In a few hours, the final episodes of Netflix’s ‘Full House’ reboot, ‘Fuller House’ will be available to watch on the streaming platform, and while the show did not reach the heights of its predecessor, it will certainly be hard to bid goodbye to the Tanner household once again.
16, we met the grown-up DJ Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure), who is now DJ Tanner-Fuller, Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin), and Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber). Like Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) was a widower in ‘Full House’ when we first met him, DJ is also a widow, her husband having passed away just before the events of the first season of ‘Fuller House’.
DJ had three kids by that point — Jackson (Michael Campion), Max (Elias Harger), and Tommy Jr (twins Dashiell and Fox Messitt), and much like how we fell in love with the Tanner kids then, we fell in love with the Tanner-Fuller kids too.
MEA Worldwide (MEAWW) spoke to Michael Campion on what fans can expect in the farewell episodes and from his character Jackson. Campion said fans can certainly “expect to cry” over the final episodes. He said, “There is a lot of emotion between all the characters, and just this big final wrap up that all the fans are really going to enjoy.” He also says that Jackson has “a lot of interesting romantic stuff” in the final episodes, adding that many character arcs come to their end to give the series a “fantastic conclusion.”
Campion was only 12 when he first joined the cast for ‘Fuller House’, as such, he grew up along with his character, Jackson. He said, “[Jackson] is definitely a part of me and kind of has a similar personality to me in general — he’s sort of like a heightened sitcom version.”
Campion says he has learned a lot from playing Jackson, not including acting lessons, admitting, “It’s really funny, a lot of the stuff Jackson went through, I also went through so I was able to apply those principles he learned in the show to my real-life situations.”
Campion tells us that he was excited to win the role of Jackson on ‘Fuller House’ as he loved the show’s predecessor. Campion would watch ‘Full House’ along with other classics such as ‘Friends’ and ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ with his mom on Nick at Night. When Campion was cast, his life changed in 24 hours as he moved to Los Angeles to become a part of the Tanner-Fuller household.
e would be great.”
