'I can’t work like this,'" he said. "... Stamos speculated that the sisters didn't have a great experience on "Full House" in the first place. At least that was the official story.

And in 2004, after their 18th birthday, Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen took control of the company, making themselves Co-presidents and co-CEO. Despite reportedly being one of the streaming giant's highest rated shows, Netflix decided to end the series after five seasons. News the cast and crew were excited to receive that final season order because they were close to being canceled altogether. For Netflix and the pacing of the show, five seasons is a perfect run, the source added. Though the sisters have since stepped away from acting in lieu of successful careers in fashion, Stamos had the chance to reprise his role as Jesse on the sitcom's revival, Fuller House.

Together, they all did their part in raising Danny's three daughters — D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin), and little Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen). "It's a true story, the Olsen twins did a cry a lot," Stamos said in 2015, per Deadline. "That's 100% accurate. They brought in non-actor redheaded kids. That didn't work. I said to get the Olsen twins back."

He later told Howard Stern's Sirius XM show that the Olsens were "hesitant" to return to acting after so much time away from the business, but that he fully supported their decision. "They decided not to, which I respect," Stamos said, per E! "They just were afraid of acting. They don't consider themselves actresses." In 1993, the sisters founded a production company, Dualstar Entertainment Group. The company produced movies and videos of the girls.

Mary-Kate checked herself into rehabilitation for anorexia in 2004. The production company owned by the twins is called Dualstar. In addition to the talented twins, Full House also starred comedian Bob Saget as patriarch Danny Tanner, and John Stamos as his brother-in-law, Jesse Katspolis. According to Screen Rant, Stamos had a bit of clout with ABC on the heels of his General Hospital fame, and apparently tried to use it to get rid of the Olsen twins early on when they were still babies. Stamos complained that the baby girls cried too much on the set and were difficult to film scenes with, so the Olsens were briefly replaced.
As they became teenagers and then adults, the sisters both realized they wanted something more from their careers than acting could give them. Both have spoken at various times about how they viewed being actresses, and their memories weren't exactly fond. The 1980s brought several truly wonderful sitcoms to the small screen, many of them remaining as staples of pop culture long after their finales hit the airwaves.

The opportunity to show them I could do it is crazy. They bought me a club inside their house, before I got my own mansion. It was like American Horror Story. I’m like, “Yo, this is going elsewhere.” I wasn’t 18 yet.
Producers initially envisioned the Olsen twins reprising their role as Michelle, but Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who have since retired from acting but are still uber-famous, declined the opportunity. Despite leaving the acting world after the original series ended in 1995 to work in academia, Andrea Barber had no hesitations about reprising the role of Kimmy Gibbler as one of the new show's three leads. And love it they did, with IndieWire reporting that season one of Fuller House was Netflix’s highest rated original-series, according to data from Symphony Advanced Media. "We were trying to do some kind of spinoff" for years John Stamos, who serves as a producer, said of the sequel series when he announced it was happening on Jimmy Kimmel Live! John later revealed on Instagram that "every single network and streamer" said no to the idea before Netflix decided to reboot it. The scene was eventually filmed with a set of monkey bars instead.
The cast breaks the fourth wall and turns to the camera, giving prolonged, knowing looks. Because the Olsen twins actually were in New York, running a high-end fashion empire. Peck had his own story to share about the Olsen twins, admitting he’d asked Mary-Kate on a date. "[The Full House cast] really hadn't been in touch with the Olsen twins, which I hadn't seen in many years," he said during an Instagram live in June 2022. "They came, and they were loving and so kind. [They] clearly missed us, we clearly missed them." As for their friendship today, he had nothing but lovely things to say about them after reconnecting amid Bob Saget's untimely death in January 2022.
Here's how their lives have changed in the decades since their television debut. During a recent appearance on the And That's What You Really Missed podcast, the Glee guest staropened up about a scenario that occurred in the beginning stages of Fuller House in 2015. At the time, most of the cast members were slated to return for the Netflix reboot, including himself and late cast mate Bob Saget. But instead of joining the next era of Tanners, the Olsen twins declined stepping back into their shared role of Michelle. This caused John to feel upset for several reasons.
