As a young girl, Daphne was an actor in the fictional hit British sitcom Mind your Knickers. Her career ended at age 16 when she became too tall and busty to play her short, pre-teen character. During her youth, she gained considerable skill at billiards, claiming to have won many tournaments. Daphne then took up a career as a physical therapist, working one-on-one with various invalids and shut-ins until being hired by Frasier. Daphne is hired to assist Martin in daily activities, since Martin suffers pain and discomfort from a bullet that was shot into his hip years ago on the job. Daphne immediately catches the attention of Frasier's brother, Niles Crane. Not knowing of Niles' feelings for her, Daphne swings in and out of relationships, and eventually becomes engaged to Niles' divorce attorney, Donny. When Daphne learns from Frasier of Niles' deep love for her, she becomes worried because she is to be married to Donny the next day. When she confronts Niles about her own feelings towards him at her rehearsal dinner, she decides that she and he can never be. However, Daphne leaves Donny at the altar to finally be with Niles.

Personality

Like most characters on Frasier, Daphne has many eccentricities. She often tells rambling stories about her family, cheerfully remembering rather grim or traumatic events, to the considerable discomfort of the Crane family. She is also a firm believer in the supernatural, and believes herself to be "a bit psychic". Daphne's apparent psychic abilities are often treated with ambiguity on the show, and her various 'visions' are sometimes shown to have come true (albeit in a somewhat roundabout way). She once proclaimed a soon-to-occur visit from Lilith as a "great evil" and suffered from a migraine during her stay. When she first met Lilith and shook her hand, she claimed she lost all feeling in her arm. Look up Supernatural in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

Role on the series

Daphne's most significant developing relationship over the course of the series is with Frasier Crane's younger brother, Niles Crane. Unbeknownst to Daphne, Niles falls in love with her in the third episode, when they first meet; despite the increasing obviousness of Niles' infatuation, Daphne remains utterly oblivious to Niles' feelings towards her, though they become increasingly close friends. During this time, she embarks on numerous (frequently unsuccessful) relationships with other men, each one earning Niles' envy. Dr. Niles Winslow Crane (b. ...

Niles' feelings are ultimately, and accidentally, revealed by Frasier in Season 7. Shocked to discover Niles' true feelings towards her, Daphne finds herself falling in love with Niles in return, placing her in the position Niles had been in for many years - in love with someone unaware of her true feelings.

Heartbroken to discover that he had, on impulse, married his girlfriend Mel, Daphne intends to go ahead with her own marriage to Niles' divorce lawyer Donny, until Frasier intervenes. In a two-part episode closing Season 7 and opening Season 8, Niles finally confesses his feelings to her, and although initially rejecting him, Daphne eventually changes her mind, abandoning Donny at the altar. The guilt she suffers as a result, and the difficulties in Daphne and Niles' new relationship, cause Daphne to temporarily gain sixty pounds, which Niles does not notice. The weight problem was written into the show to allow Leeves to continue working while pregnant. During the episode "It Takes Two to Tangle" in which she did not appear while at the hospital, Niles tells Roz that Daphne had lost 9 pounds, 12 ounces - the weight of Leeves' baby.

In the first episode of Season 10, Daphne and Niles marry in a small, private ceremony in Reno, Nevada. In Season 11, they have their first child, David, in the final episode of the series, "Goodnight, Seattle". He is named after one of the show's producers who died on September 11, 2001.

Family

Daphne grew up in a very large dysfunctional family. They are often the subject of her long winded tales that sometimes leave the Cranes somewhat perplexed. Although frequently mentioned, the first time one of her family members appears on the show is in the season 7 episode "Dark Side of the Moon", in which Donny surprises Daphne with a visit from her brother, Simon (Anthony Lapaglia), not knowing that she dislikes him. In "Something Borrowed, Someone Blue" Daphne's mother makes her first appearance, while her father only makes his debut in Season 9.

Five out of Daphne's eight brothers have appeared on the show; unfortunately, few of them maintained consistency with Daphne's Manchester accent. LaPaglia, an Australian actor, badly faked a Cockney (London) accent, while Robbie Coltrane played Daphne's brother Michael with a muddled Brummy (Birmingham) accent. Most of the brothers are portrayed as lawless ne'erdowells and womanisers, except for Billy, who teaches ballroom dancing (implying he is gay).
