John Stamos recently opened up about his initial reaction to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's decision not to return for the Fuller House reboot on Netflix.

Speaking on the latest episode of the And That's What You Missed podcast, the 59-year-old actor revealed that he felt a sense of anger upon learning that the Olsen twins had passed on the opportunity to be part of the revival of the beloved '90s show.

Stamos reflected on the twins' move to New York and how their connection with the late Bob Saget, who played their on-screen father, remained stronger than his own.

While he acknowledged that he maintained some level of contact with Mary-Kate and Ashley, he admitted that Saget had a closer bond with them.

He emphasized the positive impact the twins had on his life and dispelled rumors that suggested they harbored negative feelings toward their childhood or their time on the show.

The candid revelations shed light on his initial emotions surrounding the Olsen twins' absence from Fuller House.

During a recent episode of the podcast, John delved further into the close relationship between himself, Mary-Kate, and Ashley Olsen, and their late co-star Bob Saget.

Stamos revealed that Saget played a crucial role in keeping the cast connected, and his passing prompted a heartfelt conversation between Stamos and the Olsen sisters about their shared experiences on the show.

They also conveyed their deep sadness over Saget's death.

In a touching gesture, the Olsen sisters visited Stamos at his home, bringing along an unexpected gift—a frozen pork chop and sage.

While Stamos couldn't quite decipher the significance of the gift, he expressed his gratitude for their thoughtful gesture.

Stamos emphasized the closeness they maintained despite the twins' decision not to join the Fuller House reboot.

The actor previously discussed his attempt to convince the Olsen twins to reprise their roles during a 2016 appearance on Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show, showcasing his ongoing efforts to include them in the revival.
