Talks took place for Taj Mowry to reprise his Full House character
Taj Mowry dished on his absence from "Fuller House" in an interview with Hollywood Life (https://hollywoodlife.com/2021/05/31/tahj-mowry-fuller-house-teddy-interview/). The star – who's the brother of another set of famous twins, Tia Mowry-Hardrict and Tamera Mowry-Housley – confirmed he "ran into" the show's Executive Producer, Jeff Franklin who asked him if he'd like to be involved. He replied, "Yeah of course!"
But things didn't exactly work out, namely because Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen wouldn't revive their character (https://www.nickiswift.com/58425/never-hear-olsen-twins-anymore/). "It would've been weird and random if Teddy's best friend isn't on the show and he just shows up at the door," he admitted, noting it would have been too "forced" to have him back. "It wouldn't have worked as well as it could if the twins were on the show."
As longtime fans of the original series will remember, the actor was just a kid when he played Teddy, one of Michelle Tanner's friends. He had a recurring role from 1991 until 1995 and appeared in 14 episodes of the popular sitcom (via IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005254/)).
But just because a return didn't happen, that doesn't mean there's any bad blood. Mowry admitted he still "enjoyed watching it from afar" and felt "good" about the fact "people were missing Teddy."
Sadly, Mowry may never get chance to revive the character now as "Fuller House" was cancelled in 2019. But, hey, this is Hollywood, so there's always chance of a reboot of a reboot, right?
