Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are the only main members of Full House that have decided not to return to the upcoming Netflix reboot, Fuller House.
And on Saturday People revealed that the series features a small joke at their expense, explaining that their character Michelle Tanner is absent from the family reunion because she's busy running her fashion empire in New York.
However, John Stamos (Jesse Katsopolis) was quick to clarify that the joke was all in good fun and 'not meant to be a diss.'

All in good fun: John Stamos clarified that a joke in the first episode of Fuller House explaining the Olsen twins' absence is 'not meant to be a diss'
Scheduling conflicts: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (pictured at the CFDA Fashion Awards in June) were too busy with fashion labels The Row and Elizabeth and James to star in the series
'It was my idea,' the 52-year-old star revealed of the joke at the Fox All-Star Party in Pasadena, California, which hinted at the twins' work with their fashion lines The Row and Elizabeth and James.
The designers - now 29 - portrayed the youngest daughter of Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) on the series from 1987 to 1995.
The stars had previously discussed the series with executive producer Bob Boyett, who told People that production conflicted with their schedules.
The prospect of acting also made Ashley uncomfortable since she had not been in front of a camera since she was 17.
Boyett shared: 'Mary-Kate said, 'It would have to be me because Ash doesn't want to do it. But the timing is so bad for us.''
Despite their absence, John said the rest of the cast has had fun reuniting and working on the new project, especially with the freedom that Netflix provides.

'You know, I wanted to put a couple of dots in [the first episode], an homage, kind of,' the Grandfathered actor shared.
He continued: 'The beauty of that show is that there was so much of it and it was so much fun and on Netflix we could turn it in, it was 33 minutes or something. We didn’t have to keep it at 22. It was sweet. I think people will like it.'
And though it has been difficult working on the reboot with fans' high expectations, John shared: 'I hope people like it.'
Fuller House debuts on Netflix on February 26.
