Not helping is that the apparent romantic tension between Frasier and Roz is so low it might as well be non-existent.

** Creator/LisaKudrow was originally cast as Roz, however after the first few days of rehearsal, the producers decided that her quirky humor didn't fit the part and they hired Peri Gilpin instead (according to Kudrow, Gilpin was their first choice, but Kudrow was cast on the strength of her audition, then order was restored by bringing Gilpin back). Plus, imagine how this would have affected ''Series/{{Friends}}'' (as well as ''Series/MadAboutYou'') if Kudrow had remained on ''Frasier''.

** The writers toyed back and forth as to whether Daphne would be Hispanic or English. Had they made her Hispanic, Rosie Perez was their top choice for the part, as she had been for their rejected series concept. They ultimately wrote the role as English in the pilot’s first draft, but Kelsey Grammer wasn’t happy about this. He feared Daphne being English would make the show too reminiscent of ''Series/NannyAndTheProfessor'', a series he didn’t care for at all. He changed his mind after reading with Jane Leeves, so Daphne remained English.

** Hester Crane had previously appeared on ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' played by Nancy Marchand. Rita Wilson took over the role for Hester's few appearances on this show. Somewhat justified as Wilson is playing a much younger version of Hester seen in home movies and as a hallucination in "Don Juan in Hell" (plus Marchand had passed away some time before "Don Juan in Hell" was shot.)

* HarpoDoesSomethingFunny: Kelsey Grammer didn't memorize his lines or rehearse with the cast (unless he was directing, in which case he'd be there to sort out the story and blocking), coming in on filming days and ad-libbing his lines to fit the gist of the storyline. He said that after playing Frasier for so long, he knew how the character would act and react better than anyone else.

*** An official crossover almost happened when Tony Shalhoub was brought on to guest star. Reportedly, the producers wanted Shalhoub to reprise his ''Wings'' character of Antonio, who Frasier would attempt to help, but Shalhoub rejected the idea and insisted on playing a new character instead.
