"Fuller House" Recasting 2 Key Roles

Two more shadows from D.J.’s past are returning for the second season of "Fuller House" — but don’t expect to recognize either of them.

The Netflix comedy is currently casting the roles of Nelson Burkhard (D.J.’s rich ex-boyfriend, originally played by Jason Marsden) and Kathy Santoni (D.J.’s high school frenemy, originally played by Anne Marie McEvoy), TVLine has learned exclusively.



Both characters will attend D.J.’s high school reunion, and you’ll be happy to learn that very little has changed for either of them; Nelson is still obnoxiously wealthy, constantly boasting about his yacht and three houses, while Kathy is every bit as bitchy and pregnant as we remember her.

(That’s right. Go back and watch Season 8.)

Too bad if the original actor and actress can't reprise their characters. I hate when that happens.

God bless you and them always!!!

Fuller House Season 2 has been coming together over at Netflix for some time, and the new episodes are expected to bring back some more familiar characters from the show's original run. However, a couple of those characters are going to be coming with changes, as Nelson Burkhard and Kathy Santoni will be played by different actors when the characters make the big return. Following a bit of an outcry, original actor Jason Marsden explained why he won't be playing Nelson Burkhard on Fuller House. His reason is a bit surprising, if I do say so myself: Yes, it's true I will not be reprising my role of Nelson on Fuller House... I just want to say, watch Fuller House, it's a great show.

Hal Sparks to Play D.J.'s Ex-Boyfriend Nelson in "Fuller House" Season 2

When D.J. reunites with her ex-boyfriend in "Fuller House‘s" upcoming second season, sparks will fly. Hal Sparks, that is.

Sparks, best known for starring in Showtime’s "Queer as Folk", will fill the role of walking bank account Nelson Burkhard, TVLine has learned. He’ll bump into D.J. at their high school reunion, where she’ll discover that he hasn’t changed one bit — well, except for his face.





Jason Marsden originally portrayed Nelson on "Full House", but as TVLine previously reported, the character was recast for Fuller House, along with the role of D.J.’s high school frenemy Kathy Santoni. In a series of videos posted to Twitter, Marsden explained that it was his decision not to revisit the role.

“The folks at Netflix, the producers, the casting directors and the writers of Fuller House all tried … to get me on the show,” he told his followers. “The decision was ultimately mine and mine alone.”
