Lori Loughlin to play cop on Dick Wolf series in first recurring role since college admissions scandal

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for the resilience of individuals, I must say, Lori Loughlin is truly an inspiration. After serving her time in prison following the college admissions scandal, she has not only bounced back but has also taken on a new role in On Call. This is a testament to her indomitable spirit and her ability to rise above adversity.

In the series “On Call,” Lori Loughlin is set to portray a police lieutenant – this being her initial recurring acting gig following the prison sentence she received due to her involvement in the 2019 college admissions scam.

60-year-old Loughlin, who spent nearly two months behind bars due to her part in a scandal that unfolded towards the end of 2020, has been cast as Lieutenant Bishop in Dick Wolf’s TV series. This show is set to debut on Amazon Prime Video in January.

In the upcoming series, the actress from Full House, known for her role as Aunt Becky (Rebecca Katsopolis), will be joined by Eriq La Salle, Troian Bellisario, and Brandon Larracuente.

The show is Wolf Entertainment’s initial foray into scripted streaming productions, a company known for creating the Law & Order, Chicago, and FBI television series franchises.

Elliot Wolf, one of the creators of the show, shared with Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday that Loughlin was genuinely delightful to collaborate with during our series production.

After taking on the role, she showed her enthusiasm right away, and was eager to delve into the research needed for the part, as well as to fully embody the character. This is according to Wolf’s statement.

Over five years have passed since Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli, a well-known fashion designer, were indicted in April 2019.

The pair faced accusations of paying a college admissions facilitator, Rick Singer, half a million dollars, to help USC falsely recruit their daughters, Isabella Rose (age 26) and Olivia Jade (age 25), onto the rowing team, even though they had no prior experience in the sport.

In May of 2020, the pair pleaded guilty in connection with conspiracy charges in the case.

As an overjoyed admirer putting words to my feelings, I can’t help but share the news: Loughlin accepted a two-month jail term, coupled with a $150,000 fine and 150 hours of community service after her guilty plea. The countdown began in October 2020 when she stepped into a federal prison in Dublin, California, and was granted freedom that December.

Lori Giannulli was given a five-month jail term with a fine of $250,000 and required 250 hours of community service. He started serving this prison term in November 2020 and moved to house arrest in April 2021, which was around a month before his sentence ended.

In terms of her career, Loughlin’s legal issues prevented her from participating in Fuller House’s fifth season. Her reappearance on television happened in 2021, as she starred in a two-part Christmas special for the GAC network’s When Hope Calls.

In the sixth episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” during its 12th season, which aired on March 10, the storyline centered around the actress, mimicking a real-life legal issue she had with Larry David.

In a dramatized portrayal, she asked David for assistance in regaining membership at an elite golf club, as she had been expelled due to a controversy.

Jeff Schaffer, the show’s executive producer, expressed at the time of airing his hope that Loughlin’s cameo appearance would serve as a stepping stone towards her potential return to the limelight.

Schaffer expressed that it’s an effective method for moving past the past. He wishes it aids her professional growth. She was terrific and deserving of employment. She was hilarious and delightful to collaborate with. It would be beneficial if people realize, “Wow, she’s really funny. She shines in this role.” In summary, he hopes she secures more work because she truly deserves it.

In April, Loughlin shared with First for Women magazine that the 1997 song “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba served as a source of inspiration for her when facing challenges.

In every day, various challenges come our way, as Loughlin put it. However, much like the lyrics of a popular tune suggest, “I may fall flat on my face, but I’ll get up and fight again.” Life isn’t meant to be effortless sailing; we all stumble occasionally, yet what truly matters is keeping going forward.

Loughlin shared with the outlet that she strives to be understanding and prefers not to dwell on past issues.

In everyone’s life, challenges arise, according to Loughlin. Not only do we experience situations where we need to seek forgiveness, but granting forgiveness is equally important in order to ask for it effectively.

Loughlin emphasized that it’s not worth holding onto negativity for too long, as it’s crucial for one’s well-being to release these burdens.
