AceShowbiz - "Fuller House" will apparently borrow facts about Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen to explain their character Michelle's absence on the show. Us Weekly has obtained details about the upcoming Netflix series, revealing that it will make references to the actresses' real lives.
A show insider tells the site that the returning characters will "mention that Michelle is now living in New York City and working on creating her fashion empire." The Olsen twins themselves reside in the Big Apple and head two fashion labels, The Row and Elizabeth and James.
The source goes on revealing that in one episode, the show's characters will prank call Michelle by saying, "You got it, dude!" It's Michelle's catchphrase from the original series.
Star Lori Loughlin said last November that the Olsen twins wouldn't reprise their role as Michelle for the reboot. "No, I don't think they're going to make a cameo. They didn't this season," Loughlin said in an interview with The Huffington Post.
"Fuller House" will center on the recently widowed DJ (Candace Cameron Bure) and her three kids, along with her sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and neighbor Kimmy (Andrea Barber). It will be preceded by a one-hour reunion that reunites original stars, including Bob Saget, John Stamos, Dave Coulier and Scott Weinger.
No release date is set for the 13-episode series yet.
