Candace Cameron Bure is looking back at her time on "Boy Meets World" with a bit of a side-eye.
On Monday, the "Fuller House" actress appeared on the "Boy Meets World" rewatch podcast "Pod Meets World," hosted by Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle and Rider Strong, and recalled playing an evil witch on the 1997 episode "The Witches of Pennbrook."
Bure, 48, said after rewatching the episode for the first time since shooting it, she was "laughing pretty hard in retrospect" and had fun seeing her "bleach blonde hair" in typical '90s fashion. But she also realized her character was "a little bit spookier and darker" and there was more "making out" than she'd remembered.
"I remember when they asked me if I would feel comfortable, and they asked me to do that part," she said. "They were like, 'How do you feel about playing a witch?' And I was like, well, I'm an actress, like, totally fine. This is fun."
Bure shot the episode two years after "Full House" went off the air. At the time, she had just gotten married at 20. The actress is also a long-time Christian and has been open about her faith.

Though the Great American Media chief content officer said she felt comfortable on set of the family show, looking back the character "was a little weird" for her.
"I mean, I remember saying some of those lines now, having watched. And I'm like, ah, this doesn't totally feel good," she said. "Saying like I'm the 'queen of darkness.' And they were like, 'Say it in the most evil, growl-y voice.' My demon voice."

When Fishel asked Bure if she'd take a role like that today, Bure said while she is "not looking to play" herself, to play an evil witch now the role would need to be "redemptive."
"That's what I'm always looking for in my storytelling and stories of faith. Whether they have faith or not, I just want redemption," she said. "But yeah, that exact part, if offered today, probably not."

The actress' faith has led her to speak out in recent months, including about a controversial Olympic opening ceremony scene in July.
The moment featured a cast of drag performers and dancers spread out over a table, which was meant to represent a Pagan celebration of Greek god Dionysus, although many interpreted it as a reference to Leonardo Da Vinci's religious painting "The Last Supper."

Bure shared an impassioned critique of the opening ceremony, saying it "completely blasphemed and mock(ed) the Christian faith with their interpretation of 'The Last Supper' was disgusting."
She added that although people have tried to "correct" her on her interpretation, she's "not buying it."
"I still don’t see how (Dionysus) relates to unifying the world through competitive sports and (is) acceptable for children to watch," she wrote in the caption on July 28.
