Fuller House's Lori Loughlin Problem: 6 Ways to Get Rid of Becky in Season 5
Fuller House will be a bit less full in its fifth and final season due to the (presumed) absence of TV’s erstwhile Aunt Becky.
As previously reported, there are currently no plans for embattled actress Lori Loughlin to reprise her role as longtime Wake Up, San Francisco cohost Rebecca Donaldson-Katsopolis during the Full House spinoff’s farewell run, a part she has played for a combined 11 seasons. In the wake of her well-publicized college bribery scheme, Loughlin has already been let go by Hallmark Channel, which is currently attempting to plot a future without the star of its wholesome When Calls the Heart drama and Garage Sale Mystery TV-movies.
