Candace Says Moving On Was About Her Career Opportunities
Candace Cameron Bure decided to move on from Hallmark, who she partnered with on several films, in 2022. She says that despite her decision to move on from Hallmark, there’s no bad blood there.
It wasn’t so much about leaving as it was about an opportunity to grow a new network that puts faith and family at the forefront of its content. I’m very proud of the work I did at Hallmark for 15 years and love all my friends there.
I’m more than an actor. Growth in my company as well as my achievements in business is extremely important to me.

The Full House Alum Was Met With Backlash For Great American Family Channel
The actress saw Great American Family Channel as a business opportunity. That said, it wasn’t an easy sell to fans. When fans claimed it was a hateful move, Candace responded.
I am a devoted Christian. Which means that I believe that every human being bears the image of God. Because of that, I am called to love all people, and I do. If you know me, you know that I am a person who loves fiercely and indiscriminately. My heart yearns to build bridges and bring people one step closer to God, to love others well, and to simply be a reflection of God’s huge love for all of us.,” she continued in her lengthy rant.
I have long wanted to find a home for more faith-based programming. I am grateful to be an integral part of a young and growing network. I had also expressed in my interview, which was not included, that people of all ethnicities and identities have and will continue to contribute to the network in great ways both in front of and behind the camera, which I encourage and fully support.
