Jodie Sweetin is having a very busy summer. The actress best known for playing Stephanie Tanner on “Full House” and “Fuller House” is making headlines on several fronts—from candid revelations about her cast-mate group chat to a brand-new dramatic turn in an upcoming Lifetime film. Full House group chat still buzzing During a recent interview, Sweetin confirmed that the beloved sitcom’s alumni stay in touch every day in an “extremely active” text thread. According to the star, comedian Dave Coulier recently sent a “horrifying” but hilarious photo that instantly blew up everyone’s phones, proving that the TV family’s chemistry remains intact decades later. She added that the chat often turns reflective when the cast shares memories of the late Bob Saget, keeping his legacy front-and-center for the tight-knit crew. Sweetin’s take on Ashley Olsen’s quiet leap into motherhood Another hot topic: Ashley Olsen’s journey as a new mom. Sweetin told PEOPLE that she’s “in awe” of how her notoriously private former co-star has embraced parenthood, calling Olsen “an incredible, dialed-in mother” while respecting her desire for privacy. The comments sparked a surge of nostalgic interest among fans eager for any glimpse of the Olsen twins’ post-Hollywood life. Pivoting from rom-coms to thriller territory Sweetin is also set to headline Lifetime’s Dateless to Dangerous: My Son’s Secret Life, premiering June 21, 2025.

Industry insiders predict the project could broaden Sweetin’s acting range and attract a fresh audience beyond nostalgic sitcom devotees.
