‘They’re Horrified’: Marla Sokoloff Reveals How Her Kids React To Her Full House Character Gia

As a lifestyle expert with a deep appreciation for pop culture and its influence on generations, I find Marla Sokoloff‘s journey from playing Gia on Full House to raising her own children who are now discovering her role fascinating. It’s a testament to the timeless nature of the show and the impact it continues to have on families today.


Marla Sokoloff recently chatted on Dave Coulier’s podcast, Full House Rewind, about how her kids reacted to her character Gia from Full House. At 43 years old, she shared that her daughters – Harper Bea (age 2), Elliotte Anne (12), and Olive Mae (8) – first saw the spin-off series Fuller House. Sokoloff advised them to watch the original Full House episodes for a better understanding of her role.

During the podcast discussion, Coulier (the actor who played Joey Gladstone on Full House) brought up the topic of Sokoloff’s children’s reactions to her portrayal of Gia, a character with a negative influence on Stephanie Tanner. In response, Sokoloff shared that her daughters were quite surprised by scenes in which her character was depicted smoking.

In reaction, her children exclaimed “Mom!” with surprise and disapproval, then asked if she really smoked. Later, recalling their response, Sokoloff chuckled and explained that such situations help her educate her kids on not imitating her character, especially during smoking scenes, which they found particularly distressing.

In 2022, Dave Coulier expressed excitement about potentially returning to his famous character from Full House during an appearance on The Tamron Hall Show. He shared that he’d jump at the chance to be part of a modern take on the classic sitcom, should such an opportunity present itself. When asked about a potential reboot, Coulier showed great enthusiasm, indicating his readiness to resume his past role.

In a playful manner, the podcast host jokingly proposed reviving “Full House,” which brought a touch of humor to the conversation. Coulier showed enthusiasm and genuine interest in the idea.

Coulier shared that he often talks with his old co-stars about wanting to work together again. He emphasized how much they value the show and the significant impact it’s had on its audience. Coulier’s remarks showed a clear sense of nostalgia and affection for Full House, which keeps them excited about potential future collaborations.
