Fuller House season 5 part 1 ignored Michelle (played alternately by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) for the most part, until Danny (Bob Saget) made a subtle ominous line toward the end of the outing, hinting at the youngest Tanner sister's fate. While the fan-favorite character has yet to appear in the Netfix's sequel spin-off, it's curious if it's a set-up for what lies ahead for Michelle in the show.

Prior to Fuller House's premiere, and even months after its first season dropped on Netflix, there had been a lot of rumors regarding whether or not the Olsen twins will appear. Conflicting reports came out about their involvement, with Ashley supposedly not having any intentions of returning in front of the camera. Mary-Kate apparently briefly considered the gig, but decided to pass on it. Fuller House immediately gave an explanation for Michelle's absence - apparently, she's too busy running her fashion empire in New York (mirroring the twins' current real-life job with brands like The Row and Elizabeth & James). At first, Fuller House sold the idea, but after more than four seasons and several family affairs, it just doesn't make sense that that the baby of the family couldn't take the time off for her clan.
