Kelsey Grammer doesn’t have any plans for any of the Cheers characters to pop up in the new Frasier sitcom. However, the actor who plays Dr. Frasier Crane does think that Diane Chambers, played by Shelley Long, deserves some closure.

And that actually defined who he is and he’s been that way ever since. He just goes in wholeheartedly with everything — and that’s what makes him funny.”
Grammer’s Frasier character was introduced in Season 3 of Cheers as a love interest to Long’s Diane, who had been linked with Ted Danson’s Sam Malone. Long reprised her role on the original Frasier making several appearances as part of dream sequences. In Season 3 of the spinoff, Long appeared in the episode titled “The Show Where Diane Comes Back.”

“The original concept was that [Frasier] had to get all the way across the country because we just wanted to get away from Boston to start the new show,” he continued. “But that was just a
