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.
Jane Leeves' pregnancy
The baby that Niles and Daphne have at the end of the show is not a result of a real life pregnancy of Jane Leeves, the actress who plays Daphne. However, she was pregnant earlier in the show. In season 8 the actress got pregnant and it was simply written into the show as a weight gain.
Daphne Sported An Actual Baby Bump
So much so that she put on weight and even sported a bulging tummy for the majority of Season 8. In real life, Jane Leeves was pregnant at the time, and Daphne getting fat was written into the show to explain her baby bump.
While filming for Frasier, Jane fell pregnant with their first child. Co-star Peri Gilpin then became godmother to their daughter, Isabella, who has followed her mother's footsteps and gone into acting. Soon after they welcomed a son, who has David Hyde Pierce and the late John Mahoney as godfathers.
Alice May Doyle (played by Ashley Thomas, 2002–2004) is the daughter of Roz Doyle. She first appears as a newborn in the fifth season episode "Life of the Party", and by the end of the series has become a child of six.
The cast of Frasier were notably close. Grammer calls Pierce the brother he never had. Along with the late John Mahoney, who played their dad, Martin, Pierce is godfather to Leeves's son.
John Lithgow turned down the part of Frasier Crane in 'Cheers' when he was going through a “snobbish” phase.
NEW YORK - First, the bad news: Mercedes Ruehl has, for the moment, filmed her last guest shot on "Frasier," alas. "It might be fun to go back and do one or two at some point, because I enjoyed it so much," said Ruehl.
He was replaced by his similar-looking son Enzo for the final four seasons of Frasier; Enzo was 7 years old at the time he took over.

One member of Frasier's cast received more fan mail than anyone else: Eddie the dog!
It would have to be something fine but extremely drinkable with an amber burnish. I can now reveal what they were actually drinking. . . it's Harvey's Bristol Cream. In Season 6 episode 9 Frasier decants a distinctive blue bottle. No wonder he decanted it.
The actor also revealed that he plays several musical instruments, but "none of them well." The piano, though, is his best instrument: "It's contemplative for me. It's an avocation, rather than anything I make a living out of," he told Charlotte Green.
Maris makes only two onscreen "appearances": once in the episode "Voyage of the Damned" when her shadow is seen through a shower curtain (she is spoken to but makes no reply), and again in "Rooms with a View", where she appears in Niles' memory, almost completely covered by bandages after surgery.
But Grammer notes that Eddie was already recast during the show's run -- Moose played him from 1993 to 2000 before his son Enzo took over until the show ended in 2004.
“Moose and Enzo hated each other,” says series co-creator Peter Casey. “They couldn't be on set together,” the showrunner remembers. “Apparently, it was one of those classic parent-child Hollywood rivalries.” And, while John Mahoney's character was super close to Moose's Eddie, the duo were not so close off-camera.
Frasier finishes his story just as the plane lands, giving viewers a surprise: Frasier was landing in Chicago, where Charlotte had moved, and not to San Francisco.
In "The Girl in the Plastic Bubble" (1992), Lilith leaves Frasier, with him contemplating suicide until she promises to him that the marriage can be saved, to live with Pascal in Pascal's experimental underground eco-pod.

Maris Crane is Niles Crane's wife for much of the series, though she is never fully seen onscreen (much like Norm Peterson's wife, Vera, on Cheers). She is the most notable of the show's never-seen characters, and often the subject of many jokes. Her family is not revealed on the series.
