Fuller House: DJ’s Worst Tragedy Was Stephanie’s Biggest Blessing
DJ's (Candace Cameron-Bure) worst nightmare in Fuller House turned out to be Stephanie's (Jodie Sweetin) biggest blessing. The Netflix spin-off opted to bank on nostalgia instead of carving an entirely new narrative. It essentially just re-used Full House's premise with DJ's arc mirroring her father Danny Tanner's (Bob Saget). Both were abruptly widowed, leaving her to raise three kids on her own. Meanwhile, Stephanie and Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) moved in with her — exactly what Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos) and Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier) did in the original '80s/'90s sitcom for the Tanner patriarch.
