Everything we threw at her, she was game to do.

Hilariously, the episode contained clear echoes of Loughlin’s real-life scandal.
“Oh yeah, well, I have Epstein-Barr,” Loughlin explains.

Its great to be able to laugh at yourself.
Its a great way to put the past behind you, Schaffer said.
I hope it helps her career.
She was great, and she should work.
She was really funny and wonderful to work with.
People should see, Oh, shes really funny.
Shes great in this stuff.
So yeah, I hope she does get to work because she deserves to.
