As a dedicated fan of ’90s sitcoms and an ardent supporter of actress Christine Lakin, I must confess my profound disappointment over her unceremonious exit from the beloved Netflix series, ‘Fuller House’. The irony is not lost on me that a show which prides itself on nostalgia and continuity would so abruptly disconnect such a cherished alumnus.
Actress Christine Lakin, famously recognized for her character Alison Lambert on the ’90s ABC/CBS sitcom ‘Step by Step’, recently shared insights from her time in the Netflix spin-off series of ‘Full House’, titled ‘Fuller House’. She discussed both her initial casting and eventual dismissal from the show. This conversation took place on the How Rude, Tanneritos! Podcast, which is hosted by Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber – both of whom had roles in ‘Full House’ and its successor, ‘Fuller House’.
Initially, Lakin shared her excitement about getting a call for a role on the popular show Fuller House, which was created by Jeff Franklin. After having a successful meeting, she was eager to appear on the series. But, two days before the rehearsal, she got another call from her manager – this time to inform that the rehearsal was being postponed. Sadly, she found out later that she had been replaced from the show.
Two days prior to our scheduled table read, my manager phoned me with some intriguing news. “It seems there’s been a change,” he said. “They’ve decided to move up the table read. It appears they’re making adjustments to the script—some rewrites, I believe.” As a movie enthusiast, I find myself eagerly awaiting updates on our production, and this latest development only fuels my anticipation!
The following day, my manager phoned me and shared the unfortunate news that I had been terminated. He expressed his difficulty in delivering the message, saying, ‘I’m sorry, but it appears they’ve decided to rewrite your character, and you won’t be required anymore.’ I was taken aback and asked for clarification, wondering, ‘What exactly do you mean?’ To which he replied, ‘It seems the production team is altering the character and no longer needs your involvement. I couldn’t help but ask, ‘Were there any issues with my performance or behavior?’ As I hadn’t attended a table read yet.
Fuller House, which debuted on Netflix in 2016, is a follow-up to the much-adored sitcom, Full House, that ran from 1987 to 1995. Set some time after the original show’s storyline, Fuller House revolves around D.J. Tanner-Fuller, a widowed vet, who, along with her sister Stephanie and best friend Kimmy, moves back into her family home to raise her three boys. The series brought back fond memories for fans, reminding them of the endearing qualities that made its precursor so cherished.
Christine Lakin’s Participation In A Satirical Video Led to Some ‘Bad Blood’
Despite not being provided with an explicit explanation for her termination, Lakin proposes an intriguing hypothesis linking it to Candace Cameron Bure’s role on Fuller House. Lakin suggests that her part in a 2012 satirical video titled ‘CCOKC – Child Celebrities Opposing Kirk Cameron’ may have played a role in the unexpected turn of events.
In this video produced by Funny or Die, Lakin and other ex-child stars satirically targeted Kirk Cameron, an outspoken actor known for his divisive anti-LGBTQ+ comments. His sister was also involved in these comments. The comedic skit took aim at Cameron’s views on the LGBTQ+ community, which he deemed “unnatural,” and he even went so far as to label same-sex marriages as harmful.
“I took part in a video produced by ‘Funny or Die’ which a friend of mine had created, and this was around the time when the platform first launched. At that point, Kirk Cameron had made some controversial comments about the LGBTQ community that I found highly harmful. I believe these remarks may have caused some tension. Seven years later, it seems my involvement in the video was no longer welcome.”
Ultimately, Lakin voiced her dismay about not getting the part, saying, “I was truly let down. I honestly was.” Additionally, she made it clear that the intention behind the video was intended to be humorous, rather than harmful.
