Lori Loughlin went on to talk about Fuller House and how great it is because it gives you a sense of comfort when you watch it. Here is what Loughlin had to say.

“I think that Full House is just a feel-good show. It’s not meant to be anything more than just a little silly, funny, heartfelt and warm program. We don’t care if sometimes you think our approach is cheesy. We don’t care. We know exactly what we are. I laugh when critics harp all over the show and really want to take it down. I just think ‘Wow, you guys are the fools. You’ve missed the whole point of the show, you’ve really missed it. You guys are morons.’ It’s an easy target to go after Full House, and I just think these critics are so short-sighted and they’re just missing the joke. You’re picking on a show that’s not meant to be anything more than it is.”

Lori Loughlin went on to share that she took Full House for the first six episodes because she really needed the money at the time. Of course, this show ended up changing Lori’s entire life.

The show When Calls the Heart is a totally different role than Fuller House for Lori Loughlin, but she does a great job with it. Lori shared the detail of how she ended up on this show.

“It’s funny, a friend of mine was producing it, he called me up and he said, ‘Lori, I need your help. I want to try to sell this into a series.’ There are people at Hallmark who I love, like Bill Abbott, the president. I have a fan in Bill and I’m so thankful for that. This producer knew that. He was like, ‘I want to put you in this show because I need a name to help me sell it into a series. If it goes into a series, you can have the option of being a part of it.’ I went in and I worked the show for literally one day, and then it went to series.”

Lori then went on to explain that she found out they would be shooting in Vancouver, but she wasn’t going to be moving there. They worked it out with Lori Loughlin where she would shoot for a bit, then go home for a bit. Lori has loved working on this show and they have been able to make it work. It is very obvious that they really wanted Lori Loughlin on this series.
