Looking this up apparently... quote:Coincidentally, a 1997 episode of Frasier titled "Odd Man Out" of season 4 episode 24 (an episode which Angell co-wrote) features a woman's voice, Linda Hamilton, on Dr. Frasier Crane's answering machine stating she will arrive into Sea-Tac Airport, though she does not actually say Sea-Tac airport, on American Airlines' Flight 11. The episode was first broadcast on May 27, 1997: 4 years and 3 months later, Angell and his wife perished aboard that same flight. Eerily, in the same episode a couple getting engaged in the same restaurant in which Frasier is dining alone, the man says to his fiancée that if they ever should die he hopes that it's at the same time so they wouldn't have to be apart. Niles and Daphne's son was named after David. Also, Anthony Perkins' widow was also on American Airlines Flight 11.

Wait she's totally awful for the 30 seconds she shows up in Daphne's wedding, they give her literal hours of screen time?

I liked* how Daphne's family who were stated to be from Manchester UK (a city with its own distinct regional accent) all had accents that spanned the breadth and width of the British Isles (*I didn't actually like this)

Hard to tell if it was her acting or the fact that every line of dialog written for her could've been replaced with a sign around her neck saying "CONTROLLING, DISAPPROVING MOTHER STEREOTYPE"

It was the writing. EVerything about Daphne's family dragged the rest of the show down. They were all unlikable, poorly conceived, badly written, and unfunny. Except her dad. The two episodes he was in he was funny.

No her rear end in a top hat brother was a breath of fresh air from the stuffiness of the rest of the cast and he was funny.

I wasn't wild about her as a character, but man you guys really, really didn't like her. I figured they brought her in since with Niles and Daphne finally together, those characters needed a source of antagonism or strife, given that their relationship would have been in a honeymoon phase and provided little compelling storytelling. I'm not exactly sure where I heard this, I think it was the "behind the scenes" stuff they did in the half-hour leading up to the series finale, that they had people write into the show all eleven years asking where to get Frasier's front door.

It's a good front door. The only thing that could improve it would be an antique door knocker.

I don't think they even tried to give a reason why all of her family had different accents in the show. It was probably the producers going "welp as long as it sounds British, that's all that matters" and calling it a day. As a filthy Yank who's spent time in the UK, I found it mildly irritating when I was watching the show. It'd be like if a British sitcom had an American character who was from Boston and all their relatives had Southern USA, Stereotypical Chicagoan, and L.A. Surfer Dude accents.

Robbie Coltrane is also Scottish, Anthony LaPaglia was from Australia, and IIRC, Richard E. Grant was from South Africa.Sydney Bottocks posted:It'd be like if a British sitcom had an American character who was from Boston and all their relatives had Southern USA, Stereotypical Chicagoan, and L.A.

It's extremely common for actors to accidentally do a Boston accent when they're told "New Yorkers don't pronounce their R's"

Back in the pre-Internet days, the guy producing 1980s DW tried to appeal to the USA so hard, they not only had a British actress adopt an American accent, but they made up a whole backstory about how she was actually American. Of course the minute she spoke and said things like "ad-dult" and "leave-er" people figured out she was a Brit pretty quickly.

I've listened to some of the Audio Plays that came out before the revival, and I can't remember if she'd gotten better or not, but it's still obviously a fake accent. Also, still find it hilarious that it's Peri in a Frasier thread. Was there ever a Doctor Who character named Roz?
