Jodie Sweetin said she and the former Full House cast remain on good terms with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen [1].

Sweetin's comments address long-standing fan curiosity regarding the Olsen twins' absence from the sequel series, Fuller House. Their decision to avoid the revival highlights a definitive shift in their professional interests and a departure from the acting industry.

Speaking during an appearance on the Taboo’s Comics and Kicks podcast on June 30 [1], Sweetin said the twins' choice was based on personal preference. She said the twins did not return because the role was not aligned with their current interests [3].

"Everyone's on good terms with them," Sweetin said [1].

Sweetin reflected on the twins' early careers, noting they were eight years old [1] when the original series ended. She said that while they pursued numerous movies and other projects following the show, she is not sure they enjoyed that work consistently.

"They were 8 years old when this show stopped. Then, they did all of those movies and all that stuff that I don't know that they really loved doing all the time," Sweetin said [1].

Now 40 years old [1], the Olsen twins have largely moved away from acting to focus on other ventures. Sweetin said the twins' absence from the revival was not due to conflict with the production or cast, but rather a lack of passion for the medium.

"This isn’t what they love," Sweetin said [3].

“"Everyone's on good terms with them."”

The confirmation of a positive relationship between the Full House alumni suggests that the Olsen twins' exit from the entertainment industry was a personal choice rather than the result of industry friction. By prioritizing their own interests over the nostalgia of a high-profile revival, the twins have established a rare precedent for child stars transitioning entirely out of the public eye into private business ventures.
