Jodie Sweetin says Dave Coulier sent 'horrifying' 'Full House' AI image to costars: 'I didn't get it'
Dave Coulier is keeping that Uncle Joey spirit alive and well in the Full House cast group chat. Jodie Sweetin revealed that Coulier likes to liven things up via group text much like his character livened things up in the Tanner household during the beloved sitcom's run in the '90s. Most recently, the comedian shared an AI-generated photo of the cast as "goths," which Sweetin told PEOPLE was "horrifying" at first. "Like, aged-down goths. And for some reason, there was a Kourtney Kardashian lookalike in there who was supposed to be Becky," she added of the character played by Lori Loughlin. 'But me and the Olsen twins were the same age, except for Mary-Kate, who actually looked like she does today." Sweetin explained that the late Bob Saget, who played beloved patriarch Danny Tanner, was also in the image depicted as Geddy Lee, the lead singer of Rush. "It was just a very, very strange thing. Dave made a joke. I didn't get it," Sweetin said, adding that she eventually understood. "I was like, 'Oh, sorry actually, the joke was great.'" The reveal that the Full House cast keeps an active group chat alive came right before several cast members reunited for iHeartRadio's How Rude, Tanneritos! Wedding Special live event. Sweetin and her podcast cohost and castmate Andrea Barber hosted the Sunday event that saw former costars Loughlin, John Stamos, Scott Weinger, and Marla Sokoloff reflect on their time on the show. The event marked one of the handful of times the show's cast members have reunited since Saget died in 2022 from head trauma after accidentally hitting his head in a Grande Lakes, Fla., hotel room. Coulier was among the stars missing from the reunion, as were Sweetin's TV sisters, Candace Cameron Bure, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. While Coulier couldn't make the live event, he has made an appearance on the How Rude, Tanneritos! podcast before. In April, he opened up to Sweetin and Barber about learning that he'd beaten stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma and that his son, Luc, and daughter-in-law, Alex, had welcomed their first child together on the very same day. "I got the good news the day the baby was born," Coulier told his former castmates. "So I heard the news and I was so excited, and then Luc called us and he said, 'Hey, the baby just was born.' And so, I mean, it was an amazing day." Coulier noted that Luc and Alex welcomed a "healthy, great little baby" named Chance Lee. "He's 7 pounds, 6 ounces, and we will see him, I think, in 12 days," he added. "Because we're in Michigan and they're out in Sacramento."The comedian also recalled feeling like he'd accidentally "killed the moment" after delivering a real stinker of a joke in the family group chat following the announcement of Chance's birth. "I said to my son — everybody was teary-eyed and everything and [was] texting when the baby was born — and I said, 'I cannot wait to see that kid's expression on his face after he pulls my finger for the first time,'" Coulier recalled. "And there was just like, no one responded. It's like, 'Okay. I killed the moment.'" Thankfully, he explained that Luc messaged him back a few minutes later, telling him, "I just got that."

