“DavidDavid Hyde Pierce (born April 3, 1959) is an American actor and director of stage, film and television. He starred as psychiatrist Dr. Niles Crane on the NBC sitcom Frasier from 1993 to 2004, and won four Primetime Emmy Awards and a Screen Actors Guild Award for the role.https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › David_Hyde_Pierce
Grammer said David Hyde Pierce opted out of returning as Frasier's brother. "David basically decided he wasn't really interested in repeating the performance of Niles," Grammer said. That's not a bad thing, he said.
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 rest of Season 10 and early Season 11 show Daphne and Niles adjusting to their new life as a wedded couple. Daphne and Niles have their first child, David, in the final episode of the series, "Goodnight, Seattle". (He is named after the show's co-creator David Angell who died in the September 11 attacks.)
Once Frasier ended, Hyde Pierce went on to have a successful career in theatre, and recently starred opposite Julia Childs in the critically acclaimed HBO Max series Julia.
In fact, all those stories have been happy ones. 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.
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.
By the end of the season, Roz gives birth to her new baby girl, whom she names Alice May Doyle. Late in the series, Roz finally manages to maintain a seemingly stable relationship with Roger, a garbageman.

Later in Cheers, Frasier marries Lilith Sternin (Bebe Neuwirth) and has a son, Frederick. After Cheers ended, the character moved to a spin-off series, Frasier, the span of his overall television appearances totaling twenty years.
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. He says, "Wish me luck," to Anne, then looks out of the plane window as the screen fades to black.
Rosalinda Doyle (born May 5 1963 or 1964) is a fictional character on the American television sitcom Frasier. Roz is the producer of Frasier Crane's Dr.
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.
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.
John Lithgow turned down the part of Frasier Crane in 'Cheers' when he was going through a “snobbish” phase.
One member of Frasier's cast received more fan mail than anyone else: Eddie the dog!
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.
There are ways for the reboot to work, like flipping Frasier's original premise, but the series finale ended everyone's story perfectly. Niles and Daphne started a family, Roz was promoted to KACL station manager, and Martin remarried.
In the series finale, Frasier was seen en route to Chicago, where he was hoping to make a new life with matchmaker Charlotte (Laura Linney). Grammer hinted that Frasier could still be living in the Windy City but was wary to reveal anything about his marital status.
After working hard on a network sitcom for a full decade, she needed some time off. She decided to take a break once Frasier wrapped so that she could stay home with the twins and enjoy being a mother.
In the end, Niles decides the proposal doesn't need all the bells and whistles—just the two of them (finally) together.
By the end of the show, Martin reacquaints himself with Ronee Lawrence, a woman who, as a teenager babysat Frasier and Niles. They become involved in a romance, which escalates into a marriage proposal. The ceremony takes place in the final episode of the series, establishing a new chapter in Martin's life.
- Frasier works out that the 20 year old waiter Rick is the father of Roz's baby: Roz: It's a little embarassing with him being seven years younger than I am - oh, put your eyebrows down!
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.
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.
Several months later, Lilith meets Frasier again and, with some help from Frasier's ex-fiancée, Diane Chambers (Shelley Long), they start a romantic relationship, eventually living together, marrying, and having a son, Frederick. In the final season of Cheers, Lilith has an affair with another man and leaves Frasier.
