Almost four years after Fuller House ended, actress Candace Cameron Bure has revealed that she had a near-death experience on the set of Fuller House due to a safety mishap. Though it could have ended tragically, fortunately for everyone involved, the only thing that died that day was the stunt guy’s career.
Candace Cameron Fuller House Incident
During a recent appearance on a podcast show, Candace Cameron Bure opened up about her near-death experience on the set of Full House’s spin-off sequel series.
Apparently, her character, D.J. Tanner, was supposed to do an American Ninja Warrior-like course that stretched across the living room and involved a zipline. However, the zipline wasn’t properly set up; it had no stop sign at the end of it, and when the actress landed off the zipline, the whole structure fell right next to her head within an inch.
Changed The Episode
Considering that the structure was metal and very heavy, the outcome could have been fatal if Candace Cameron Bure had shifted her weight in the wrong direction by just a tiny bit.
Fortunately, she didn’t, and while the only victim of the mishap was the floor—which now had a big dent in it—the stunt guy did end up getting fired.
Furthermore, the director demanded a rebuild of the whole set, refusing to even consider another take of the stunt that nearly robbed us of Candace Cameron Bure.
Fuller House As A Full House Revival
Fuller House was Netflix’s revival of Full House; it ran for five seasons and focused on Tanner’s kids’ lives as adults.
Candace Cameron Bure was the true lead of the show. Despite the lighthearted nature of the show that showcased the day-to-day challenges D.J. Tanner had to address while raising a family, some Fuller House episodes were more creative than others.
This includes the episode in which Candace Cameron Bure nearly died.
Series Ended With A Marriage
The show ended with Candace Cameron Bure’ D.J., Stephanie, and Kimmi walking down the aisle to marry their respective partners, with the event also doubling as a reunion with many members of the Tanner clan attending the weddings.
It’s worth noting that the show wasn’t really embraced by the fans of Full House, at least initially. The first season had mostly negative reviews, but the situation improved in subsequent seasons, underscoring the difficulties of making an adequate sequel or a reboot of previously established and cherished narratives.
Not Returning After Death Of Bob Saget?
Despite the criticism of the overall show, some cast members have expressed their interest in returning to the show for a revival. This would be a bit difficult considering Bob Saget’s death, which would mean continuing the show without one of its major stars.
Can anyone imagine ‘Allo ‘Allo! without Gordon Irving Kaye? Our point exactly. John Stamos, who starred in the original Full House and executive produced Fuller House, has already closed his doors to the possibility of revival.
Candace Cameron Bure still hasn’t commented on the possibility of starring in a revival.
