Fuller Housemay be a little less full next season without Aunt Becky.
Candace Cameron Bure, 43, revealed that she hasn’t exactly been clued in as to the fate ofLori Loughlin’s character on the Netflix series amid the actress’ ongoing alleged involvement in thecollege admissions scandal.
“It hasn’t been discussed,” Cameron Bure toldEntertainment Tonight. “I have absolutely no answer for it, and Netflix has not even spoken about it, so I have no answer.”
The series waspicked up for a fifth and final seasonin January and started filming this weekend, three months after Loughlin, 54, wasarrested for allegedly payingto have her daughters admitted to college as crew recruits — despite the fact that they do not participate in the sport.

“And where there’s a lot of heart, there’s a lot of love,” Cameron Bure added. “And a loving family sticks together no matter what.”

“[She] isn’t working, and her whole life focus has changed drastically,” the source said. “It consists of waiting around for the next court date and planning her legal defense.”
Loughlin and husbandMossimo Giannulli, 55, were charged in in the scandal in March after they allegedly paid $500,000 to have their daughters recruited to the University of Southern California as crew recruits.
Both face charges of mail fraud and money laundering conspiracy. If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison on each charge.

The couplepleaded not guiltyin April and previouslyturned down a plea dealbecause it included jail time.
“[They] are mounting a vigorous defense against the charges,” a source toldPEOPLEin May. “Lori in particular has become extremely well-versed in the case. She’s an active participant in her own defense, feels like she’s got a valid defense, and that when all the evidence comes out, she won’t be found guilty.”
