Lori Loughlin Is Making A Comeback To TV After Prison Sentence

Full House star Lori Loughlin’s life took a different turn after she went viral for her daughter’s university admission scandal in 2020. The actress pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit fraud, and she was sentenced to two months imprisonment which she served from October to December 2020.

Following her release, Lori took a break from acting and continued to live a private life as she needed to heal from the bad publicity that tainted her personality. Her career also took a hit, and over the last four years since being incarcerated, Lori has tried to make a return with small roles, but she recently starred in a major role, marking her first since the ugly incident.

Following the admission scandal, Lori was dropped from the CBC Western drama TV series When Calls the Heart after playing the role of Abigail Stanton for six seasons in the series. Losing the gig dealt her career a fatal blow; however, Lori was committed to getting her career back on track after healing, and she was relentless about it.

Despite being an A-list actress before the admission scandal, she returned to acting with small roles in movies and series like Great American Chanels’ (GAC), When Hope Calls, and Fall into Winter and Blessings of Christmas. Her perseverance and hard work finally paid off when she landed a major role in Dick Wolf’s new series, On Call.
