her personaltiy is the worse change out of all of them followed by roz, who also becomes way to serious and loses her "slutty" (in a goiod way) charm
of course she had a kid, but still. i say i lost more love for roz as the series went on but yeah daphne is very unlikable in the last few seasons and adorable in the first few.

Seasons 6 and 7 were great, but in marrying Niles and Daphne, a huge source of the shows comedic appeal was roached. They should have ended it, when she ditched Donnie, by having them ride off from the church and the series ending.

The main issue i'd have had with your preference is that the show was called Frasier, not the Niles And Daphne Show. Niles and Daphne were a great subplot, but old Kelsey was playing the character i was most interested in. It had to end only when they'd finished telling his story.

She gets boring, arrogant, snooty, talks down to people, looses all her own interest and exchanges them for Niles' and becomes unlovable and unbelievable (of course she would never be a believable character in the real world, but the cover-up of JL's pregnancy is completely silly - there ARE pregnancy clothes that don't look like a tent...). Other says that Daphne matures and her accent had to change after living in America for so long - but practically over night?! Series 8 to 10 are not the best ones, but the quality steps up again in series 11. Daphne, however, remains irritating. I watched the murder plot involving Maris recently and the behaviour of Daphne was downright appalling, pregancy moods or not.
But, sadly, Niles also changes. DHP's fantstic facial comedy (is that even a word? ) for example is also gone. He barely moves his eyes or frowns, smiles or laughs anymore. There are exceptions of course, that is the general feel I got after season 7.
