As it turns out, John Stamos was quite “disappointed” that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were not reprising their joint role as Michelle Tanner in “Fuller House,” Netflix’s sequel series to “Full House.”
When Stamos and his “Big Shot” co-star Yvette Nicole Brown sat down with Andy Cohen for a virtual appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” a few sisters called to ask about a few things.
The women asked Stamos, 57, how emotional it was for him to film the finale of the series “Fuller House,” which aired last year. They also asked if he was “surprised” that the Olsens never even made a cameo on the show.
Stamos said the “Full House” finale was “emotional,” stressing that “when we did the original series, we got canceled, and we knew it like a week before, and we just did a normal last show. the last show never really did. So it was pretty emotional. “
He revealed that his last day on set for ‘Fuller House’ was full of his own uproar as he had to do ‘all that crying’ for his ‘Fuller House’ scenes and then ‘scream and scream’ while filming scenes for “Big Shot” on Disney +.
Cohen then pressed Stamos on the Olsen twins and asked, “Were you surprised that the Olsens never appeared on the show, or did you know when they said ‘We’re not doing it’ that they didn’t?”
Stamos said he and the rest of the cast were “disappointed, but we got it.”
‘I remember Lori [Loughlin] say to me, ‘They won two or three CFDAs [Fashion] Awards. “That’s like winning two or three Oscars,” he explained. If you won three Oscars, would you come back and do this? I was like, ‘Uh, maybe not.’ “
Producers reportedly tried to get the Olsens on board for the show’s first Netflix season in 2016. Producer Bob Boyett told People at the time that Ashley had told him: don’t feel comfortable acting. “
Mary-Kate said, “ It should be me, because Ash doesn’t want to do it. But the timing is so bad for us, ” said Boyett.
