And then he said, &#8216;Just wait here, one second, I got to go get Lucy.&#8217; We were like, &#8216;Lucy? Who is Lucy? Is it a new dog? Like, what is Lucy?'&#8221; she recalled. &#8220;He brought us this little ukulele that he named Lucy that apparently he taught himself how to play a couple years ago and he serenaded us for like a good 15 minutes, and it was so sweet. Judith [Light] and I, of course, we just melted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Who&#8217;s the Boss? wrapped in 1992, but Milano said that the tight-knit cast has managed to stay in touch in recent years with the help of social media.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s such a weird thing because when our show ended, nobody texted, there wasn&#8217;t Facebook, there wasn&#8217;t social media, so it was a lot harder to keep in touch with people,&#8221; she said. &#8220;There were many lost years, but now it&#8217;s so convenient to just be able to send a text and say, &#8216;Thinking about you!&#8217; and &#8216;Love you!&#8217; It&#8217;s made it a lot easier, so we talk to each other all the time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Danny [Pintauro] is doing really well too,&#8221; she added. &#8220;[He&#8217;s] just so brave in coming out as HIV positive and all of his advocacy that he&#8217;s been doing. We&#8217;re all so very proud of him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ET caught up with Milano at the Los Angeles Rams&#8217; practice facility in Thousand Oaks, California, where she also opened up about creating her highly successful NFL clothing line, Touch, and making Atkins-friendly game day snacks for the whole family.
