  • Ashley Olsen, Sister Mary-Kate: How is Their Absence Explained in First, Subsequent Episodes of “Fuller House?”

    Ashley Olsen and twin sister Mary-Kate–often referred to as the Olsen twins–are the only original Full House cast members who didn’t sign on to the reboot, Fuller House. Now that the series has premiered via Netflix, those who don’t subscribe are curious how the absence of Michelle Tanner–played by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen–is explained in the first episode.

    E! News reports Michelle Tanner is sort of an afterthought in the first episode of Fuller House. In fact, the first reference lasts about 13 seconds, and appears to throw major shade at Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

    In the scene, Stephanie Tanner (played by Jodie Sweetin) asks her dad, Danny Tanner, (played by Bob Saget), where Michelle is.

    “Well, Michelle sends her love, but she’s busy in New York running her fashion empire,” he says.

    Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, of course, run their own fashion empire in New York City.

    Following the remark, the entire Fuller House cast–John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, Candace Cameron-Bure, Dave Coulier, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, and more–stare directly at the camera for what feels like an eternity.

    Fast forward several more episodes. Yes, that’s right. The topic of Michelle Tanner doesn’t come up again until episode seven. Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) and her daughter Ramona (played by Soni Nicole Bringas) return home from a NYC shopping trip. As they are preparing for Ramona’s birthday party, D.J. Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure) asks them how the trip went.

    “Amazing,” Ramona says. “I got my first designer dress for the party. It’s an Elizabeth and James by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.”

    “At these prices, no wonder they don’t need to act anymore,” Kimmy Gibbler says.

    If that’s not shade directed squarely into the faces of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, then nothing is.

    The final reference comes in the final episode of season one. It takes place as follows, in a phone call to Michelle Tanner.

    Stephanie Tanner: “Oh, let’s call Michelle”

    D.J. Tanner: “It’s five in the morning in New York.”

    Stephanie: “Ah, perfect. Aw, voicemail.”

    Kimmy Gibbler: “Why you not come to my wedding? You’re in big trouble mister.”

    D.J.: “No way, Jose!”

    Stephanie: “Awww, nuts.”

    All: “You got it dude!”

    At that is all the coverage Michelle Tanner–once played by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen–get in Fuller House.

    Is the message here that Fuller House will be just fine even without Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen?

    Fans will have to wait for the ratings to see about that.

  • Candace Cameron Bure Says DJ Tanner’s Parenting on “Fuller House” A Bit Like Danny Tanner’s on “Full House”

    Candace Cameron Bure recently chatted with Entertainment Tonight, and during her interview shared a few interesting similarities between her Fuller House grown-up character DJ Tanner and her Full House and Fuller House dad Danny Tanner (played by Bob Saget).

    “She is a little bit like Danny Tanner as a dad,” Candace Cameron Bure said of DJ. “She’s very organized and orderly. She’s a single mom, so she kind of has to be with three kids, and she’s the mom of the group in every way, between Kimmy and Stephanie.”

    “I can honestly say that every scene with Andrea Barber [Kimmy] and Jodie Sweeten [Stephanie] and the legacy cast–they are forever just a huge part of my heart and just so much fun,” she added. “I hope everyone loves the show as much as we [loved] doing it because we want to be back for years and years and years.”

    A new teaser trailer for Fuller House aired for the first time in recent days, replete with the Full House theme song, “Everywhere You Look.” In it, fans get their first look at grown up versions of Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber’s characters–and more.

    Are you excited to see Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and the rest (all but Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) of the Full House gang return to TV via Netflix in Fuller House? It will be fun to see if DJ Tanner’s parenting style truly mimics that of Danny Tanner’s.

    Fans don’t have long to wait. The Netflix series premieres on February 26.

  • Bob Saget: “Fuller House” Star Talks Bill Cosby, Says He’s Done “Despicable” Things

    Bob Saget once viewed Bill Cosby as a mentor. For the first time this week, the Fuller House star has spoken out about that former mentor, saying he’s done some “despicable” things.

    During an interview with the Huffington Post, Bob Saget shared his thoughts on Bill Cosby.

    “I think any human being that does things that are despicable to other human beings will be slightly tarnished by history,” he said. “I went to [Cosby’s alma mater] Temple University, and he was a mentor of mine. It’s very sad. I think the answer is obvious: The man has been tarnished. And it’s just sad for all of the people involved.”

