That’s a laugh! LORI THINKS SHE’LL BE BACK ON TV

COLLEGE SCANDAL MOM PLANS RETURN – WHILE FACING DECADES IN PEN

-

DELUSIONAL Lori Loughlin is convinced she’s coming back to TV! That’s the word from sources who said the “Fuller House” star, 55, is so confident she and hubby Mossimo Giannulli, 56, will beat the rap in the college admissions scandal case, she’s trying to book TV gigs for the upcoming season! According to insiders, the disgraced actress has already had conversati­ons with the Hallmark Channel about returning to the series “When Calls the Heart” — despite being fired last year after she and fashion designer Mossimo were accused of paying fixer Rick Singer $500,000 to get daughters Olivia Jade and

Isabella Rose Giannulli into the University of Southern California!

“Lori is convinced she and Moss are going to win their legal battle and the charges against them will be tossed,” said an insider.

Although Lori and Mossimo, who have pleaded not guilty, each face up to 45 years behind bars if convicted, the insider said, “She’s certain she’ll be welcomed back to ‘When Calls the Heart’ with open arms!”

Lori was written off the historical drama last year when her character, Abigail Stanton, left the town of Hope Valley — but the door remains open for the beloved café owner’s return.

Show creator Brian Bird said,

“Some of the fans have asked what will happen to Abigail’s character and shared their opinion that Hope Valley should be an example of forgivenes­s and grace As Lori’s friend,

I could not agree more.”

But Brian added, “Having a heart of forgivenes­s does not mean that justice can be ignored.”

Two weeks ago,

The National

ENQUIRER revealed damning photos showing Isabella Rose, 21, and Olivia Jade,

20, posing on rowing

machines, which prosecutor­s alleged were part of their parents’ effort to create phony athletic profiles and pave their way into college. According to renowned criminal defense attorney Peter Gleason, who is not connected to the case, the photograph­s “should drive the final nails into Lori and Mossimo’s defense.”

Despite pals close to the actress denying it, sources said Lori can’t wait to get back on the Vancouver set of “When Calls the

Heart.”

“Lori’s talking about all the things Abigail can do when she gets back to Hope Valley,” the source said.

“She’s not even preparing herself for the possibilit­y of prison.

“Everyone is concerned that she’s not putting her focus where it needs to be.”
