Alan Cornwall (Nicholas Lyndhurst) having a beer at the bar in Frasier (2023) Season 2 Episode 1
The Frasier reboot introduced Nicholas Lyndhurst’s Alan Cornwall as Dr. Crane’s long-time best friend – so where was he in the previous two shows? The new series sees Frasier returning to Boston for his third act after his father Martin has passed away. He hoped to reconnect with his estranged son Freddy, so he bought Freddy’s apartment building and moved into the apartment across the hall from his.
Alan Was Likely Teaching At Harvard During Both Cheers & Frasier It's Established That He's Been At Harvard For A Long Time It’s established that Alan has been teaching at Harvard for a long time – so long that he has tenure. Alan is shown to be disillusioned with teaching, but he’s so grandfathered in that the university can’t get rid of him.
It would certainly make sense that Alan was busy teaching at Harvard during Frasier’s original run, because the original show was set in Seattle. If Alan was tied to a demanding job in Boston, it would make sense that he never made it out to Seattle to visit his old college friend. It would make less sense if Alan was teaching at Harvard during Cheers’ Boston-set run.
Why Frasier's Reboot Introduced Alan When He Wasn't In Cheers Or Frasier Frasier Needed A Sidekick In Niles' Absence So, why did the Frasier reboot bother to introduce a character whose very existence creates a plot hole within the two previous shows? It’s because the writers needed to have that type of character for Frasier to play off.
