When Full House went off the air in 1995 after eight seasons, many stars moved on to other projects. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen went on to have extremely successful careers in both Hollywood and fashion. They have famously separated themselves from their Full House days and decided not to participate in the Fuller House reboot in 2016.

John Stamos Was Upset Mary-Kate And Ashley Olsen Decided Not To Return For The Reboot
Sadly for fans of the original series, Mary-Kate and Ashley, who played Michelle Tanner in 191 episodes, didn’t want to participate in Fuller House. John told the And That’s What You REALLY Missed podcast that their decision initially upset him.
“When I did Fuller House, they didn’t want to come back and I was angry for a minute, and that got out,” John explained. “But they said, ‘We loved you guys, we loved our childhood. We loved being with you. We miss Bob.’ They came over to my house and they brought a pork chop and sage.”
It appears the project wasn’t right for the women who, when the show wrapped, were 8 years old. Today, they are 38 and have moved on to other things besides acting. Mary-Kate and Ashley retired from acting as teenagers to focus on their fashion careers. They established their fashion brand, The Row, in 2004 and have solidified themselves as style mavens.
John Stamos recently posted a picture of himself and the grown-up Olsen twins on Instagram and said that despite what anyone believes, Full House was a family, and they are still close.
“That time the Olsen twins came to Studio 54 to see my performance as the M.C. in Cabaret,” John Stamos captioned. “It was pretty surreal having an all grown-up Michelle Tanner watching me exhibiting a complete metamorphosis from their TV uncle. But they got it, and we shared a mutual pride for how far we’ve all come.”
