Candace Cameron Bure looks back on playing Satan-worshipping witch on “Boy Meets World”: 'It was a little weird'
Bure appeared on a 1997 episode.
Candace Cameron Bure is now known for being outspoken about her faith and for starring in and producing happy movies for Great American Family. It might come as a surprise that, in 1997, just two years after Full House had gone off the air, she played against type in a witchy episode of Boy Meets World.
"I remember when they asked me, if I would feel comfortable, and they asked me to do that part," Bure said of playing Millie, an actual witch on this week's edition of the Pod Meets World podcast, hosted by former cast members Rider Strong, Danielle Fishel, and Will Friedle. "They were like, 'How do you feel about playing a witch?'"
Her response was simple: "Well, I'm an actress. Like, totally fine. This is fun. It's sitcom. It's comedy."

Candace Cameron Bure appears on 'Boy Meets World' in 1997Plus, it was Boy Meets World.
"It still felt like a very safe place to do that," Bure said, "because of what the show was all about in itself. And it's a family show. So I felt comfortable in that way. But it was a little weird. I mean, I remember saying some of those lines now having watched. And I'm like, yeah, this doesn't totally feel good."
Still, Bure said she probably wouldn't take that exact role — which features Millie performing Satantic Halloween rituals — today.

"If there was a part that called for the evil witch, but it was redemptive at the end, that's what I'm always looking for in my storytelling and stories of faith, whether they have faith or not," she said. "I just want redemption. So if the through line was like, evil is good, let's keep practicing this, my answer would be no."
In this case, the episode "The Witches of Penbrook" ended with the witch, who dated Jack (Matthew Lawrence), simply failing, the former costars agreed.

Bure had good things to say about appearing on the show, but not so much watching it back. It made her think, "I said that?"
One of the lines that made her cringe: "I'm the queen of darkness."
As she recalled, "They were like, say it in the most evil, growly voice that you possibly can, my demon voice. And I'm like, I didn't even know I had one. But as an actor, you're kind of just like, OK, let's just have fun with this and do that. But I'm laughing watching this show."
Just last month, Bure was one of those who criticized the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris, alleging that it mocked The Last Supper. However, officials said it wasn't referencing Leonardo Da Vinci's famous painting at all, but rather Dionysus, the Greek god of festivities and wine.
