Unusual Media Questions

In a recent episode of their podcast, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber revisited some of the unusual questions they faced during their careers, particularly regarding their co-star, John Stamos. The actresses recalled how fans and media often posed awkward inquiries about their relationships with Stamos, leading them to share their thoughts on the oddity of such questions.

The “Rather Rather” Game

During an engaging segment called the “rather rather” game, the duo was asked whether they would choose to marry characters Joey Gladstone, portrayed by Dave Coulier, or Jesse Katsopolis, played by Stamos. Surprisingly, both actresses quickly opted for Joey, expressing their discomfort with the overall premise of the question.

Comments on the Media’s Curiosity

Barber, 48, commented on the strangeness of frequent media inquiries like, “Have you ever fallen in love with John Stamos?” Sweetin, 43, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the familial bond they shared with their co-stars. Barber further noted that “they’re like our brothers,” reinforcing their platonic relationships.

Understanding On-Screen Roles

Sweetin, who played Stamos’s character’s niece on “Full House,” described him as an “uncle” figure both on and off screen, illustrating the close-knit family dynamic they developed over the years. She conveyed that the notion of marrying their characters felt strange, as they consider each other family. Barber added that, if forced to choose based on temperament, she would again lean towards Joey Gladstone.

A Lasting Bond Beyond the Show

Sweetin, Barber, and Stamos were part of the iconic television series “Full House,” which aired from 1987 to 1995. The cast later reunited for the Netflix spinoff “Fuller House” in 2016, alongside other members such as Candace Cameron Bure, Bob Saget, and the Olsen twins—who did not participate in the revival.

Despite the passage of time, the actors have maintained a protective and supportive relationship in their personal lives. Sweetin has shared anecdotes about how their friendships have extended beyond their professional roles, noting that Saget even took the initiative to have conversations with her fiancé at the time, highlighting the depth of their connections.
