Since Full House wrapped up its run in 1995, fans have often wondered where their favorite characters would be today. After all, who doesn’t think about the Tanner family from time to time? Well, wonder no more! In a recent round of interviews, Full House stars Candace Cameron Bure (DJ Tanner), Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey), and Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler) have shared their own imaginative predictions for where their characters would be in the present day. It’s a fun thought experiment that brings the beloved show back to life in a new way. So, let’s dive into these juicy predictions and see where the Full House cast believes their characters would be today!
The Tanner Family: Where Are They Now?
Candace Cameron Bure’s Take on DJ Tanner’s Future
Candace Cameron Bure’s portrayal of DJ Tanner, the oldest Tanner sibling, was central to the Full House storyline. Now, as Fuller House came to a conclusion in 2020, it’s clear that DJ’s life has evolved significantly, especially in her role as a mother of three. But where would DJ be today?
According to Bure, DJ would likely still be living in the same house, but life would be significantly different. “I could see DJ continuing to balance being a mother, businesswoman, and wife,” Bure says. “I think she would be more involved in her kids’ lives and possibly running a bigger business or organization. DJ’s heart would still be all about family, and she would be a huge support for her children and her siblings.”
Would DJ and Steve Still Be Together?
While Fuller House concluded with DJ marrying Steve (Scott Weinger), many fans have wondered what their relationship would look like after all these years. Candace suggests that DJ and Steve’s relationship would have matured into something deeper and more stable. “I imagine they would have an even stronger relationship,” Bure says. “They’ve been through so much together, and I think their family would be thriving with love and support.”
Uncle Joey: Still the Comedian at Heart?
Dave Coulier’s Prediction for Uncle Joey
Dave Coulier’s portrayal of Uncle Joey, the always-joking, never-serious character, made him a fan favorite. So, what does Coulier think Uncle Joey’s life would look like today?
“I think Uncle Joey would still be telling jokes and spreading laughter wherever he goes,” Coulier says. “He’d likely still be in the entertainment industry, maybe running his own comedy podcast or hosting a late-night show. Joey would probably have a few more children by now, given how much he loves kids.”
Uncle Joey and His Relationships
Coulier believes that Joey’s ability to find humor in any situation would serve him well in his relationships. While his journey would still be filled with funny moments, Coulier envisions Joey as more grounded, with a deeper focus on family. “Joey would definitely be married by now, probably to someone who shares his sense of humor,” he predicts. “And, of course, he would still be best friends with Danny Tanner.”
Kimmy Gibbler: Still the Fun and Quirky Best Friend
Andrea Barber Imagines Kimmy Gibbler’s Growth
Andrea Barber’s portrayal of Kimmy Gibbler, the quirky best friend who often stole the spotlight with her outlandish behavior, was a key part of Full House. So, what would Kimmy’s life look like today? Andrea Barber has some fun predictions for her character.
“I can see Kimmy running a successful business, maybe as a lifestyle influencer or something in the event planning industry,” Barber suggests. “She’s always had a passion for planning, and I think she would have turned that into something big.”
Kimmy’s Family Life
Kimmy Gibbler was a mother and businesswoman in Fuller House, and Andrea Barber believes Kimmy would still be juggling her personal and professional life. “She’s always had a strong personality and could be a successful entrepreneur,” Barber says. “But she’d still be the same fun, lovable, and loyal friend to DJ and Stephanie. Kimmy would definitely be a big part of the Tanner family’s life, whether she’s helping raise kids or organizing family events.”
The Importance of Family and Humor in Their Lives
How Would the Tanner Family Stay Connected?
One of the strongest aspects of Full House and Fuller House was the unbreakable bond between the Tanner family. Candace, Dave, and Andrea all agree that family would still play a crucial role in their characters’ lives today.
“Even if DJ, Kimmy, and Joey have their own families and businesses, I believe they would always come together,” says Candace. “Family means everything to these characters, and they would continue to support one another through thick and thin.”
The Role of Humor in Their Lives
While their characters have all matured and evolved over the years, humor would still play a huge role in their lives. For Dave Coulier’s Uncle Joey, it’s all about bringing laughter to others. “Humor has always been a way for Joey to connect with people, and I think that would continue,” Coulier notes. “He’d be the guy cracking jokes at every family gathering, keeping the atmosphere lighthearted and fun.”
What Would Be the Biggest Changes for Their Characters Today?
Personal Growth and Career Advancements
Over the years, the Full House characters have experienced growth, and today, Candace, Dave, and Andrea believe their characters would be more self-assured and established. DJ Tanner would likely have a thriving career, Kimmy would be a successful businesswoman, and Uncle Joey would be enjoying a stable and fulfilling life.
The Next Generation of Tanners
With the next generation of Tanners growing up, Candace, Dave, and Andrea all imagine their characters continuing to pass down life lessons to the younger generation. “I think they would all have strong relationships with the kids, guiding them and helping them grow,” says Candace.
