Lori Loughlin is reportedly plotting her comeback to acting after completing her two-month prison sentence.

Just a week after being released from prison for her involvement in the 2019 college admissions scandal, the Full House alum is already looking forward to “getting her life back” by returning to the screen, according to Entertainment Tonight.

"[Lori] would love to start working again one day, but she is scared people won't work with her," revealed an insider, who told the outlet that the 56-year-old has already “had her team put out feelers."

The source added that the actress — who was freed from Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, on December 28 — described prison as being “unlike anything Lori has ever experienced in her life.”

The insider also detailed Loughlin’s “perfect” homecoming, saying, “Her girls put together a special homecoming with flowers, welcome home decorations and her favorite foods. She was emotionally overwhelmed by how much she missed them and still has to remind herself that if anything good came out of all this it's their closeness and renewed faith in their tight-knit family."

As fans know, Loughlin’s husband, Mossimo Giannulli, is currently still serving his five-month prison sentence for his part in the scandal as well.

“She has told friends that finally being home is the best holiday gift she could ever ask for, and now her focus is counting the days until her husband is home," the source said of Loughlin. "Lori spent her first week [at home] appreciating every minute of settling in and spending time with her girls. Now that she is safe at home and getting back into her routine, she is finding it very difficult to not to worry about Mossimo."

In addition to serving time, Loughlin has also been ordered to complete 100 hours of community service and pay a fine of $150,000 upon her release.
