In December 2017, Fuller House gave me a gift. They reunited Danny Tanner with Vicky Larson.
Their tragic breakup during Full House's seventh season was the first time I felt television-induced pain. I believed that Fuller House was finally remedying this huge romantic upset.
Ever since that fateful Season 3 finale, I've been holding out hope that Danny and Vicky would finally be endgame.
When Vicky didn't show up again in Season 4, I was pretty upset. However, I remained hopeful that they would bring her back again.
The second half of Fuller House's final season just dropped, and I thought my dreams were coming true when...
^ Literally me.
...Vicky showed up in the series finale!
SHE CAME BACK! IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING! THE MOMENT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE 1993! THEIR FACES ARE TOUCHING!
But then...
...friends?! Friends?! Gail Edwards' two Fuller House appearances were her first time acting onscreen since 1994, and they're just going to leave it like that?! THE AUDACITY.
To add to the blow, an earlier new episode titled "The Nearlywed Game" was a direct homage TO THE EPISODE where Danny and Vicky broke up.
It was such a tease hearing so many references to "The Perfect Couple," Vicky's last episode, with zero mention of the breakup. You got me, Fuller House, writers. You got me good.
It's going to take a long time to get over it, but I'm still grateful to Gail for coming back to the show again.
Time to start writing fanfic!
