Cheer’s fans were happy to see the cast reunite during the Emmys. But many fans felt it wasn’t the same without her. Shelley Long’s Diane Chambers character was essential to the Cheers charm that kept fans returning each week. Woody Harrelson was also noticeably missing from the Cheers reunion.
Kelsey Grammar Wants the Star To Do a Spot On Fraiser
Fraiser star Kelsey Grammer was happy to see the old Cheers gang together again. He also mentions that he wants Shelley Long to join him on the Fraiser reboot at Paramount +. Grammer feels that Shelley needs to return as Diane Chambers to tie up some loose ends and give the fans and the TV couple the proper closure they deserve.
Neither Shelley Long nor her reps explained why the actress didn’t attend the Cheers ceremony. Her last film role was in 2021 in “The Cleaner.” As for the possibility of Shelley Long’s return to television, it is unlikely, as she looks pretty content with her life outside the public eye, according to The Sun. So, fans will not get that Diane Chambers and Fraiser reunion anytime soon.
