind of step away and just kind of reassess,” Coulier continued. “But she’s still working and she’s still doing stuff. We would love to have her. She’s part of the ‘Full House’ family.”

“Full House” aired on ABC from 1987 to 1995. In 2016, Netflix launched the sequel series “Fuller House” centered on Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber’s characters. Coulier, Loughlin, John Stamos and Bob Saget made guest appearances, while Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen did not return.

Coulier told The Post that fans shouldn’t be surprised if the cast ends up reuniting again for another project.

“Don’t count us out, there may be a ‘Fullest House,’” he said.

Coulier went on, “I would love to do it. I’m the one kind of pushing the ball up the hill right now to do it. So I would love to reunite with everybody and do a little bit of a different show. Maybe kind of a flashback show where we are present day navigating our way through adulthood, and we flashback to episodes of the original show that gives us guidance.”

“Something like that I think would be really cool. So don’t count us out. I’ll just say that that’s what’s in my head.”

Coulier confirmed that he’s spoken to some of his former castmates about making “Fullest House” a reality.

“I know that Andrea would do it in a heartbeat,” he said. “I know Lori Loughlin would probably do it in a heartbeat. Jodie would probably do it in a heartbeat. I think Candace… I think John would be kind of sitting back, going, ‘You know, didn’t we do this already?’ And my comment to him would be, ‘Well, not this way. Not this way.’”

Coulier will have the chance to pitch the show to Bure, Sweetin and Barber when they join him at 90’s Con in Daytona Beach, Florida this weekend.
