'Get them out!' John Stamos admits he tried to have the Olsen twins FIRED from Full House

John Stamos didn't always like the Olsen twins when he worked on Full House, and he is not ashamed to admit it.

The 51-year-old actor admitted as much while speaking to reporters of the Television Critics Association in Beverly Hills, California on Thursday.

His admission came a week after a clip from Lifetime's upcoming The Unauthorized Full House Story showed the Uncle Jesse character requesting new babies after poopy diapers ruined a shot.

Unashamed: On Thursday, John Stamos told reporters that he had indeed requested that the Olsen twins be removed from Full House early in the series

'It's sort of true that the Olsen twins cried a lot,' John replied after being asked about the scene from the behind-the-scenes TV movie, which had been released on July 29.

'It was very difficult to get the shot,' he added, saying that his reaction was 'Get them out!' when neither of the girls seemed ready for the spotlight.

Unfortunately for John and the other adult members of the cast, replacement babies did not help the situation.

Impetus: The question came up in response to a clip from the upcoming Lifetime movie, The Unauthorized Full House Story
Stinky: In the clip - released on July 29 - filming had to stop when the toddler playing young Michelle Tanner had an accident during the scene
'Get them out!': John admitted to the Television Critics Association that he did indeed suggest a change in kids when they could not get filming done

'They brought in a couple of unattractive redheaded kids. We tried that for a while, and that didn't work,' explained John, who was at the press event to promote his upcoming FOX comedy, Grandfathered.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, now 29, were then brought back to Full House, soon becoming the sitcom's breakout stars.

Tears: 'The Olsen twins cried a lot,' John explained of his desire to replace the girls
No replacement: Unfortunately for that plan, the new twins were even worse - allowing Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (above) to return
Breakout stars: The Olsens eventually became the biggest stars to come out of Full House and later presided over a pre-teen entertainment empire

The twins shared the role of Michelle Tanner - the youngest daughter of the show's family - during Full House's original 1987 through 1995 run.

When the sitcom ended, the Mary-Kate and Ashley went on to even greater fame in a series of movies marketed toward pre-teen audiences - their final movie was New York Minute in 2004.

Both of the twins eventually left acting, however, and are the only original Full House cast members not signed-on to return in Netflix's upcoming reboot series, Fuller House.

New careers: Mary-Kate and Ashley (above in June) left acting during their teen years and have more recently been involved with fashion design
Reboot: While the Olsens are not a part of it, John is the executive producer of an upcoming reboot of Full House called Fuller House
Keeping busy: John will also star in a new comedy, Grandfathered, airing this fall on FOX

'The Olsen twins are teetering whether or not they’ll be around,' Netflix's Ted Sarandos told the TCA on July 28.

'There's a bunch of opportunity for them if they choose to. But they're not in the current creative.'

John, meanwhile, will not only act in Fuller House but is also one of the reboot's executive producers.

All better: Nothing John said indicated that he had a problem with the Olsen twins later in Full House's original 1987-1995 run

He revealed on Thursday that the cast of the new show had shot two episodes already - Fuller House is expected to air on Netflix starting in 2016.

Lifetime will beat Fuller House in getting its version of the beloved comedy on-the-air, with The Unauthorized Full House Story scheduled for August 22.

The cast and crew of Minority Report, The Grinder, Empire and Scream Queens were among other attendees at TCA panels that day.

Reboot: (L-R) Laura Regan, Nick Zano, Wilmer Valderrama, Meagan Good, Stark Sands, and executive producer Max Borenstein were at the panel to plug Minority Report
Coming soon: There for The Grinder were (L-R) Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Fred Savage, Rob Lowe and Andrew Mogel
