Where Is the Cast of Step by Step Now?

Fans responded positively to the show, as it earned enough live viewers for seven seasons and was a mainstay of CBS’s TGIF (Thank God it’s Friday) primetime viewing block of original programming.

Now, the show is currently streaming on various platforms like Max and Prime Video and is being enjoyed by a new generation of viewers.

If you were an OG fan of the show and are wondering what the cast of the show is doing now, we’ve taken a look at their careers to see what’s going on with the series’s main characters.

Before landing the series lead role as the patriarch of the Lambert family, Patrick Duffy had acted in the long-running primetime soap opera Dallas for a staggering 326 episodes. After the show’s tenure, he’d go on to star in 160 episodes of Step by Step for 160 episodes and would go on to lend his voice to popular cartoons like Family Guy and Justice League.

In 2012, Duffy would return to a Dallas reboot where he would reprise his role, and more recently he appeared in Station 19, NCIS, all while playing a recurring role on The Bold and the Beautiful, which he continues to act in throughout 2023.

Somers became a household name well before Step by Step during her tenure on Three’s Company, where she played Chrissy Snow for 100 episodes. Then she landed the lead in another comedy series, She’s the Sheriff, for two seasons and 44 episodes. Step by Step would become the next high-profile series she’d land, but Somers was known for other ventures, too.

Call had a successful child acting career. He was featured in 70 episodes of Santa Barbara and 21 of The Charmings, and played the adorable kid Hobie on Baywatch. Action movie lovers may recognize him from the sword-fighting flick Blind Fury starring Rutger Hauer.

Keanan, like many of the cast members of Step by Step, was able to nab recurring roles in other successful series before acting in the long-running show. In 1990, she was on Going Places, and she was one of the three main leads in My Two Dads. She landed a main character role in Step by Step for all 160 episodes of the series and would go on to appear in other programs like Cybill and Boy Meets World.

According to Watson’s IMDb page, she hasn’t really participated in many TV shows following her tenure on Step by Step. She appeared in the video Final Approach and had a part in the short film Cowboys and Indians. In addition to her acting career, Watson was purportedly also a professional model.

Lakin has taken on multiple roles in the entertainment industry following her tenure on Step by Step. She’s directed multiple episodes of popular series like The Goldbergs and High School Musical, along with the 2012 TV mini-series Lovin’ Lakin, a mockumentary where she plays a dramatized version of herself returning to Hollywood.
