Sweetin has recently reflected on how much playing Stephanie meant to her in hindsight.
In a July appearance on The Dory Jackson Interview series, Sweetin noted, “I was 13 when the show ended, which is just the most awkward time of anyone’s life, you know what I mean?”
“So it was, you know, there was definitely… some awkward, you know, in there,” she said. “It’s nice to be able to return to the ’90s now with a different perspective of like, an adult who, you know, you can look back at your old childhood movies and be like, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s so silly,’ and appreciate them for what they are.”
Sweetin currently co-hosts the How Rude, Tanneritos! podcast with her co-star Andrea Barber (who played Kimmy Gibbler on Full House).
Speaking to host Dory Jackson, Sweetin said the pod has allowed them to “fall in love” with the show all over again.
“Going back and doing this rewatch podcast with Andrea, we got to kind of fall in love with Full House, having never watched the series like all the way through. We started realizing like, ‘Oh, yeah, there is something about this show and this family that just feels good,’ ” Sweetin said. “And I can see why people loved it and loved that family.”
