Aunt Becky isn’t cheering just yet about the Full House spin-off. Lori Loughlin, who played Rebecca Katsopolis on the beloved series for seven years, told Access Hollywood on Tuesday, April 21 that she, Bob Saget, and Dave Coulier have yet to sign deals.
“First of all, they have been working on this for a while. It’s a spin-off idea that’s a flip on the original series,” Loughlin, 50, said to co-hosts Billy Bush and Kit Hoover. “They made deals with Candace [Cameron Bure], Jodie [Sweetin], and Andrea [Barber]. I believe they just closed [John Stamos’] deal. I don’t have a deal. Dave doesn’t have a deal, Bob — we’re all in negotiations.”
She added: “We want to be there. We want to come back. It’s up to them. It’s not on us. It’s now on them.”
Indeed, Stamos revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday night that Netflix is officially producing and releasing a 13-episode reboot for 2016. The hunky actor will also be reprising his role as Uncle Jesse, but kept mum on whether his on-screen wife Rebecca would be making an appearance.
As for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen? Well, not even Loughlin has high hopes that the twins will come back as Michelle Tanner.
“It doesn’t matter how much money they get paid, they don’t care,” she told Access Hollywood. “I honestly don’t know if they want to do it. I’m sure they’re talking to them. I don’t know what’s going on there. Everyone would love it [if they came back], it would be really nice.”
“But actually you just need one of them,” Hoover interjected. Loughlin replied: “She’s right, you only need one of them.”
