During an appearance on SiriusXM's "The Howard Stern Show," John Stamos shared his difficulty in accepting that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen would not be reprising their roles in the "Fuller House" reboot. "I was only upset because I thought it would be nice to have them for a minute," the actor explained. However, the Olsen twins had made it clear that they were done with acting, and not even the cast of their iconic show could persuade them otherwise.
In an attempt to find a solution, Stamos considered enlisting the help of Elizabeth Olsen, the younger Olsen sister, as the actor shared in a conversation with Andy Cohen on "Radio Andy." Elizabeth broke onto the showbiz scene with her role in the 2011 indie movie "Martha Marcy May Marlene" and further cemented her household name status by becoming a part of the "Marvel" multiverse three years later.
Elizabeth's impressive resume and potential scheduling conflicts clearly didn't stop Stamos from thinking he could get her on board. "We talked to her agent, and her agent was like, 'Come on, she's not going to do that,' but we did call her agent," the actor detailed to Cohen. Unfortunately, Elizabeth did not sign on for the project, but Stamos eventually found a way to move past the disappointment of the Olsen family not participating in the reboot.
