Who portrayed Danny Tanner's girlfriend Vicky Larson?

The story behind the answer

Danny Tanner's girlfriend Vicky Larson was portrayed by Gail Edwards.

Vicky enters Full House during season five, when she temporarily fills in for Becky Donaldson on Wake Up, San Francisco while Becky is away on maternity leave. Her professional connection with Danny gradually becomes a romantic one, and she remains an important recurring character through seasons five, six, and part of seven.

Vicky is written as career-focused and independent. When Becky returns to the morning show, Vicky receives a television news offer in Chicago, turning her relationship with Danny into a long-distance romance. Their differing career circumstances eventually put pressure on the relationship.

Viewers sometimes confuse Gail Edwards with Lori Loughlin, who played Becky, or with the actresses portraying the Tanner family's younger characters. Vicky's relationship with Danny also differs from Danny's earlier romances: she briefly becomes his fiancée but never becomes his wife.
