Bebe Glazer is Back
A new video from the live taping of Frasier Reboot season 2 gives fans a sneak peek at Harriet Sansom Harris' return as the beloved Bebe Glazer. While the first ten episodes of the reboot didn't feature many references or cameos from the characters' past in Seattle, season 2 is bringing in some familiar faces. Following the announcement of Dan Butler and Edward Hibbert returning as Bulldog Briscoe and Gil Chesterton, news came out that Frasier Crane's eccentric agent would also be making an appearance in Boston.
A video posted by Jess Salguiero on Instagram shows Harris as Bebe with the cast during filming. The picture shows Sansom standing next to Anders Keith, who plays Niles and Daphne's grown-up son, David. It's unclear what episode Kelsey Grammer and the rest of the cast were filming when the video was taken, as it was during the final cast call.
Why Bebe's Return is Exciting
Bebe had a lot of interactions with people at KACL during Frasier's early years in the radio industry. In addition to Bulldog and Gil, Peri Gilpin is also set to reprise her role as Roz Doyle in Season 2, having appeared in the season 1 finale. Confirmed table read images show all three of them appearing together in one episode, which is currently untitled but directed by Grammer himself.
While it's disappointing that Bebe's return seems separate from the KACL reunion episode, it's understandable. Bebe is a dynamic character, and her antics could easily fill an entire episode. It would be a disservice to her character to just add her to the KACL special. This separate episode allows the Frasier Reboot to explore Bebe's cameo in a more creative way.
Bebe's Potential Storyline
It's hard to predict what to expect from Bebe's cameo in Season 2, given her unpredictable personality. However, assuming she's still an agent, she could try to convince Frasier to sign with her again, especially after his successful stint as the host of Dr. Crane in Chicago. Whether this leads to a long-term storyline remains uncertain, but it gives the revival a fresh way to explore the character instead of simply forcing Frasier to be a Harvard professor.
The Frasier reboot season 2 is shaping up to be full of surprises, with many exciting cameos and storylines. Bebe's return is sure to be a highlight, adding a dose of chaos and humor to the show. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how her presence will impact the dynamics of the characters in Boston.
