The world of classic sitcom nostalgia got a jolt of modern weirdness when Jodie Sweetin revealed what she called a “horrifying” text from her former Full House co-star Dave Coulier in their cast group chat. The actress, best known for her role as Stephanie Tanner, shared the story during a recent live taping of her podcast, How Rude, Tanneritos!, and the tale quickly went viral. Coulier, who played Joey Gladstone, sent the group an AI-generated image of the Full House cast reimagined as “aged-down goths”—an image Sweetin described as both unsettling and strangely hilarious.
Sweetin’s reaction was immediate: “It was horrifying,” she admitted to the audience, explaining that each cast member was depicted looking much younger and sporting gothic flair. The image apparently included some bizarre twists, like a Kourtney Kardashian lookalike standing in for Becky Katsopolis (played by Lori Loughlin) and the late Bob Saget as Danny Tanner, but made to resemble Geddy Lee of Rush. “Me and the Olsen twins were the same age, except for Mary-Kate, who actually looked like she does today,” Sweetin added, highlighting the mix of surreal and nostalgic elements in Coulier’s AI creation.
The group chat, which includes stars from both Full House and its Netflix reboot, Fuller House, remains a lively hub for inside jokes and shared memories. Sweetin emphasized that she never wants to leave the chat, even when the jokes get a little too strange for comfort.

The Full House Cast’s Unbreakable Bond
Despite the years and the many changes in their lives, the Full House cast has managed to keep their friendship alive and kicking, thanks in part to their active group chat. Sweetin, who co-hosts How Rude, Tanneritos! with Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler), often shares behind-the-scenes stories and laughs with fans. The group chat isn’t just for sharing bizarre AI art—it’s also a space for celebrating milestones, supporting each other, and keeping the spirit of the show alive.
Sweetin recently reflected on how surreal it feels to see her former castmates, like Ashley Olsen, now raising children of their own. “I think it’s how the adults [on the Full House set] felt for us,” she said, recalling how strange it was for the older cast members to see their young co-stars grow up and become parents. Olsen, who quietly welcomed a son named Otto with her husband in 2023, is just one example of how the cast’s lives have evolved since their days on the Tanner family couch.
The group chat keeps everyone connected, whether they’re reminiscing about old times, sharing parenting advice, or just sending each other the occasional oddball meme. For Sweetin, the chat is a reminder of the unique bond the cast shares—one that’s only grown stronger over the years.
Life After Full House: New Projects and Family
While the Full House group chat remains a source of laughter and nostalgia, Jodie Sweetin is also focused on new projects and her role as a mother. She has two daughters, Zoie and Beatrix, who are now teenagers. Sweetin has been open about the fact that her kids aren’t particularly interested in her Full House legacy, but she’s proud of them for following their own passions. Zoie is an athlete, while Beatrix has inherited her mom’s love of performing.
Sweetin is also stepping into more dramatic roles, with a Lifetime movie called Dateless to Dangerous set to debut soon. The film tackles the timely topic of the radicalization of young men online, and Sweetin plays the mother of the main character. “It was a fun opportunity,” she said, “and I believe it will be an interesting thing for people to see me do something a little different—not one joke in it.” The project marks a departure from her sitcom roots and shows her versatility as an actress.
Despite her busy schedule, Sweetin remains committed to her podcast and her friendships with the Full House cast. The group chat, with its mix of humor, support, and the occasional “horrifying” AI image, is a testament to the enduring connection between the stars.
Why the Full House Group Chat Matters
The Full House group chat is more than just a place to share jokes and memories—it’s a lifeline for the cast as they navigate new chapters in their lives. Sweetin’s recent revelation about the “horrifying” text from Dave Coulier is just one example of how the group keeps things fun and unpredictable. The chat also serves as a support network, helping the cast stay grounded as they deal with the pressures of fame, parenthood, and new creative ventures.
Sweetin’s openness about the group chat and her co-stars’ antics has endeared her even more to fans, who love getting a glimpse behind the curtain of one of television’s most beloved families. The cast’s ability to laugh at themselves and each other—even when the jokes are a little out there—is a big part of what makes their bond so special.
As Sweetin continues to share stories from the group chat and her life beyond Full House, fans can look forward to more laughs, surprises, and maybe even a few more “horrifying” texts.
