Corey Haim makes an early career appearance as "Jeff", C Thomas Howell's little brother in the movie.  Director David Greenwalt had previously written for such 80's TV classics as "Wonder Years", "Shannon's Deal" and "Doogie Howser, M.D". On the large screen he scripted several movies including "American Dreamer", "Class" and "Rude Awakening". In the 90's he worked from the start with Joss Whedon on the TV mega-series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". For the first three seasons he wrote and directed numerous episodes and acted as co-executive producer. He subsequently became the Executive Producer and chief architect of the successful Buffy spin-off TV series, ANGEL. Lori Loughlin and the rest of Full House Cast did an episode parodying "Secret Admirer" in which a love letter, created as a prank by the new bratty young neighbor was circulated through the household and created general havoc and confusion, resulting in a climax at the backyard picnic table in true Tanner Family style. -Thanks to Kimmie GibblerKelly Preston (Deborah) tried out for "The Blue Lagoon" but lost out to Brooke Shields.

The first teenage couple he barges in on, the guy in the car is Doug Savant, who later went on to play social worker Matt Fielding in the hit drama "Melrose Place".

Burbank High School, Burbank, CA was used. You can see "Home of the Bulldogs" when C. Thomas, Lori and Kelly are walking on Glenoaks Blvd. in the scene when school is out. Most of the High School and bleachers were torn down during a subsequent remodeling of the school. The filmmakers also used McCambrige Park, just down the street from Burbank High. [Thanks to Julie] The port of Long Beach was used for the climactic scene. Can you help? Do you know any of the Los Angeles, S. California (or any other) filming locations used for Secret Admirer?
