Yes, believe it or not, the Full House actor will be reprising her role in When Calls the Heart following her involvement in the college admissions scandal and jail time.
If you'll remember, the actor and her husband, designer Mossimo Giannulli, were both arrested in March 2019 for bribing their daughters' way into USC. Roughly a year later, they pleaded guilty to paying half a million dollars to secure admission to Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose as rowing recruits — even though neither had ever played the sport.
Lori was sentenced to two months in jail, a $150,000 fine, and 150 hours of community service. She began her sentence in October and served nearly two months before being released in December 2020.
Lori's role as Abigail Stanton in the GAC Family series — a spinoff of When Hope Calls — was written out in 2019 after six seasons, following her arrest. Now, she'll be back for a two-part special called When Hope Calls: A Country Christmas, premiering Dec. 18.