    Bob Saget went on to talk about how another of his mentors, the late Richard Pryor, was also strongly influenced by Bill Cosby’s humor.

    “I was fortunate enough to know Richard Pryor, and Richard Pryor started by copying Cosby’s material,” he said. “Then he went, ‘I’m gonna go try it this way.’ And that was more my influence [from Pryor], but I also had respect for Cosby because he changed stand-up comedy.”

    Bob Saget is reprising his role as Full House dad Danny Tanner in the Netflix reboot of the popular show, called Fuller House.

    It’s sad when those we look up to profoundly let us down. Bob Saget likely isn’t the only actor or comedian who revered Bill Cosby as a mentor. Fortunately there are many other great comedians and actors that today’s up-and-coming stars can look to for inspiration.

  • Jodie Sweetin: Recovering Addict Worked at Treatment Center, Looks Forward to ‘Fuller House’

    Jodie Sweetin is a recovering addict–something she speaks of openly. When Full House ended, she found acting gigs, but only sporadically. In recent years she worked as director of a drug and alcohol treatment center. This work provided valuable life experiences, as well as an income, but acting was always her first love and first choice of jobs.

    These days Jodie Sweetin has left her job at the treatment center and has returned to acting. She is reprising her role as Stephanie Tanner on the upcoming Full House reboot, Fuller House. She was as excited about working with her former cast mates as she was for her return to acting.

    “I was completely on board with it,” Sweetin said during a phone interview while taking a break from filming Fuller House. “I stepped away from (acting) for a little while and enjoyed a normal experience, but when this came along, I got to go back and do the thing that I love. I missed it terribly and am beyond thrilled to be back.

    “The show is so well loved,” Jodie Sweetin added. “My kids are seven and five and watch the show. They think it’s hilarious to see their mom as a kid doing silly stunts and dance moves on the show. They come to the set now and are so excited to see me doing it again. They’ve known the cast their whole lives from barbecues, birthday parties and swimming.”

    In addition to Jodie Sweetin, Fuller House will star Candace Cameron Bure as D.J. Tanner, Andrea Barber as Kimmy Gibbler, John Stamos as Uncle Jesse (Stamos also serves as one of the show’s producers), Bob Saget as Danny Tanner, Lori Loughlin as Aunt Becky, and Dave Coulier as Uncle Joey.

    Noticeably absent are the Olsen twins. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen won’t be reprising their role as Michelle Tanner.

    Will you be tuning in to Netflix in 2016 to check out Jodie Sweetin and the old Full House gang in Fuller House?

  • Lori Loughlin, John Stamos: Aunt Becky and Uncle Jesse Together Again on ‘Fuller House’

    Lori Loughlin and John Stamos are likely reuniting as Aunt Becky and Uncle Jesse on the Netflix reboot of Full House—Fuller House. Stamos teased fans with some photos that hinted at just that on Tuesday.

    The on screen couple appeared (sort-of) in one photo that showed each of their hands–one atop the the other–hiding the script for Fuller House.

    John Stamos shared that shot on Instagram.

    “Becky and Jesse together Forever. #FullerHouse. #Netflix,” he captioned the photo.

    If this doesn’t stir excitement in diehard Full House fans, then nothing will.

    Even though Lori Loughlin was absent from this shot, John Stamos continues to tease Full House fans with this Uncle Jesse photo.

    “And we’re back! Same sideburns- different decade. #FullerHouse #Netflix,” the caption reads.

    Maybe Lori Loughlin was the photographer for this one?

    Lori Loughlin and John Stamos played a magical couple, whose courtship, wedding, and the subsequent birth of their twins won Full House rave reviews.

    It was clearly Lori Loughlin’s birthday when this shot was taken.

    “Running from birthday woman!! @loriloughlin,” John Stamos captioned the photo.

    Are you among those Full House fans excited to see Lori Loughlin and John Stamos reunite as Aunt Becky and Uncle Jesse? Other Full House actors/characters starring in Fuller House include Bob Saget (Danny Tanner), Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner), Candace Cameron Bure (D.J. Tanner), Dave Coulier (Joey Gladstone), Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler), and Scott Weinger (Steve Hale).

    Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen won’t appear when Fuller House debuts, but a recent report says not to rule out any appearances by the Olsen twins, who together played the youngest of the Tanner daughters, Michelle Tanner.

    Do you expect Lori Loughlin and John Stamos will reprise their romance on Fuller House? Or might they simply portray an older, less romantic version of their Full House selves?

