Off-spring of Niles and Daphne

[Pat]

In the episode where Niles is having heart surgery, Niles claims that hospitals must have memories. As they pass rooms in the hospital, each room seems to have a flashback of when they were in the hospital as children, etc. The final room they pass in this episode, Daphne is in a hospital bed holding her new-born. Niles is holding a little girl and says, "Say hello to your baby sister."

Now, with that said, at the end of the series, Daphne has a baby boy - they call him David. (Writer's wanted to have the baby named after a creative writer for Frasier that died in the twin towers on 911). It was a very nice honor for him, and I am glad that they were able to do that. But to me, it off-set the show a little.

Any comments?

yes David, the son of Niles & Daphne, who, yes, was named after the writer was David Angell, who sadly, like so many other good people on board Flight 11 on September 11th, 2001. I thought it was sweet they named the baby after David Angell. God bless all those we lost that september day (from Alan Jackson's Where Were You) & God Bless our troops & America!

They do this often on shows, but in this case, with the death of David Angell, I think they thought it was more important to honour him than worry about consistency.

And technically, it could still be accurate. Niles and Daphne may have had a son first, then a girl and then a 2nd girl for the third baby. By that time, the son (first born) could have been with a sitter (let's hope NOT anyone in Daphne's family tho)!! lol (who knows - maybe even Frederick was baby sitting him by then)
