The “Fuller House” finale culminated in a big triple wedding with a lot of surprise blasts from the past.
Some were obvious, like the return of Danny Fuller’s ex Vicky. Others may have been a bit tougher to spot unless you were a big “Full House” fan. You may have noticed the wedding was filled with multiple exes from D.J. and Kimmy’s past, which is generally considered a bit taboo.
But not on “Fuller House.”
“I think that is a message within our show, that we can still all be friends and things might not have worked out the way that we intended them to originally, but everyone gets along and everyone supports each other,” Candace Cameron Bure told Insider of why so many exes appear at the wedding. “That in itself is such a positive message when it’s not the normal message.”
From Joey McIntyre to one of Michelle Tanner’s friends, here’s who popped up on the “Fuller House” finale.
Danny Tanner’s ex surprised him when he showed up at the wedding.
The two were engaged after a trip to Disney World. But when Vicky landed a job as an anchor in New York City, they decided to end things when the two couldn’t agree on how to continue moving their relationship together as a family.
Derek played the role of Yankee Doodle in a school play on season six of “Full House.” He sang a bit of the song during his appearance on “Fuller House.”
“I think he was the standout surprise guest. I loved that he came back for it,” Cameron Bure told Insider. “We wanted to bring back everyone who was willing to come back.”
“I thought he just did a fantastic job. He nailed it. He made me laugh out loud the most of anyone on the finale show,” she added.
Duane Moffat was Kimmy’s boyfriend on the final season of “Full House” and the two were nearly married on season eight, episode 19.
Scott Menville previously reprised Duane on season two of “Fuller House” during a high school reunion. He repeats his catchphrase, “Whatever,” during the wedding.
David Lipper briefly played D.J.’s boyfriend on season eight until he broke up with her. The two met because Viper played in Jesse’s band.
At the wedding, Viper is seen sitting and conversing with C.J., Steve’s ex.
Stephanie’s friend Harry was played by Nathan Nishiguchi on “Full House” in seasons two and three. The two had a pretend wedding when young.
Michael Sun Lee took over the role on “Fuller House” when he appeared on season one, episode nine to send Stephanie 1,000 roses.
Cameron Bure said she had a hand in getting McIntyre to return after his season two appearance.
“I sat with our showrunners and we talked about who we wanted to officiate the wedding and we wanted a fun surprise guest,” Cameron Bure told Insider. “And I said, ‘Well, if you’re going to ask me or Andrea, I know hands down, we’d love it to be Joey McIntyre.'”
So Cameron Bure simply called him up.
“I said, ‘Do you want to be a part of this? Do you want to be in our series finale?’ And he was like, ‘I would never pass up the opportunity. I’ll be there,'” said Cameron Bure. “And it was as easy as that. So we got our first choice.”
