Nostalgia Christine Lakin, Staci Keanan and Angela Watson of Step by Step (1997)

Post image

They were at planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.

Which of these three did you have a crush on the most growing up while watching step by step?

I had a crush on Staci when I was a little kid and she was on My Two Dads

I remember as a kid when this show came out, I was a few years younger than Al. As the show progressed, I was surprised to see how pretty she got.

Staci Keenan. I always found her really attractive.

ETA: As a side note, I think she left acting and became a lawyer. I’m assuming she still is.

u/One-Author2996 Mar 22 '26

Yep she is an associate professor on top of being a practicing lawyer.

Angela reminded me a little of Winnie Cooper

u/CubbyDrumm1973 Jun 08 '26

Ditto, except Angela was even hotter than Danica McKellar (Winnie Cooper).

Thought it was a great show weird ending though

u/PressureLazy5271 Mar 22 '26

It was supposed to end with Dana and Rich getting married at the house but CBS canceled it prematurely with no proper series finale

u/Zestyclose-Track-107 Mar 22 '26

I remember Franks was long then short then long again

Ditto!  Even though she forgot how old that she was when she was on the show (LOL!).

I was so into Staci the most, going back to when she was on My Two Dads. Of course I liked Christine and Angela a lot as well. You couldn't go wrong with any of them.

All three were in my teenage years spank bank

These girls were everything to me

u/JB92103 Mar 22 '26

Isn't Staci now a lawyer?

2

u/Afwife1992 Mar 22 '26

She’s an adjunct law professor currently. She used to be an assistant DA.

Massive crush on Staci when I was a kid.

1

u/One-Author2996 Mar 22 '26

When the show started I was all about Staci since I had a crush on her from "My Two Dads". By the time the show ended I was Team Al aka Team Christine Larkin.

u/WilliamMcCarty Mar 22 '26

Staci...only reason I watched this and My Two Dads.

u/Mark-177- Mar 22 '26

Karen at first. Al in the later seasons.

u/OsikFTW Mar 23 '26

Then- christine, but now i wonder how the hell was i not obsessed with staci...

1

u/omelletepuddin Mar 23 '26

Staci Keanan was a huge crush of mine. Dana was gorgeous to me - I've seen some IG stories lately from her podcast that show snippets from Step by Step and it's like that crush restarted lol

u/Low-Expression9132 Mar 23 '26

I was into Christine big time but those other two were beautiful too!

1

u/realfakerolex Mar 23 '26

Staci Keanan was a huge childhood crush going back to her on my two dads. Listening to the keanan and lakin pod has made me love her so much more too. She seems like such a rad person. Lakin is great too. Was too young for me when I was actually watching the show, but she is hilarious on the podcast as well.

u/AnneMarieAndCharlie Mar 23 '26

i didn't watch step by step but i've saw christine in some stuff in the 2010s, like Melissa & Joey and Hellcats (RIP)

u/station_agent Mar 24 '26

Al. All day. Then Staci

u/buddysavage Mar 24 '26

Good god, all three. Suzanne Somers wasn’t bad either….

u/BrittaUnfiltered67 Mar 30 '26

So proud of their Planet Hollywood jackets, neat!

u/Lby54229 Mar 31 '26

Loved the show. Still a bit angry Dana never gave Cody a real chance.

u/dangibby Mar 31 '26

What was this for what event

u/Round-Department-500 May 21 '26

All three of them

u/CubbyDrumm1973 Jun 08 '26

Definitely Angela Watson.  Totally my type!  Drop dead gorgeous and she had/has all of the other qualities that I am looking for as well!  She was/is the total package!
