Last week, the much-awaited 'Fuller House' series premiered on Netflix!

This time it's based around D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure) who returns to San Francisco to raise her three boys after her husband dies. Like her father before her, she gets some help from her younger sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and best friend/kooky neighbor Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber).

One of the biggest questions during pre-production was if Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen – the twins who shared the role of Michelle Tanner – would return.

However, they did not return & the producers haven't passed up the opportunity to mention it in the first episode! 

Addressing the youngest sister’s absence head on, with Danny saying “Michelle sends her love, but is busy in New York running her fashion empire.” Clearly a dig at the real life Olsen twins who left their child-acting empire behind them to found The Row, their own fashion line. 

 

In another scene Ramona Gibbler brags that she bought a new dress: “An Elizabeth and James by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen”.

This indicates that the fashion mogul Olsen twins exist in this universe separate from Michelle Tanner! Then Kimmy remarks, “At these prices no wonder they don’t need to act anymore!”  

 

Sorry Mary-Kate and Ashley, we couldn't let you off that lightly!
