Cast

• Danny Tanner (played by Bob Saget) -Danny is the father of D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle, brother-in-law to Jesse and Becky, uncle to Nicky and Alex (not by blood) and best friend of Joey Gladstone. Danny is left widowed after Pam is killed in a car accident and is left to raise his three young daughters. Knowing he can't do it alone, he has Joey and Jesse move in to help him out. Danny is a generally cheerful guy, always willing to give anybody a hug that needs it. He's also a neat freak, always wanting everything to be tidy and is very talkative. He sees himself as the "raddest" dad ever to which his daughters disagree to after embarrassing them when he declares himself that out loud. He is the host of "Wake Up, San Francisco!" along with Becky. Danny can be overprotective of his daughters and hates seeing them grow up so fast. He was at first afraid of dating after his wife died, but ended up giving in, having various relationships throughout the show. While Rebecca was on maternity leave, Danny fell in love with his temporary co-host, Vicky Larson (Gail Edwards). The two of them dated for awhile and eventually became engaged, but later broke it off. Danny was depressed for a little while after this, but soon bounced back. He is a very loving father and does whatever he can for his daughters.

• Jesse Cochran/Katsopolis (played by John Stamos) - Jesse is Danny's brother-in law, uncle to D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle, husband of Rebecca Donaldson, and father to Nicky and Alex. He moves in with Danny and his daughters after Danny's wife (Jesse's older sister) is killed in a car accident with a drunk driver. In season one, his last name was Cochran, but was changed to Katsopolis in season two onward (to reflect Stamos's Greek heritage). Jesse has a high passion for music and is a big Elvis fan. He plays guitar and sings vocals in his own band. He also plays piano, keyboards, drums and percusions. Jesse is also highly obsessed with his hair, always making sure that's perfectly styled and hates it whenever someone messes it up ("No, not the hair!"). After moving in with the Tanners, Jesse grows close to each of his nieces, whom he really only saw during Christmas and birthdays, especially Michelle. Jesse is always there for his family and gives them advice whenever they are in trouble. In Season 2, he meets and falls in love with Rebecca Donaldson, Danny's co-host on "Wake Up, San Francisco!" The two of them ended up getting married in Season 4 and are prepared to move to Becky's apartment, but Jesse ends up secretly crying after he says goodbye to Michelle, showing that he really isn't ready to leave the house just yet, but does. Becky, seeing how much Jesse misses everyone, surprises Jesse by telling him that Danny agreed to letting them live in the attic. Later on in the series, Jesse and Becky welcome their twin sons on the same day that Michelle turns five.
