One of the original Frasier series’ most iconic visuals gets a disappointing update as a writer from the Emmy-winning sitcom reveals the truth about the Seattle apartment its central character called home.In an interview done with Metro UK before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, writer and producer Joe Keenan revealed the apartment Frasier Crane lived in throughout the show’s 11-year run doesn’t exist in reality. Frasier stayed at a flat in Elliot Bay Towers during the show, accompanied by a scenic backdrop of the Space Needle. However, Keenan confirmed the apartment isn’t legit. “The view [of the Seattle Space Needle] was the most luxurious. That apartment, without that view, would not seem that astonishing. That made it seem fabulous – and it doesn’t really exist. It was taken from a vantage point where there is not a building,” he said.Beyond the confirmation of the apartment not being real, Frasier rarely filmed in Seattle throughout its run despite the Emerald City being the crux of the main character’s story as it’s his hometown. In fact, the only episode that was shot in Seattle was its 100th, which aired in 1997. Frasier saw the eponymous radio psychiatrist return to Seattle after spending much of his life in Boston during Cheers. There, Frasier and his family could be seen roaming the apartment with the clear view of the Space Needle, while bits like his KACL radio show, the constant rain and love for coffee all reflected real-life traits of Seattle. Ahead of the upcoming Frasier reboot, a rare behind-the-scenes video touring the apartment featuring star Kelsey Grammer was released to further drum up interest.RELATED: Frasier Revival Synopsis Teases the Fate of the Cheers Bar, Reveals New Details
