Former Fuller House costars Candace Cameron Bure and Lori Loughlin's friendship is still going strong.

"Yes, I've talked to Lori many times [since her release from prison]," Cameron Bure, 45, said on Daily Blast Live Tuesday.

The Hallmark star added, "And she's doing well."

Loughlin, 56, spent two months in prison last year for her involvement in the college admissions scandal. Following her involvement, Loughlin exited the final season of Fuller House.

The actress, known for her role as Aunt Becky, was released from the federal correctional facility in Dublin, California, in December and has kept a low profile since.

Cameron Bure previously talked about Loughlin in November in celebration of the one-year anniversary of wrapping production on the series finale of Fuller House.

Among her Instagram throwbacks to mark the occasion, Cameron Bure showed fans a note seemingly written by Loughlin.

"Dearest Candace, Congratulations on a great run! Have a fabulous last week. I love you and miss you," read the note.

Cameron Bure later confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that the note was from Loughlin and that "she sent me flowers and I believe a few other people some flowers."

"It was so nice to feel and have her presence there at the show. ... Yeah, it was really special," she said.

  • Timeshares are in: Travel + Leisure tops Q1 earnings estimates

    Younger families are increasingly turning to timeshares, a service offered by Travel + Leisure Co. (TNL), which recently topped earnings estimates for the first quarter. Travel + Leisure CEO Mike Brown joins Yahoo Finance to discuss the company's niche in the vacation ownership market and broader travel trends.  Travel + Leisure's "very strong Q1" was driven by consumer demand to purchase timeshares, Brown says. "Leisure travel doesn't seem to be slowing from our perspective," he adds, pointing to the Sun Belt, Florida theme parks, and East Coast beaches as particularly popular destinations.  The post-pandemic transformation of work has boosted the company's length of stay, the CEO explains, with consumers getting away from the office earlier and working remotely toward the end of the week. Accommodations like timeshares that offer more space "are at the front end" of what consumers desire for future vacations, Brown adds.  Though Airbnb and VRBO also offer rentals with more space, Brown says Travel + Leisure's commitment to brand differentiates the company from vacation rental businesses. Highlighting the Margaritaville and Wyndham collections, Brown says consumers like the consistency a brand provides. "That's what we offer: brand and great value in vacation ownership," the CEO tells Yahoo Finance.  For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode.
