I thought it was interesting to see Priscilla happy about the show when, in fact, she hated that period in her career. I don't think her reaction is fake, it seems genuine. Either that or she's still a very good actress :)

I was also surprised to hear that Stanley was originally called George. I didn't know that.

Maybe what the person who said that meant was that the character that Stanley was modeled after was called George in the English show that "Three's Company" was based on.

No, that's how Helen calls her husband in the video at 10m43s.

I see. That is very interesting.

You are both right. George Roper was the original landlord's name in the British Man About the House, and in the original pilot of Three's Company his name was carried over. I don't think we ever hear Mrs. Roper's first name in the unaired TC pilot but I'm guessing it was Mildred.
