You might even say, Gia was the Kimmy to Stephanie's DJ. Here's hoping actress Marla Sokoloff makes a special appearance as Gia in Fuller House , because Gia really helped transform the way we see Full House today. As Gia’s friendship with Stephanie deepened, she experienced a journey of redemption. Stephanie’s positive influence and support played a significant role in Gia’s transformation from a troubled pre-teen to a responsible and caring individual.

She Challenged Stephanie's Morals

And Gia made Rocki apologize for turning Jackson into a cat — something teenage Gia probably would have done herself and thought was hilarious. On Full House, Gia (played by Marla Sokoloff) was Stephanie's junior high BFF, even though she wasn't a very good influence on her. She often led Stephanie to trouble, even if she refused to smoke or engage in Gia's schemes... They hated each other at first, but they quickly became good friends, despite the fact that Gia wasn't exactly the best friend in the world to Steph.

In the season eight episode "Making Out is Hard to Do", Gia's mother Claire tells Danny that because of Stephanie, Gia has changed for the better by quitting smoking and improving grades. In November 2006, she starred in the ABC television series Big Day, which ended on January 30, 2007. She also made a guest appearance in an episode of Burn Notice, where she played Melanie, working undercover as a receptionist at a Miami art gallery whose owner had murdered her character's father. In the hallway, Gia was shown to have fallen for a new boy in school, but he wanted to date Stephanie instead. At the house, she came over and demanded that Stephanie must call off the date or else.

Blames Rocki for Jackson's newfound rebellious behavior and later at Ramona's homecoming dance party to perform "I'm a Believer" by The Monkees with her old band Girl Talk. New Returning FacesMarla Sokoloff will reprise her Full House role of Gia in the new season of Fuller House. A friend of Stephanie's, Gia started out as an enemy for the middle Tanner child. Gia initially had a bad influence on Stephanie, but the two balanced each other out in the end. New Faces on Returning FacesNo, not talking about plastic surgery here. Comes face-to-face with her ex-beau Nelson at her high school reunion he'll be played by a different actor.

Uses her new stamp to notarise their marriage license, Matt discovers this is Gia's fourth marriage. When Matt finds out D.J., Stephanie, and Kimmy are going out, he invites Gia to go with them. While everyone else grew into the people we always knew they had the potential to be, Gia went through a lot of character development in her short two seasons. It was fascinating to see that process helmed by a character who was so different from the Tanner mold. In "Stephanie's Wild Ride", she and Stephanie meet two boys at the mall, and the boys take them out for a drive. Later Stephanie finds out that Gia got into a car accident, along with the two boys.

She also played Imogene O'Neill in the mini series "Meteor". In the beloved television series Full House, Gia Mahan made a lasting impression as Stephanie Tanner’s best friend during the later seasons. Her character arc was one of growth, transformation, and friendship, leaving a significant impact on Stephanie’s life. Over the show's two seasons, Fuller House has graced fans with so many updates on characters from the original show, and now, a longtime Full House guest star is coming back for more — even if D.J. While she may have been a bad influence at times, in the end, Gia and Stephanie's friendship turned out to be a really good thing.

However, the two put their differences aside and became friends in middle school. Gia and her two friends came in the restroom to ditch class and smoke cigarettes. When she offered Stephanie Tanner one, she refused. She considered her a 6th Grade baby and gave her new friend an ultimeum; it was either Stephanie or Gia. The next day, Gia offered her a cigarette, but decided to cut down.

Sokoloff and other "Full House" cast have undoubtedly made their mark in entertainment since starring in the sitcom almost three decades ago, becoming figures their younger selves would have been proud of. After spending three years gaining hands-on knowledge of movie directing, Sokoloff got her chance to show her directional skills with the 2018 movie, "Preschool in L.A." Gia from Full House might be all grown up now, but judging by the photos for Season 2 of Fuller House, she's probably not much tamer, but that's the way fans like her anyway. Fuller House Season 2 premieres Friday, Dec. 9 on Netflix. Since Full House, Sokoloff has been a series regular on shows like The Practice, Party of Five, and later, The Fosters.

After refusing to listen to her, Gia spread a rumor around school that the boy only wanted to date Stephanie, because she paid him $20. The next day, Stephanie chose to get revenge on her by spreading Gia's bad grades around school and titled it "Dishonor Roll". Afterwards, after seeing Gia in tears, Stephanie felt remorse and at the smash club, she became friends with her. Matt got hitched to Gia, D.J.’s rival in high school.
