John Stamos publicly showed his support for his former Full House costar Dave Coulier after he revealed his stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis. Stamos took to Instagram to share photos of the two of them over the years, expressing his love and support for Coulier during this difficult time. Coulier was diagnosed with the aggressive cancer in October, following an upper respiratory infection that caused severe swelling in his lymph node. Despite the overwhelming news, Coulier remains hopeful as the cancer has not spread to his bone marrow, giving him a 90 percent chance of a cure.
Upon receiving his diagnosis, Coulier shared the news with his former Full House cast members to ensure they heard it directly from him. The response from his costars was overwhelming, with many offering their support and asking how they could help. Coulier shared that the love and support from his Full House family has been truly remarkable, as they have been there for each other throughout the years. Stamos even pledged to be by Coulier’s side as he undergoes chemotherapy treatment, offering to sit by him, play music, or simply talk as they navigate this journey together.
Full House, which originally aired from 1987 to 1995, followed the story of Danny Tanner as he raised his three daughters with the help of his brother-in-law Jesse and best friend Joey. The show featured a cast including Bob Saget, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodi Sweetin, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, and of course, John Stamos and Dave Coulier. The beloved show was later revived by Netflix as Fuller House in 2016, reuniting many of the original cast members for a five-season run.
Tragically, the Full House family experienced a loss in 2022 when Bob Saget passed away at age 65. The Orange County, Florida medical examiner confirmed that Saget’s death was the result of accidental blunt head trauma from a fall in his Orlando hotel room. Following Saget’s passing, the Full House cast released a joint statement expressing their love and grief, highlighting the strong bond they shared as a cast and the deep connection they had with Saget. They described him as a brother, father, and friend to all of them, emphasizing their deep love and affection for their late costar.
Throughout the years, the Full House cast has remained close-knit, forming a real family bond in addition to their on-screen relationships. The support and love they have shown for each other during challenging times, such as Coulier’s cancer diagnosis and Saget’s passing, reflect the deep connection they developed while working together on the beloved series. As they continue to navigate life’s ups and downs, the Full House family remains united in their shared experiences and enduring friendships, providing comfort and strength to one another during difficult times.
