Editing out Loughlin’s character required some minor reshoots, according to EW. And in the end there will be one less episode in season 6.
The Indictment:
Lori Loughlin and fellow actress Felicity Huffman were among the 40 charged in “Operation Varsity Blues” on Tuesday, March 12th.
Loughlin’s husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, was taken into custody that day and she left Vancouver where she was the filming the latest Garage Sale Mysteries — Three Little Murders — to surrender to authorities in Los Angeles on Wednesday morning. She was later released on $1 million bail.
Loughlin and her husband’s alleged $500,000 bribe was to get their two daughters Isabella and Olivia Jade Giannulli into the University of Southern California, by designating them as “recruits to the U.S.C. crew team” even though neither of them rowed. The daughters posed for photos on rowing machines to sell the scam.
Chrissy Teigen and her husband John Legend mocked the scam in a tweet.

When the scandal broke, Olivia Jane was enjoying Spring Break in the Bahamas on a $100 million yacht owned by billionaire Rick Caruso, the chairman of USC’s Board of Trustees and the father of her new college friend “Gigi”.
Olivia Jane no longer attends USC and her parents are facing jail time.
Loughlin was arraigned in federal court in Boston last week and she and Giannulli were charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. The couple will also be charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Saturday Night Live opened with a skit of Lori Loughlin (Kate McKinnon) in jail on last night’s show.
