Laura and Judy`s relationship was never sisterly, more like strangers


Richie and Judy act more like siblings than Judy and Laura. They barely had sister to sister relationship. I've never seen them have a heart to heart talk or even hug. They've never had a girl talk or girls night out. They we like strangers in a house.

Laura and Judy had more interaction in season 1 when Richie was an infant. They did have a brief talk in season 2 but yes they never had a real heart to heart. It's such a shame they didn't develop Judy. She did have some protential.

They honestly should have made July Rachel's kid to start out with...

Once Steve became a main character, he basically replaced Judy as the one Laura would always interact with.
I remember when the first season first aired and loved it when Laura and Judy would work together. Laura was the brains and judy was the sassy lacky.

It is too bad Judy never really developed and probably would have been interesting to see how she acted in her teen years.

After season 1, Judy is usually in the background with Richie. She hardly ever interacts with anyone else.

I love Judy and Laura in the beginning they were DJ and Stephanie of Full House, but in the 3rd season they fell apart and Judy became close with Richie. I thought Judy and Richie closeness was cute but it really should have been Laura and Judy.

Laura and Judy are only 3 years apart in real life, seems like they would've been closer than Judy and Ritchie, they were 7 years apart in real life. I have cousins that much older than me. I'm Ritchie's age, 30 and cousins of mine 7 years older than me never hung with me like Ritchie and Judy. My brother is 8 years older than me, only a year older than Judy, and we never hung out like that. He had his own friends and I had mine. of course I'd try to hang around him and his friends.

Laura's main role was to be bothered by Steve Urkel.
