"Fuller House" star Jodie Sweetin revealed that Michelle Tanner will be brought back to the show at some point.
Sweetin—who will reprise her role of Stephanie Tanner in the Netflix spinoff of "Full House"—said that Michelle will still be a part of the Tanner family and will be mentioned on the show. "The Michelle character is still going to have a presence. It's not like we're not talking about her," she said in an interview with Us Weekly.
Sweetin also had nothing but positive things to say about twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who opted not to join the series. "I love and support [Mary-Kate and Ashley], and I think we're going to be just fine," she said.
Production for the series will begin next month, and Sweetin admits that she never thought the spinoff would happen.
"We first started talking about this in like 2007, 2008 about trying to do some sort of a spinoff and kind of bringing the characters back," said the actress. "This has been a long time in the making. I had kind of given up for periods of time where I'm like, 'It's not going happen!' But we pitched it to Netflix and they were so excited about it."
"Fuller House" will center on veterinarian D.J. Tanner-Fuller (Candace Cameron Bure), a recent widow currently expecting her third child. Her younger sister, aspiring musician Stephanie (Sweetin), and former neighbor Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) move to her home in San Francisco in order to help her care for her two sons.
Netflix has ordered 13 episodes of the series, which will premiere in 2016, according to Entertainment Tonight Online.
