Lori Loughlin says she’s effective on a deal to join the “Full Household” sequel series: “I would like nothing more.”

Lori Loughlin is optimistic the new “Full Household” will soon get a little fuller. The actress, who played Aunt Becky in the the iconic 1987-95 ABC sitcom that’s about to be revived by Netflix, said Tuesday she “expects” a deal “can be worked out within the next couple of days” for herself and perhaps other cast members who have not yet signed on, reports The News’ David Hinckley. John Stamos announced the revival Monday night on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” saying the original show will morph into a sequel called “Fuller Household,” starring original cast members Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber as grownups with families of their own. The new show is to kick off in 2016 with a one-hour special reuniting the original extended Tanner family. Loughlin noted Tuesday, but, that “they made this announcement before several of us,” including herself, Bob Saget, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Dave Coulier, “had agreed to any deals.” “I would like nothing more (than to join the cast), but I need to have a deal that’s honest. … We’ve been in negotiations and I’m confident that can be reached,” she said. “They’ve talked about reviving it for a while and I’m glad that it’s happening. I’d like to see everyone come back.”
