Jodie continued, “I didn’t actually bring him backfor Fuller House. He’s still kindof wrapped up in a little bag in my office, well preserved. He also has agedgracefully over the last twenty years. But yeah, I will try and bring him backone of these days.”
Whenasked whether their show jumped the shark, the Stephanie Tanner actressadmitted, “A lot of our episodes were a little far fetched. Imean, how many things crashed through the kitchen window? We had a cementtruck. I crashed a car through it. We never jumped the shark because the shark was long jumped when we started.”

Earlier this week the ladies sat down for aninterview with Good Morning America. There they discussed reuniting with theirformer cast members 21 years after their show ended.
“The chemistry’s real,” Candace said. “If you can’t tell howclose we are and how much we love each other, it’s all true and real and Ithink the show is classic and timeless in the sense that it’s about family, andit’s about love and those stories carry through to any and every generation.”
She added, “It’s such a pleasure I can’t even express to you, toget to work with your best friends every day.”
The focus of the new show is on Candace’s character D.J., who is a mother to three boys and has been recentlywidowed.
