This is a question our experts keep getting from time to time. Now, we have got the complete detailed explanation and answer for everyone, who is interested!
Unlike many other series where characters pregnancies were written in to accommodate the actress becoming pregnant in real life, this was not the case with Roz. Hers was purely a storyline invention, Peri Gilpin was not pregnant in real life.
In season 8 the actress got pregnant and it was simply written into the show as a weight gain. Eventually, the character goes to a weight loss spa and returns having lost 9 pounds, 12 ounces — the actual weight of Leeves’ baby in real life.
The Niles role was specially made for David Hyde Pierce
David Hyde Pierce played the role of Nile Crane, who was Frasier’s younger brother who was also a psychiatrist. Originally, there wasn’t a plan to give Frasier a brother, but when the producers saw the startling resemblance of Kelsey and David Hyde Pierce, they dug up some tapes of Pierce playing in an older sitcom. The producers quickly created the new role of Niles Crane and arranged a meeting with Pierce to offer him the role.
1 Most of the Cheers cast made appearances on the show
As mentioned above, the writers of Frasier did not want the show to become a stage in which the Cheers cast can come and go whenever they please. But still, most of them were written into the show to make guest appearances. Lilith visited the most because she was Frasier’s ex and Frederick’s mom. Diane, Sam and Woody also went to Seattle for different reasons. There was this one episode in season 9 when everyone was together again, when the Cranes went to Boston for a business trip.
