So Fran has TWO look-alikes that exist in the show's world


There's Bobbi Fleckman and Fran Drescher (who Fran and Niles ran into in one of the last episodes). I find this very awkward. Bobbi and Fran D. are both famous people. I'm curious to how it's working with them looking alike and being in the spotlight, and then you have Fran Fine in the mix. How is she not being mistaken for either of these two on a day to day basis? Has anyone else thought about this?

reply

Nope and i don't think I want to, but either case Fran Drescher only appeared as her self once on the show and if I am remembering correctly that she reminded Frank and the viewers to tune in for the series finale.

Frank? You mean Fran? And are you insinuating Fran Drescher didn't technically exist up until the third to last episode of the show and just poofed into existence? Or may not even exist at all in this show's world and that whole moment was just a in-joke sequence that's not actually canon to the continuity or episode?

reply

There were also several others not played by Fran, including one who went out on a date with Maxwell, and another who showed up for the nanny position pretty much in the same outfit that Fran was wearing at the time. Fran was cool with the first one, but pretty much slammed the door on the second.

True, but this is just on those who look completely like Fran Fine, which would be Bobbi and Fran Frescher. Can you imagine there being two other "YOU'S" floating out there somewhere and they're BOTH famous?
