Lori Loughlin Returns to TV in ‘Fall Into Winter’: How to Watch Her New Movie
Lori Loughlin is returning to the small screen in a new made-for-TV movie for Great American Family. The Full House star – who spent two months in prison in 2020 for her role in the college admissions scandal – stars in Fall Into Winter, which premieres Jan. 28.
Lori Loughlin stars in ‘Fall Into Winter’
After Loughlin was accused of bribing college officials to get her two daughters admitted to the University of Southern California, her career took a major hit. She lost her role on Hallmark Channel’s When Call the Heart; her Garage Sale Mysteries series for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries was also canceled. Her character was also written off of Netflix’s Full House reboot Fuller House.
But now that she’s served her time, Loughlin has returned to TV. In 2021, she appeared in the When Hope Calls Christmas special on Great American Family. Now, she’s set to star in a new rom-com for the conservative Hallmark rival, Fall Into Winter.
What is ‘Fall Into Winter’ about?
In Fall Into Winter, Loughlin plays a woman named Kerry, who works in her family’s candy shop. Her life changes suddenly when her brother’s old friend Brooks (James Tupper) – who is also her high school nemesis – buys into the business. Brooks and Kerry have both built up walls because of their painful pasts. But as they work together, they may just find common ground and new beginnings.
“I think viewers will love the love story,” Loughlin said in a behind-the-scenes video (via YouTube) from the movie’s set. “It’s a feel-good film. I think it’s nice to be able to sit back and watch something with the entire family that puts a smile on your face.”
“When two people who have always been looking for something in their life find it in each other, that’s something very romantic,” Tupper said.
