Season 3B of Fuller House left us with some pretty big cliffhangers. How rude!
Thankfully, Netflix didn’t leave us hanging — they’ve decided to bring back the rowdy Tanner-Fuller’s for a fourth season.
While there is no official premiere date, the network announced the series would return “later this year.”
Before we ride off into the sunset doing the Gibbler Gallop (and sparkle!) — yes, we learned the whole routine — we’ve compiled a list of storylines we need the writers to address in the upcoming season.
Is Stephanie Having Triplets?
In the final moments of season 3B, it’s revealed that Kimmy is carrying Stephanie’s baby. Back in the 90s, this would have been less of a miracle and more of a nightmare, but Kimmy and Steph have a come a long way since then, even forming a sisterly bond. The fact that Kimmy would do something so selfless for Steph and her brother, Jimmy, really speaks to her character. Still, I cannot imagine the insanity that the Fuller-Tanner-Gibbler household will have to endure with a pregnant Kimmy! Especially if she really is pregnant with triplets. The Netflix show hinted at the possibility when Stephanie’s doctors told her she had three viable embryos from her IVF treatments. If all three were implanted, Kimmy could very well give birth to triplets probably by the end of season 4. Let’s remember, this is a show that loves to get full…er! Babies would also secure a fifth season since fans would need to see Steph finally become a mother after thinking it was never going to happen for her!
Do We Hear Wedding Bells?
There’s nothing more feel-good than a wedding, especially Fuller-House style. Or should I say Gibbler-style? Kimmy would go ALL OUT for Steph and Jimmy if they decided to get hitched. Obviously, having a baby together doesn’t necessarily mean they have to get married but given how family-oriented they are, I’m not ruling it out!
What’s the Deal with D.J. & Steve?
The fact that Steve landed a job with the Lakers is almost comical. Then, you find out he’s going to be the team’s podiatrist and it starts to make sense… in a Fuller House-kind-of-way. (I will never get over that scene of him geeking out over Lonzo Ball’s feet.) Anyways, D.J. shot herself in the foot (pun intended) when she encouraged Steve to take the job. She even accepted it on his behalf leaving fans confused about the state of their relationship! The high-school sweethearts were finally going to date again after all these years and now that’s been put on pause, again. Have they settled for long-distance? Will D.J. move to LA? That’s highly unlikely considering her whole family is moving back to San Fran. Will she give up and rekindle her romance with Matt?
What Happens to Matt Harmon?
Hopefully, he isn’t hanging out in beach attire anymore. Matt was heartbroken when D.J. decided to break things off with him and go back to her high-school ex, Steve. It strained the bromance and also, Matt’s work-relationship with D.J. Last we heard, he decided to break up Harmon-Fuller Pet Care by opening up a competing veterinary clinic a few blocks away. I get that working in such close proximity with your ex isn’t exactly ideal, but I don’t see two clinics so close to each other flourishing… especially in San Fran. Will Matt find a way to get over it? Will he decide to leave town? I’m not ready to see less of him just because D.J. chose the “other guy.” Throw the “Team Matt” fans a bone here!
Are Max and Rose Together?
Sometimes, adults don’t realize how their actions directly affect the little ones. In this case, Max’s relationship with Rose. When Steve decided to call off the wedding at the altar, C.J. blamed D.J. aka “the other woman.” Unfortunately, her daughter Rose and D.J.’s son, Max, are two kids in love. In the final episode of season 3B, C.J allowed Rose to attends the 80s party at the Smash club, until her Xanax wore off and she regretted her decision. With the two moms at odds, Max and Rose are the modern-day versions of Romeo and Juliet. Is their relationship doomed? Will they be forced to see other people? Or will the moms suck it up for their children’s happiness?
Does Danny Find a New Job?
