The thing that's bizarre is not Ellen Barkin kissing John Stamos, but Ellen Barkin playing Shania's Great-Grandmother. I guess it might be technically possible, especially since she's not necessarily playing her actual age, but I don't get why, if they wanted the character to be Goldie's Grandmother, they didn't hire an older actress. It's not as if they're scarce on the ground in Hollywood.
shareThe whole point of her being as young as she is is to further emphasise the fact that for the past few generations, the women in her family have been getting pregnant young. She was young when she had Goldie's mother, Goldie's mother was young when she had Goldie and Goldie was young when she had Shania. This sort of thing happens all the time in England, so it wouldn't be such a stretch for it to happen in the US too, even with the differing cultures.

Well, Ellen Barkin was born in 1954. In the show it's said that Nana had Goldie's mother when she was 16. That mean's Goldie's mom would have been born in 1970. Goldie's mom had her when she was also 16, that would have been 1986. Shania was born when Goldie was 16.. 2002 and Shania is supposed to be 9, so.. the math works out perfectly actually.
Peace share
I'm glad someone else did the math so I don't have to!
Unfortunately, John Stamos is one of those guys who is actually better-looking now than when he was young. That Full House mullet was so ridiculous, -Adonis himself would look goofy with that haircut.
Her husband (Ellen Barkin's) owns the production rights to the show and since they're both broke, he's trying to keep their Bentley from being repossessed (unlike NeNE Leakes who's scared to even drive down to the 7-11 for cigarettes without backing the car in and cutting the wheel as far as she can get it to the left) , so he's put the ole' broad to work (which is something she hasn't done in a couple of years of Sunday's). ONLY IN AMERICA!