'Full House' star Dave Coulier confirms he's cancer-free
Dave Coulier is cancer-free. "I'd like to give a heartfelt thank you to family, friends and fans for their continued prayers, love and support throughout my emotional roller coaster ride through cancer," the "Full House star said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital on Tuesday, six months after he was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. "I'd like to add that throughout my cancer journey, I've become very aware of the ingredients, chemicals and materials that are in our foods, clothing and products that are available to consumers," he continued. Coluier said he had since established a startup company called AWEAR "that is currently designing an entire line of all natural and sustainable clothing, foods and personal hygiene products to begin distribution some time in 2025." He added, "I've also been appointed to be an ambassador for the V Foundation for cancer research and Hockey Fights Cancer. I will continue to encourage others to check in with doctors to get early screenings like breast exams, colonoscopies and prostate exams." Coulier's "Full House" co-star Candace Cameron Bure also took to social media to celebrate the news, writing, "DAVE IS CANCER FREE!!!! Join me in celebrating this AMAZING news — let's shower him with all the love in the world!" along with three red heart emojis. Shortly after completing his final round of chemotherapy, Coulier - who was diagnosed in October - was hospitalized with a virus that doctors feared could have taken his life if not caught in time. "I started to get pretty sick," the "Full House" alum, 65, told Parade in a new interview. "I didn't know that I had caught a virus. I was in bed for about 10 days just trying to figure out, 'Do I have a cold? Am I just feeling the ramifications of this cumulative effect of the chemo? What is going on?'" "There's a thing called [ground-glass opacity (GGO)]. On a scan, in your lungs it looks like particles of glass," Coulier, who starred as Joey Gladstone in the beloved TV series in the 1980s and 1990s, explained. That, plus his cold symptoms, were "wreaking havoc in my system," he said. Coulier said his doctors told him that if had not come in for a check-up when he did, "We might not have been able to turn this around." Coulier also shared that halfway through his treatment, his doctors told him that they didn't see any more cancer cells, explaining, "They carpet-bombed me for three more treatments after that, and they're not expecting to see anything [further]." Despite the positive news, his wife Melissa shared that the couple still had conversations about what would happen if the treatment didn't work. "After [the fifth round of] chemo, he was like, 'I don't know if I could do this again,'" Melissa said. "He was like, 'I'm prepared either way. If I die, I die. And if I can stay here, great. I want to.' Those conversations were obviously so tough." In November, Coulier announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The actor and comedian said he was diagnosed in October after experiencing an upper respiratory infection caused by major swelling in his lymph nodes. "Three days later, my doctors called me back, and they said, 'We wish we had better news for you, but you have non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and it's called B cell, and it's very aggressive,'" he told People magazine. "I went from, 'I got a little bit of a head cold' to 'I have cancer,' and it was pretty overwhelming," he added. "This has been a really fast roller-coaster ride of a journey." According to the American Cancer Society, B-cell lymphoma is a type of cancer that develops in B-lymphocytes. B-cell lymphomas account for the vast majority of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Every year, more than 80,000 Americans are diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. "The first thing I said to them was, 'Wait a minute — cancer?'" Coulier later shared on the "Today" show. "(I was) feeling like I got punched in the stomach, because it never happens to you. You always hear about it happening to someone else." Coulier completed his sixth round of chemotherapy last month. "I was in such a daze when I walked out of the hospital, my wife looked at me [when] we got in the car, and she goes, 'We forgot to ring the bell,'" Coulier told Parade. Though to be expected, the treatment took an emotional and physical toll on the beloved actor. "The symptoms were getting worse and worse with each treatment," Coulier said. "So neuropathy, which I hadn't experienced before, started to increase. Nausea started to increase. Dizziness started to increase. They call it chemo brain, where you're a bit foggy — that started to increase. My days of being able to get up and walk around and be active started to decrease." "Some days, I just didn't want to do anything," Coulier added. "Though I wanted to move around and go out and, you know, work around the house, I just couldn't. There was so much cancer-related fatigue that got progressively worse and worse and worse, and I thought, 'Wow, this is how it's going to go.'" Despite the setbacks, Coulier and Melissa remain positive and even participate in silly morning rituals that helped boost his confidence. "He has some really tough days, and as the chemo has been accumulating it gets a little tougher and more difficult," Melissa said during an interview with Detroit's ABC-WXYZ in January. "He has such a positive attitude, and you need that in order to really fight it," she continued. "Every morning, if he's feeling up for it, we try to put on a song and do a little dance party with the dogs, because when you do feel good, you have to celebrate that, too." "He has had a lot of loss in his life when it comes to having to deal with cancer. He lost his mother, his sister, his niece. His other sister had it," she added. "I think for him, he takes every stride and really pulls strength from seeing the women that were so close in his life to powering through it, and he just wants to honor them."

On Monday, he delivered a positive update in a Parade article, saying his doctors had 'carpet-bombed me for three more treatments" after seeing improvement in a PET scan that was done halfway through chemo. "[T]hey're not expecting to see anything [further].' After the fifth round of chemo, Melissa Coulier told Parade, 'He was like, 'I'm prepared either way. If I die, I die.

Stamos spoke out Monday via Instagram, saying in a video that he was at Disney World when he learned Sunday night that his "dear friend Dave has beaten cancer."

Meanwhile, Coulier didn't forget Bob Saget, who died in 2022. He told Parade that he knows his old friend and co-star would have been there for him if he could have. 'I met Bob when I was 18 years old," he said. "And by the way, yes, he comes to me in my dreams, and he always does something silly and foolish and makes me laugh. He would have called me every day." In fact, he said, it would have been more than that. 'He would have driven me crazy," Coulier said. "It was a lovable crazy that he had. I think about him often.'

Dave Coulier says he meets with late friend Bob Saget in his dreams often
After revealing he is cancer free, Dave Coulier is opening up about his steadfast connection to his longtime friend, the late Bob Saget. While talking with Parade in March, Coulier said despite Saget's death in January 2022, Saget remains a part of his life. 'I miss Bob so much. I truly had a brother (in him). I met Bob when I was 18 years old,' Coulier explained, noting that he often meets Saget in his dreams. 'And by the way, yes, he comes to me in my dreams, and he always does something silly and foolish and makes me laugh,' Coulier continued. Saget and Coulier first met while Coulier was doing standup in Detroit, according to Parade. Saget gave Coulier his number before telling Coulier to contact him when he made it to Los Angeles. Coulier crashed on Saget's couch for weeks before they began working together on 'Full House.' Over the last five months, Coulier has been battling stage 3 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. On March 31, during his conversation with Parade, Coulier announced that after six rounds of chemotherapy, which he finished in February, he is now cancer free. Coulier said if Saget were still here, he knows the comedian would have checked on him daily. 'He would have called me every day: 'How are you doing? What's the prognosis, Dave? Tell me what's going on.' He would have driven me crazy,' he said. 'It was a lovable crazy that he had. I think about him often,' Coulier continued. 'I'll be having a moment of clarity, and I'll think, 'Oh, call Bob,' and then I realize I can't. And then I realize I can't call anybody and tell them this thought that I have right now because Bob is the only one who would think so outrageously to be able to respond to it.' Coulier and Saget famously worked together for years as the stars of 'Full House' and again later of Netflix's spin-off 'Fuller House.'