  • ‘Fuller House’ Welcomes Another ‘Full House’ Alum: D.J. Tanner’s Boyfriend Steve–Played by Scott Weinger–Joins Cast

    Fuller House is officially in production, and the soon-to-be Netflix series has welcomed yet another Full House alum on board. Fans will surely remember D.J. Tanner’s soulmate, Steve. Scott Weinger has officially signed on to Fuller House to reprise the role.

    So what has Scott Weinger done since Full House ended? He became a successful TV writer. Weinger has written for shows including Galavant, Black-ish, The Neighbors, and 90210.

    How Scott Weinger will play into Fuller House is unknown as of yet. Candace Cameron Bure is reprising her role as D.J. Tanner as a widowed mom with children. Do you think Steve will be her late husband in flashbacks or a love interest who comes back into her life after many years apart? The second option would certainly be far more romantic–don’t you think?

    Other Full House actors who have signed on to Fuller House include Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie Tanner, Andrea Barber as Kimmy Gibbler, John Stamos as Uncle Jesse, Dave Coulier as Uncle Joey, and Bob Saget as Danny Tanner.

    Did you love how D.J. Tanner and Steve were so perfect together on Full House? Are you excited to learn they will be back together again–in some capacity, anyway–on Fuller House?

  • Bob Saget to Reprise Danny Tanner Role on ‘Full House’ Spinoff, John Stamos Thrilled

    Bob Saget was the missing piece of the Fuller House puzzle, but as of the wee hours of Friday morning, he’s a done deal, too. Yes, Bob Saget will reprise his role as Danny Tanner in the Full House spinoff, to the delight of fans. No one is more excited about this, however, than John Stamos, who has worked diligently to get most of the original cast members–including Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, and Dave Coulier–to sign on to the new show.

    Stamos is serving as both producer and actor for the reboot, which will air via Netflix starting in 2016. He is reprising his role as Uncle Jesse on a recurring basis. On Thursday, Lori Loughlin, who played his wife in Full House–Aunt Becky–confirmed she is returning for the reboot.

    John Stamos shared his elation via Twitter about his friend Bob Saget throwing his hat into the Fuller House ring.

    He was clearly very tired when he posted to Twitter, but caught his spelling error, which he shared in another post.

    The only members of the original Full House cast who aren’t returning for the spinoff are the Olsen twins. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen aren’t reprising their role as Michelle Tanner, much to everyone’s dismay.

    Bob Saget will no doubt represent a huge boost to both the cast’s morale and to the show itself. After all, he was the single dad who raised D.J. Tanner, Stephanie Tanner, and little Michelle Tanner with the help of Uncle Jesse, Aunt Becky, and Uncle Joey–played by Dave Coulier. Like John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, and Dave Coulier, Bob Saget will reprise his role on a recurring basis.

    Fuller House will shine its spotlight on a pregnant and widowed D.J. Tanner-Fuller (Cameron-Bure), who is living in San Francisco with her aspiring musician sister Stephanie Tanner (Sweetin) and fellow single mom Kimmy Gibbler (Barber).

    Are you excited to learn Bob Saget will return for Fuller House?

  • Candace Cameron Bure, Andrea Barber: ‘Full House’ Spinoff May Happen

    Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber are likely best known for their roles as DJ Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler on Full House. Now it sounds like a Full House spinoff–starring Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber–may actually happen.

    Netflix is working on the deal, which means the spinoff won’t air on network TV, but fans of Full House would likely go to any lengths to see a spinoff of their beloved show.

    Us Weekly reports that Bob Saget, John Stamos, and Dave Coulier–known for their roles as Danny Tanner, Uncle Jesse, and Uncle Joey, respectively, may make guest appearances on the spinoff.

    Neither Candace Cameron Bure nor Andrea Barber has commented yet on the likelihood of a spinoff. The two have remained close friends since Full House ended back in 1995.

    “I think we value friendships. And it’s true: I can’t look at any other show and see the casts that are still hanging out and are as tight as we are,” Candace Cameron Bure told Us Weekly back in August of 2014.

    “I think being moms really brought us closer together,” Andrea Barber said at that time.

    If the Full House spinoff comes to fruition, fans will get to see Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber in a 13-episode spinoff series.

    Are you among those jumping up and down with excitement at the notion of DJ Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler appearing in a series together again?

    Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber are both 38. Do you expect they’ll still have the same appeal they had during their days on Full House?
