Lori Loughlin seems to be doing all she can to make up for her college admissions scandal!

According to US Weekly, a source close to the actress revealed that she is now majorly focused on putting the past behind her as she looks forward to what's ahead.

The insider explained that Loughlin has served the time for her actions, finished her probation, paid all her court fines, and completed all her hours of community service.

However, despite completing all those terms, she continues to volunteer and work with Project Angel Food, where she served her 100 hours of community service.

Lori Loughlin's First Acting Gig

As you might know, Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli were involved in the college admission scandal after they were accused of paying a $500,000 bribe to get their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose, into college.

After a lengthy trial, the couple pleaded guilty to fraud charges, with Loughlin sent to two months behind bars while Giannulli spent five months in prison.

Months after her release in December 2020, Loughlin is set to make her return to acting. As The Blast previously reported, she bagged her first acting role in the Hallmark series, "When Calls The Heart."

Loughlin will star as Abigail Stanton in the sequel to the series titled "When Hope Calls: A Country Christmas," set to premiere on December 18.
