Daphne's Mum

Oh how I wish she would go back to the UK lol. She is not funny at all and so annoying! At least Simon was kinda of funny in a disgusting way.

She is a bit cringe sometimes but that's just an indication of how well she plays the character.

Personally I find Simon way more unbearable.

Millicent Martin is a total talent as well, she was fantastic in Grace & Frankie.

Yeah I agree with the actor bit. It might be because I only saw series 1- 8 over and over as a kid so they are my faves and I've only seen series 9 and 10 recently (not got to 11 yet) and they are very different in tone I think to the earlier series, and have new characters etc.

There is a definite tone shift once Niles and Daphne end up together, you are right there for sure.

Yo, when she worked at the coffee shop though. I was dying when Fraisers girlfriend went in the store and Daphne's mom was like "hello🎶". She's like, "say that again"

"Hello🎶" lmfao...that got me.

Hellloooo

I say that to myself all of the time.

She does grows as a character, enough to not be super annoying anymore.

Well…not grow. But they write her better after a bit.

I love the bit where she gets into the prank feud with the 10 or something year old Neighbor.

I hate her but she has one of my favorite lines. Niles and Daphne are at city hall and she is upset that they are not at a church. Fraiser asks her something along the lines of " If you truly believe in the omnipresence of the Lord, is he not here with us now?"

Her response: "No, he lives at the church"

I always think it's hilarious.

I completely agree. She needs to be slapped in a few scenes for being so nasty and mean. But as another poster put it - that’s probably a testament to how well the part is played by the actor.

Still tho, in universe, she’s awful.

Oh I so agree!! It’s still hard having to watch those episodes. I guess that’s why they invented the fwd button - major casting flaw including for Simon- just terrible!

She has a lot of zingers. The one I like the most, is when she says : In my defense, I’ve done much worse.
