'Full House's' Jodie Sweetin Shared The Best Reasoning For Why The Olsen Twins Didn't Return For Netflix's 'Fuller House'
  • last year
A lot of "Full House" fans made a big deal over the fact that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen didn’t rejoin their TV sisters Candace Cameron Bure and Jodie Sweetin for the Netflix spinoff "Fuller House" in 2016. Heck, the characters even made several remarks about Michelle’s absence in the show. However, all of the original cast members who did reprise their family friendly characters have always made it clear that they respected the Olsen twins’ decision, and Sweetin recently gave a particularly good explanation about why it makes sense that they didn't come back.

Jodie Sweetin, who played middle sister Stephanie Tanner on the ABC sitcom "Full House" and Netflix’s "Fuller House," spoke to Kaitlyn Bristowe on her "Off the Vine" podcast about the career-defining role. Sweetin said there’s always been an assumption that there was some kind of negativity behind the celebrity siblings’ absence, but the reasoning is actually extremely valid.
