"Full House" almost had one more love story.
David Lipper, the actor who played Viper, romantic interest to D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure), revealed on the latest episode of the "Full House Rewind" podcast that he was slated to have a bigger part in D.J.'s storyline, had the sitcom gone not been canceled after eight seasons.
As it was, Lipper appeared in four episodes of final season, which ran from 1994 to 1995, and he returned for two episodes of the revival series "Fuller House".
"I was slated to be her next boyfriend going on and on for the rest of the series," Lipper told Dave Coulier. "Until they found out they were gonna be canceled."
"She was gonna make a decision between Nelson and me, because I dumped her, and then I wanted her back," Lipper said on the podcast. "And then, it was gonna be me, but then she picked nobody because the show was ending."
Lipper said that his brief time on the show continues to affect his life. He's still in touch with Bure, John Stamos and Jodie Sweetin. And the show has brought him a lot of attention over the years.
"I get recognized more from Full House than the 60 movies I've done since put together," Lipper said.
