John Stamosis not ready to leaveFull Housein the past.
The actor, who starred as Jesse Katsopolis on the family sitcom for eight years before reprising his role on Netflix’sFuller Housefor the past three years, recently opened up to E! News about the future of the beloved show.
“I don’t think it’s done,” hetold the outlet. “I think there’s a play that we go backward, like what happened before?”
The show followed Danny Tanner (Bob Saget), his brother-in-law Jesse, and his college best friend Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier) as they raise Danny’s three daughters — D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Michelle (Mary-KateandAshley Olsen) — together after his wife Pam dies.

Stamos said he was particularly interested in storylines that explore what life was like before Joey and Jesse moved in with widowed Danny and his girls, as the sitcom rarely ever spoke about Pam’s life or death.
“If you remember in the pilot of the show, my sister Pam dies, and that’s why it’s the three men raising the three girls, so I’d like to explore that,” he explained to the outlet. “The brother/sister, maybe go back. We’ll see.”
The actor first revealed his thoughts for a prequel spinoff earlier this weekwhile speaking toEntertainment Tonight.
“There’s a lot of energy,” he told the outlet of the show, which originally premiered on ABC in 1987. “I haven’t spoken about this at all… but there’s a lot of energy still with that show.”
The show’s nostalgia factor for many fans is also part of the reason why he felt the show had a future beyond its current Netflix run.
“There’s too much,” he added. “There’s too much happiness that that show has brought for a lot of people. So it’s not going to go down easy.”

ThoughFull Househas been a major part of Stamos’ life, the actor previously revealed to PEOPLE that there was a point in his career where hetried to distance himselffrom his role of the cool, Elvis-obsessed, rock musician uncle.
“For years I was really trying to distance myself from [Full House]. Then I realized, it ain’t going away, so I better embrace it,” he told PEOPLE in Dec. 2017. “It provided a really beautiful, great life for me and my family. My parents were at every show. I started [playing] with the Beach Boys.”
