Fuller House may be over, but Dave Coulier still has his sights set on more stories featuring the Tanner family and all of their associates.
Next time, though, he hopes the whole cast will come back together (minus, of course, the late Bob Saget). There are no hard feelings against the Olsen twins, who played Michelle on the original sitcom and declined to return to the reboot that premiered in 2016, but still, Coulier dreams of a third iteration of the series, including Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, as he recently told Yahoo.
Someday, he'd like to see Fullest House come to life, where they can all "keep Bob alive and talk about him and his legacy stays intact."
"It could be like the Friends cast, but it's all of us as adults. We're away from any kids, you know, and we just kind of get back to being a family again," he continued.
The core cast got a little taste of that at Saget's memorial service, where they reunited with the Olsens. "It was so sweet to see them and just share some time with them, you know, because they were babies and little girls when we did the show," Coulier recalled.
Because of their young age on the series, he said they "have a different perspective of the show."
"I was an adult," Coulier explained. "But for them, imagine growing up, you know, on the Warner Brothers lot. I mean, we saw each other more than we saw our own family. So for them, I think there's a different perspective there."
He continued, "Me, I was looking at it as, I'm gonna go to work each day and do the best job for them. It was life, you know, because we were hanging out after the show, we would all hang out on weekends, or go to birthday parties, or celebrate things, have barbecues, pool parties. So, you know, speaking with them — they had a little bit of a different experience. I mean, imagine starting a TV show when you're only nine months old."
But if Hollywood ever comes calling for them again, he'll be waiting. "Like I said, I wouldn't take Fullest House off the table," he teased.
