Jodie Sweetin is opening up about how the *Full House* cast stays connected, revealing emotional details about the beloved TV family’s group chat following the death of Bob Saget. The actress, who grew up onscreen as Stephanie Tanner, recently reflected on how the close-knit bond among the sitcom's stars has evolved after losing their legendary patriarch. Saget tragically passed away in January 2022 at the age of 65. For eight seasons on the original ABC hit and later five seasons on the Netflix revival series *Fuller House*, the stand-up comedian portrayed beloved father figure Danny Tanner. Off-screen, he served as a central glue holding the cast together for over three decades.
Is the Full House Cast Still Close?

According to recent comments from Sweetin, the former co-stars remain deeply tied to one another, but the tone of their ongoing group communication has naturally shifted since Saget's unexpected passing. Reports indicate that the tight ensemble continues to use their shared messaging thread to check in, offer support, and maintain the bond they built during childhood and adult production years. The cast members have frequently spoken in the past about treating each other like a real-life household. However, losing the man who anchored their onscreen family left a noticeable void in their routine interactions. Sweetin noted that while the group chat remains active, the loss of Saget is a constant, bittersweet presence whenever they gather or text.

When Did Bob Saget Pass Away?

The entertainment world was shocked when Saget died suddenly in January 2022 at 65 years old. In the aftermath of his death, the entire *Full House* family issued joint statements and individual tributes highlighting his generosity, humor, and relentless warmth toward his TV daughters and colleagues. Sweetin’s latest update reinforces just how enduring those television relationships truly are. Decades after the original show wrapped, the surviving cast members rely on their shared chat to navigate life changes and honor the memory of the television icon who raised them on camera. Through all the heartaches and milestones, the former sitcom stars continue to prove that their television family tree is just as real off the set. Though the digital conversations look a little different now, the foundation built over decades of working together remains firmly intact.
