Here's How 'Fuller House' Will Explain the Olsens' Absence
Now that it's one hundred percent official that the Olsen twins won't be appearing in the upcoming "Full House" revival, "Fuller House," the rest of the reunited Tanner clan will need to explain away their absence -- and it looks like we already know how that will play out.
According to Us Weekly, the twins' character, Michelle, will be mentioned as living in New York City -- far away from the show's San Francisco setting -- and "working on creating her fashion empire." That's a nod to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's real life foray into fashion with their lines The Row and Elizabeth and James (they famously "retired" from acting to focus on those brands), and their current NYC residence.
And that's not all the series has planned for the youngest Tanner. Us Weekly reports that "one 'Fuller House' episode features the series' characters prank-calling Michelle by saying, 'You got it, dude!,'" Michelle's catchphrase from the original series.
It all sounds a bit meta, but the Olsens' omission will be a glaring one, and it seems smart to acknowledge it in some way. We'll see how successful this plan turns out to be soon.
"Fuller House" will debut on Netflix sometime in 2016.
