Later in the series, he marries Rebecca Donaldson, Danny's co-host on Wake Up, San Francisco, with whom he has twin sons Nicholas and Alexander, better known as Nicky and Alex.
[4] In contrast with Danny, Jesse is portrayed as irresponsible most of the time, but occasionally serves as a responsible adult when one is needed (such as when he learns that Stephanie's classmate is a child abuse victim in the season six episode "Silence is Not Golden").
He later works with Joey as co-host of an afternoon drive time show on local radio station KFLH called The Rush Hour Renegades.
In "Making Out is Hard to Do", he decides to quit being a musician until he has a nightmare in which he appears on Downbeat (a Behind the Music-style show-within-a-dream-sequence) where he dreams that his family hates him, Rebecca has divorced him (and moved on with Joey) and Jesse himself was a mechanic, as well as overweight and balding (because of a scalp infection), with Kimmy Gibbler (dressed in the attire of the Married... with Children character Peggy Bundy) as a wife.
Jesse becomes the music composer for General Hospital while Becky and Danny start a new nationally syndicated talk show called, Wake Up USA.
Daniel Ernest "Danny" Tanner (portrayed by Bob Saget, John Posey in the unaired pilot) is left with three young daughters to raise after his wife, Pam, dies in a car accident caused by a drunk driver.
Danny goes on his first date since his wife's death in the season one episode "Sea Cruise", as part of a fishing trip that was intended to only include himself, Jesse and Joey.
While Rebecca goes on maternity leave in season five just before giving birth to his nephews Nicky and Alex, Danny ends up falling in love with her co-host replacement, Vicky Larson.
In season seven's "The Perfect Couple", Vicky ends up getting her dream job of anchoring the network news in New York City, but a long-distance relationship does not work for either of them.
Danny views spring cleaning as his equivalent to Christmas and home movies as his New Year's Eve (as revealed in the season two episode "Goodbye, Mr. Bear").
Joey works as a stand-up comedian, whose act usually includes vocal imitations of cartoon characters such as Popeye, Bullwinkle J. Moose, Pepé Le Pew, and others.
His father realizes that Joey made the right career decision when he sees him perform as an opening act for Wayne Newton in Las Vegas.
For a while during seasons two and three, Joey and Jesse run an advertising business, J&J Creative Services, in which they compose jingles for television and radio commercials.

In Fuller House, Stephanie volunteers to give up her life in London to move back into her childhood home to help take care of her sister's three kids.
Characters mention that she is now living in New York and owns a fashion company—a reference to the Olsen twins' then-current occupation and location—while looking directly into the camera.
The two almost elope in Lake Tahoe in the season two finale "Luck Be a Lady", but back out when Becky realizes that she and Jesse are not really ready to get married.
In Fuller House, the twins are portrayed as dimwitted young adults who are strongly despised by their once-doting parents, who find them to be annoying and immature.
Ramona quickly befriends one of the popular girls in school named Lola Wong and briefly dates Jackson's friend Bobby Popko.
They meet in season five's "Nicky and/or Alexander", when Vicky fills in for Becky (who is on maternity leave) on Wake Up, San Francisco, and start dating two episodes later in "Easy Rider".
He and Michelle even consider trying to be boyfriend and girlfriend in third grade in the season eight episode "Dateless in San Francisco", but find that it is no fun for children their age.
Denise Frazer (portrayed by Jurnee Smollett) is Michelle's best female friend, introduced in the season six episode "The Long Goodbye".
Stephanie gets involved in a few wild, irresponsible things because of Gia, such as going to a make-out party planned by her in the season eight episode "Making Out is Hard to Do", and (almost) smoking in "Fast Friends".
Viewers learn (as of "Making Out is Hard to Do") that because of Stephanie, Gia has stopped smoking, became more respectful, improved her grades, and lost her inclination to play pranks on other people.
He usually calls her "Chief", and she refers to him as her boyfriend—without understanding that term's full meaning (as Stephanie put it in Harry's first appearance, "you're a boy, and you're my friend; that makes you my boyfriend").
He broke up with her because of that, but after talking it over with Jesse and Joey, he returned to her apartment to find that she had cleaned it (by shoving everything in the closet) and he apologized which led to them reconciling their relationship.
Rusty (portrayed by Jordan Christopher Michael) is the son of Cindy, Danny's girlfriend in season four, first appearing in "Terror in Tanner Town".