Being replaced by Mario Lopez is something every anchor fears in 2018… except for Ryan Seacrest. Now that Danny has been let go from his longtime gig as TV show host, what’s next for the patriarch? He declared that he was moving back to San Fran in the final episode of season 3B, but what will he do there? Will he pursue his dream of being a maid? Will he find a new TV gig? Will he move back into his house?
Are All the “Dads” Really Moving Back?
All three dads back in San Fran? Have mercy, that really is a FULL HOUSE! Where will Danny, Joey and Jesse live? And does that mean we’ll be seeing a lot more of them in the upcoming season?
Is the ‘Smash Club’ Back To Its Former Glory?
In the final episode of 3B, Joey and Jesse found themselves jobless. They decided to purchase the former “Smash Club,” which had since become a laundromat. (That didn’t stop them from holding the 30th dadiversary celebration there. Major nostalgia points!) When the series returns, have they restored it to its former glory? Is it still the “it” place to be or has the world changed too much for something called the Smash Club to survive and thrive? For the old-turned-new venture to be lucrative, they actually need a clientele outside of the family.
Is Jesse Bringing Back The Rippers?
The Rippers returned briefly for the 30th dadiversary party, but was that the end for Jesse’s former band? Or will the resurgence of the Smash Club revive the band once again? Would they have the same appeal? Would Jesse go on tour? Is that a storyline we care to pursue in 2018?
How is Rebecca’s New Gig Going?
Danny Tanner may have been left behind by the TV network, but Rebecca was given a chance to reinvent herself with a brand new talk show, The Gab! How is that going? Is she a woman of the people? Is she the next Oprah? Is she making enough money for Jesse to continue being a stay-at-home dad/uncle?
Where Will Joey & His Terrible Kids Live?
The weirdest, most unbelievable storyline continues to be Joey and his terrible kids. I just don’t see Joey actually being a father. But, it is what it is and now, everyone has to deal with the four little monsters. Hey, even he admitted that they are a pain! Hopefully, they aren’t moving into the Fuller-Tanner household. I know the show loves to see how many people the can cram into the San Fran home but really, there is no more room! With Joey in town, does that mean we’ll see more scenes with the kiddos? Cut. It. Out!
Are Vicky and Danny Dating Again?
Much of Fuller House’s success comes from living in the past. Fans originally complained that there weren’t enough original characters in the spin-off so, at the end of season 3B, the series brought back Danny’s most notable love interest Vicky! While the episode doesn’t reveal what Vicky has been up to since leaving New York or why she’s back in San Fran, it does acknowledge that she’s happy to see Danny and is able to slip right back into the family dynamic. That has to mean something! Since Vicky brings the nostalgia, we’re almost certain she’ll stick around. Will these two lovebirds finally get the ending they deserve? I know I’m alone when I say she was always Danny’s soulmate!
Are Jackson and Rocki Still “Friends Who Occasionally Make Out”?
Most people simply call that “friends with benefits,” but that’s little too risque for the family-friendly show. Still, I love that both of D.J.’s sons are dating girls whose mothers she has some beef with. For a kind-hearted girl, she really does have a lot of enemies! Rocki is Gia’s daughter, and if you were a fan of the original series, you would remember Gia as Steph’s bestie and the one D.J always thought was a bad influence on her baby sister. Rocki’s hardcore exterior softens whenever she’s around the Fuller-Tanner’s, so I hope she continues playing a major role. And by that I mean I hope her and Jackson stop hiding their true feelings for each other!
BONUS: Will Mary-Kate and/or Ashley Olsen Make an Appearance?
Seriously, stop holding out on the potential greatness that is Michelle Tanner’s return. I don’t care if Michelle is busy in New York with fashion empire, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s refusal to guest-star is simply-put, “rude.” Even if they aren’t feeling it, do it for the fans. One episode is all we’re asking for — it doesn’t even have to be a full episode. And it only has to be one of the twins, whichever one is feeling more nostalgic! However, considering the cast themselves have given up, I doubt they’ll ever get either of them to make an appearance, which is all types of unfortunate and upsetting.
