Three-Way Romance To Be Featured in 'Frasier' Finale
5 September 2003 (StudioBriefing)
Apparently hoping to reignite dwindling audience interest in Frasier in its final season, the producers have cast Wendie Malick, who played the beauty and fashion editor Nina Van Horn on Just Shoot Me, in the role of a woman who becomes the love interest of both Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) and his father (John Mahoney). According to next week's issue of TV Guide, Malick's character had once been Frasier and Niles's childhood baby-sitter. "It ultimately becomes a competition between [father and son]," exec producer Joe Keenan told the magazine. "It's classic Frasier."
