Full House vet Lori Loughlin, 56, ‘wants to come back to the theater’

Lori Loughlin is reportedly interested in working as an actress again now that her Varsity Blues college admissions scandal is behind her after serving a two-month prison sentence.

On Thursday, People claimed that the 56-year-old brunette beauty, who is best known for playing Becky on TV’s Full House and the subsequent Fuller House wake-up call, was hoping someone would hire her.

“She has always loved her career. She loves shooting and creating movies, ” said the insider who noted that a new TV show may be in her future.

The source also said: ‘She had previously stated that she would love to act again at some point. ”

But it’s not like she’ll be calling the casting directors to check in anytime soon.

“The only goal at the moment is to find Mossimo,” the friend added. “It looks like Lori will put everything on hold until Mossimo is home. She doesn’t really think of anything else.

Her freedom is still very new to her.

“Lori is still enjoying being back home,” a source shared with the site.

“The next big goal is of course to bring Mossimo home. No one can visit him in prison, because of COVID. He keeps in touch with his family through phone calls.

UsWeekly reported on Wednesday that he was going through a “difficult time” in prison.

Before the scandal, Lori had a flourishing career. She played Rebecca Katsopolis on Fuller House from 2016 to 2018, and also played the role of Abigail Stanton in When Calls the Heart from 2014 to 2019.

From 2013 to 2019, the Los Angeles resident portrayed Jennifer Shannon in The Yard Sale Mysteries.

His career began in 1971 with a small role in the television series The Smith Family. She went on to work on The Edge Of Night, Full House, Hudson Street, Summerland and 90210.

Loughlin was released from prison on Monday after spending two months behind bars for paying half a million dollars in bribes to bring her two daughters to college.

The popular television star has been released from federal prison in Dublin, California, where she was serving time for her role in the college admissions corruption program, the Federal Bureau of Prisons said. Her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, is serving his five-month sentence in a Lompoc prison near Santa Barbara, California.

According to People, Loughlin had a “ tearful ” reunion with his daughters Olivia Jade, 21, and Bella Rose, 22, upon his return home.

The actress was emotional as she returned home to her children in Los Angeles on Monday and is ‘more than relieved to be able to put her prison sentence behind her,’ a source said People.

The insider added, “ It’s the most stressful thing she’s ever known. She plans to spend New Years with Olivia and Bella. She is still worried about Mossimo and can’t wait to get him home.

Giannulli is expected to be released on April 17, according to the Bureau of Prisons. Prosecutors said Giannulli deserved a harsher sentence because he was “ the most active participant in the program ”.

Loughlin and Giannulli were among the most high-profile defendants charged in the scheme, revealing efforts by some wealthy parents to get their children to elite universities. Authorities said parents funneled bribes through a bogus charity run by an admissions consultant to bring their children to top schools with fake athletic credentials or rigged test results.

The famous couple admitted in May that they paid $ 500,000 to bring their two daughters into the University of Southern California as crew recruits, even though neither of the girls were rowers. Their guilty plea was a shocking reversal for the couple, whose lawyers had insisted for a year to be innocent and accused investigators of fabricating evidence against them.

The only public comments Loughlin or Giannulli have made on the case since their arrest last year were during their sentencing hearings in August. Loughlin told the judge her actions ‘have helped to exacerbate existing inequalities in society’ and pledged to do everything in her power to use her experience as a ‘catalyst for doing good’ .

Their youngest daughter, social media influencer Olivia Jade, made her first public remarks on the scandal this month on the ‘Red Table Talk’ series. Olivia Jade said she didn’t want or deserve pity.

“We were wrong. I just want a second chance to be like, “I admit I made a mistake.” And for so long I couldn’t talk about it because of the legality behind it, ”she said.

Loughlin and Giannulli were originally scheduled to report to jail on November 19, but prosecutors and defense lawyers have agreed that Loughlin could start his sentence on October 30. Loughlin also agreed she would not seek early release on coronavirus-related grounds, prosecutors said. .

Of nearly 60 parents, coaches and others indicted in the case, a dozen are still fighting the allegations. Sentences for parents who have argued in the case so far range from a few weeks to nine months. Actor Felicity Huffman served nearly two weeks in prison last year for paying an admissions consultant $ 15,000 to have a supervisor correct his daughter’s SAT answers.
