During his very first podcast interview, with his former Step by Step daughters Staci Keanan and Christine Lakin on their rewatch pod Keanan and Lakin Give You Déjà Vu, Patrick Duffy gave a wide-ranging interview looking back on his successful television career.
While they touched on his ’80s favorite Dallas and ’70s breakout Man from Atlantis, they of course wanted to talk all things Step by Step, too.
The ’90s sitcom was like a “new era of The Brady Bunch,” Duffy, 75, shared of the show that followed him as Frank Lambert and Suzanne Somers as his wife, Carol Lambert, plus their blended family of six kids.
He recalled meeting the late Somers for the first time, briefly when they were both offered their parts on the spot without even auditioning. And from there, they just clicked … almost too well.
Keanan noted that some viewers have called the show “horny” since it ended in 1998.
