Jodie Sweetin on Tanner Family Bond

0:00On April 27th, Jody Sweeten, who played Stephanie Tanner on Full House, just opened up about her real-life sister vibe with Mary Kate and Ashley. Olson, the twins who share the role of Baby Michelle, starting back in 1987, she was only five when the show kicked off, but from day one, it felt like family, not just acting. Sweeten says she loved hanging with the Olson's, treating them like little sisters since she was an only child. Offset, they did all the kid stuff, sleepovers at her house, weekends at the cabin horseback riding, trips to Disneyland, even dress up photos when they were toddlers and she was six. The show ran eight seasons to 1995 and those bonds stuck. But after a wrapped, live split, the Olson's blew up with videos and movies, building a fashion empire in New York, while Sweeten battled addiction, before getting sober in 2008. Over two decades, they drifted apart naturally, no drama, just different paths. They were only eight when Full House ended, so the closeness faded.

1:02Still, the cast linked up now and then, like at the 2004 premiere of the Olson's New York Minute, with Candice Cameron Beere and Bob Sagitt, there too. Then in 2022, Bob Sagitt's sudden death brought everyone back together for four straight days, and Sweeten says it felt just like old. Times, no time lost. Her tie with on-screen Bix's Bore has had bumps lately. Thanks to their opposite politics, Bore's conservative side versus Sweeten's support for LGBTQ. Plus rights and reproductive freedom. Sweeten keeps it real, she loves Bore, hugs it out at family events, respects her views without changing her own. Lives evolved, but that Tanner family heart lingers under it all.
