Fans like Daphne the least

One fan, u/pinkcloudbunny, took to Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/vuj443/curious_to_know_among_fans_who_is_the_least/) to post a poll asking fellow fans to pick their least favorite of the main characters of "Frasier." The poll received 525 total votes and pointed to a clear winner of who is the least liked: Daphne, with 251 votes. The next least-liked is Roz, who received 106 votes, followed by Frasier with 96 votes. That leaves Niles and Martin as the two fan-favorite characters, but they still received some votes — Martin received 48 and Niles got 24. Notably, quite a few fans posted in the comments that they refused to vote on the poll, as they love all five of the main characters.

Many fans who voted for Daphne noted that they found her to become less likable as the show progressed. One fan, u/kiwipatra (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/vuj443/comment/ife9776/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), revealed that they liked her the most around Seasons 3 and 4, but that they think her character went downhill from there. Another fan, u/kquinn00 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/vuj443/comment/iffbpyo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), explained, "I only voted for Daphne because she changed so much over the seasons, loved her in Season 1 and by 7 she really got rather annoying." Adding on to that, u/AnthonyK_ (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/vuj443/comment/ifejq0v/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) stated that they think Daphne started to become annoying after she and Niles finally got together (at the end of Season 7). On a more generous note, u/iustitia21 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/vuj443/comment/iffn1a2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) wrote, "Unfortunate because I think [Daphne] was handed the short end of the script."

However, there were still a few Daphne defenders in the comments. One fan, u/Zealousideal-Tie1474 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/vuj443/comment/ifil11m/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), declared that Daphne is their favorite and that they don't understand why other fans dislike her in later seasons. Another user (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/vuj443/comment/ifemufw/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) pointed out that "Daphne is the glue that holds the other [characters] together."

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Wow... such thought provoking insight into this topic.




I hated how Daphne only fell for Niles once she became aware of his crush on her. For years, she never had any romantic interest in Niles. She was also pretty crappy to Donnie. Niles was a douche too. He married Mel and dumped her the instant he learned Daphne was willing to go for him. They both became very sucky characters IMO.

Right? I hardly know where to start!!

Agreed. These 2 scenarios felt very contrived. I don't think real life would be like that.

The only characters I disliked are Frasier's co-workers Gil and Noel.

Both those guys were so icky!
