When news broke that the hand of godNetflix had swooped down to revive Full House for a new and presumably bingeworthy original series, nostalgia-addled hearts across the globe nearly collapsed in on themselves with excitement. Uncle Jesse himself, John Stamos, promptly confirmed to Jimmy Kimmel that Fuller House would be dropping on Netflix sometime in 2016 without offering much in the way of additional details.

The cast, however, quickly started to come together. Danny Tanner? CheckAunt Becky? Check. D.J. Tanner? Check. The Olsen twins? Probably not. Definitely not, according to Aunt Becky herself. In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Lori Loughlin delivered the bad news, even though it probably didn't need much delivering:

Although there have been reports suggesting the Olsen twins would likely not reprise their joint role as Michelle Tanner in the Fuller House spinoff, actress Lori Loughlin (Becky Katsopolis) confirmed to The Huffington Post that the season is "wrapped and they didn't come in."

Cool. What about a cameo, even in possible future seasons?

Loughlin told HuffPost that a cameo for any future episodes could be unlikely as well, saying, "No, I don't think they're going to make a cameo. They didn't this season."

If this news kind of hurts your nostalgia buzz, don't fret. Nickelodeonjust announced plans for a Hey Arnold! TV movie that will finally reveal the whereabouts of Arnold's parents. Also, our guy Arnold? He looks like this now.
