What did Bob Saget say about the Olsen twins?
Despite the bogus claims made in the video, Bob and the Olsen twins reportedly shared a tight bond.

Speaking in an interview in February 2021, Bob revealed that he regularly kept in touch with the twins as well as fellow cast members.
He said: “Whoever I was with at the moment, just like my own kids.

Why were the Olsen twins not in Fuller House?

Mary-Kate said during the approach: “I have not been in front of a camera since I was 17, and I don’t feel comfortable acting.
"It would have to be me because Ash doesn’t want to do it. But the timing is so bad for us.”
