It’s wonderful that 40 years after initially assembly on Full Home — and a few even persevering with to look on the 2025 TV schedule — the forged members stay so shut. That is very true given the actors’ broad age vary and differing comedic sensibilities. Nevertheless, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber acquired actual a few “bizarre query” they get from followers about simply how shut they had been to their co-stars, and it seems like individuals are complicated the Tanners with The Brady Bunch.
Full Home Vets Reveal A Query They Get About John Stamos
John Stamos could have performed heartthrob Jesse Katsopolis on Full Home (streaming with a Max subscription) and the spinoff Fuller Home (streaming with a Netflix subscription), however to the younger women on the present, he was merely Uncle Jesse. That familial dynamic, nevertheless, hasn’t saved minds from questioning, and Andrea Barber (aka Kimmy Gibler) addressed that on the How Impolite, Tannerinos! podcast, saying:
I believe it is like when folks ask us in media interviews, they’re like, did you ever have a crush on John Stamos? No, that may be a gross query. They’re like our older brothers, and we don’t consider them that manner.
It’s not even the household factor that’s the most annoying about this query, however the truth that Jodie Sweetin was 5 years previous when Full Home began (13 by the finale). Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, in the meantime, had been 6 months previous — 8 years previous when it ended.
Even Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber, who had been barely older at 11, had been most likely just a little younger to be growing a crush on somebody greater than 10 years older than them (a minimum of within the earlier seasons). Jodie Sweetin jumped in, including to what her co-host stated:
Not even older brothers. They’re like uncles.
Technically Jesse wasn’t an uncle to Kimmy, however the dynamic was nonetheless there, and Andrea Barber shut down any hypothesis on the contrary, saying:
There’s nothing remotely enticing about this. They’re simply our buddies. And yeah, that is type of a bizarre query.
The factor is, not all TV casts have been recognized to maintain issues 100% platonic. Yeah, I’m speaking about you, Brady children.
Barry Williams Confirmed All The Brady Bunch Youngsters “Hooked Up”
They might have performed step-siblings on The Brady Bunch from 1969 to 1974, however these fraternal relationships didn’t keep chaste off the display screen. In celebrating the sitcom’s fifty fifth anniversary final yr, Barry Williams informed US Weekly:
All of us attached with one another sooner or later. Not essentially whereas we had been filming. I dated Maureen [McCormick], and Chris [Knight] dated Eve [Plum] and Michael [Lookinland] and Susan [Olsen] had just a little mock wedding ceremony at one level. So, sure, all of us attached.
Feels like there was lots happening behind the scenes of The Brady Bunch and within the years that adopted. It’s humorous that the love connections occurred between the actors who performed the 2 oldest stepsiblings (Greg and Marsha), the center kids (Peter and Jan) and the youngest two (annoying TV siblings Bobby and Cindy).
A lot to Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber’s chagrin, I’m positive, that’s not the place the romantic pursuits stopped. Regardless of these Brady Bunch rumors driving Susan Olsen nuts, Barry Williams stated he did have a crush — if not an affair — along with his TV mother Florence Henderson. Within the actor’s phrases:
I had a teenage crush on her, for positive, And she or he’s acquired a really full of life character and nice humorousness, however I knew that I needed to have music in my profession [in] performing, and so I talked to her lots about that. I had discovered this singer coming into the Copacabana close to Beverly Hills. I can’t consider precisely the place it was, however I invited her to go collectively as a date, and he or she stated, ‘OK,’ so I used to be thrilled. And now for me, it was a date.
Was there a kiss on the finish of that date?
I did go in for just a little kiss and and, and he or she was good sufficient to return it. So it was a spotlight. Good little peck, sure.
No less than within the case of The Brady Bunch, the entire hookups gave the impression to be age acceptable (I’m giving Florence Henderson the good thing about the doubt that the Barry Williams affair was one-sided), so it someway feels much less skeezy than any Full Home crushes might need. If you wish to see what sort of chemistry the Brady blended household had happening, you’ll be able to watch previous episodes along with your Paramount+ subscription.
