CANDACE CAMERON BURE

The Full House alum, 45, returns as crime buff Aurora Teagarden in the 17th installment of Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ hit franchise, Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Honeymoon, Honey murder (Aug. 22). While on a getaway, newlyweds Aurora and Nick (Niall Matter) discover something that alters their plans: a murdered body.

What keeps you coming back to the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, which you’ve been making since 2015? They’re fun. Aurora can be tough. She’s smart and intelligent. I love the stunt work and the action parts. And the character development keeps it feeling fresh for me because it keeps evolving.

What have you learned from playing Aurora? She’s a very determined person. I am too, but she’s a little more outward. She’s unafraid of busting into a room or chasing after the bad guy. I love that about her, so it’s encouraged me in my own life. She helps me think of determination in a more physical sense.

Fuller House, the Netflix sequel, has wrapped. Do you think that’s the last we’ll see of your character, D.J.? I sure hope not. We all love these characters so much. I get messages every single day asking, “Is there going to be another season of Fuller House?,” even though it’s been announced that it was the final season. I hope in the future Warner Bros. and Netflix can work out the terms. That’s really what it comes down to.

What is the biggest misconception about you? People think I’m a bit of a stick-in-the-mud or a goody twoshoes. I don’t really take that as a huge negative, but they’re saying it in a negative way. I’m a fun person. I can be the woman that stays till the end of the party, dancing all night long. Some people think you’re uptight because God’s the focus of your life, but loving God brings me even more joy.
