Because Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen didn't return as Michelle in Fuller House, Netflix needed to find a replacement for the youngest Tanner. As DJ's childhood best friend and the family's neighbor, Kimmy naturally fit the role. Given her complicated relationship with her ex-husband, Fernando, it made it easier for Kimmy to move into the Tanner family home to help DJ raise her sons. However, this also put her in proximity to her childhood arch-nemesis, Stephanie, who was moving back home to help out her sister as well.
The Fuller House series finale saw the triple wedding of DJ, Stephanie, and Kimmy to Steve, Jimmy, and Fernando. The festivities gave the Tanners something to celebrate, with the event also functioning as a reunion for the clan's relatives and friends. It was only after the occasion was done the next morning that Stephanie revealed the good news: she was pregnant.
