'Full House' Star Says Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Not Returning for 'Fuller House' was a 'Missed Opportunity'
'Full House' star Andrea Barber is wishing the world could have seen a grown up Michelle Tanner.
Speaking on the most recent episode of her podcast, "How Rude, Tanneritos!", Barber who played fan-favorite neighbor Kimmy Gibbler along with her co-host Jodie Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner, were talking with Blake McIver Ewing who starred as Michelle Tanner's friend Derek S. Boyd on the original version of the show.
Sharing memories of working together, McIver Ewing mused that his character would still be in the show's filming location of San Francisco, and hopefully teaching musical theater.
"This is such a missed opportunity not having Michelle come back for 'Fuller [House]'," Barber said of the Olsen twins' decision not to return for the Netflix reboot of the show. "We could have had so may back stories with Derek and Teddy (Taj Mowry) and all of them, it would have been great to see where are they now."And Sweetin then joked that there will have to be a spin-off series entitled 'House Full of Michelle's Friends without Michelle.''The 'Full House' aired from 1987 to 1995 and 'Fuller House,' which McIver Ewing returned for, came to Netflix in 2016 and ran until 2020. The actor also starred in 1994's "The Little Rascals," along with the Olsen twins, is still acting today. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬

Jay Baruchel drops out of 'Reacher' season 4, role recast with 'Barry' alum Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette
There's been a major behind-the-scenes shakeup on Reacher. Entertainment Weekly can confirm that Jay Baruchel dropped out of the upcoming season 4, and Barry alum Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette has been recast in the role. The news comes only two weeks after the This Is the End star's casting was announced along with the rest of the new season 4 roles (the only confirmed returning actor is series lead Alan Ritchson). According to Deadline, Baruchel was "forced to exit the series to attend to a personal matter." Rodriguez-Marquette will now play the major role of Jacob Merrick, a small-town policeman ripped directly from the pages of Lee Child's 13th book in his Jack Reacher series, Gone Tomorrow, upon which the new season is based. Jacob becomes Jack Reacher's (Ritchson) No. 1 ally in his new mission. Gone Tomorrow kicks off when Reacher witnesses a suicide on the subway in New York. He soon discovers the woman who killed herself was Pentagon staffer Susan Mark, who was caught up in a larger conspiracy involving a corrupt politician, Al Qaeda terrorists, and countless murders. Reacher must work against the clock with Susan's brother Jacob to solve the mystery of why Susan killed herself, find her missing son Peter, and ultimately save his own life when he gets caught up with dark forces with almost unlimited power. Rodriguez-Marquette joins the previously announced season 4 cast additions including GLOW alum Sydelle Noel, My Life With the Walter Boys star Marc Blucas, Alias alum Kevin Weisman, Indonesian singers Agnez Mo and Anggun, The Expanse alum Kathleen Robertson, and Poker Face's Kevin known for his recurring role on HBO's Barry, Rodriguez-Marquette's other TV appearances include Mozart in the Jungle, Joan of Arcadia, Even Stevens, Weeds, Lucifer, and Beverly Hills, 90210, among others. He has also been in films including I Hate the Man in My Basement, Chokeslam, Broken Horses, and Fear, Inc. A premiere date for Reacher season 4 has not yet been announced.
