#Fred from scooby doo series#
This is emphasized in many of the direct-to-video films and the TV series Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. Throughout the various incarnations of the character, there has been speculation that Daphne and Fred had an attraction toward each other. In the film Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, Daphne had a very successful investigative TV series called Coast to Coast with Daphne Blake on a fictional channel called "Americana", which the show had aired on for two seasons. She continued to help Scooby battle evil forces of the supernatural in the 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo series.

However, when the "Whodunnit?" aspect returned to the series with The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show (later retitled The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries), Daphne returned, now an accomplished investigator assisted by Shaggy and the two dogs, investigating supernatural occurrences.

group took a hiatus from the franchise in the 1980s, Daphne was initially absent too, with the series focusing on the comedy antics of Scooby, Shaggy, and Scrappy. When the vampiress is revealed to be Lefty Callahan, Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy realize they made a mistake in suspecting Daphne and she is feeling well again. Due to the vampiress’s look, Daphne's unseen reflection in the mirror, the bat flying around Daphne's bed and herself returning to bed a little later, Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy are convinced that Daphne is a vampiress. In the episode, "I Left My Neck in San Francisco", Daphne becomes sick and she's unable to help the gang to solve the mystery about The Lady Vampiress of the Bay. In the episode, "The Scary Sky Skeleton", Daphne is reunited with her old friend, Wendy. On the sailboat, the snake demon attacks Daphne and demands an idol to return. In the episode, "Shiver and Shake, That Demon's a Snake", Daphne buys an idol which is cursed by a snake demon. But as the franchise went on, she became a stronger, more independent character who could take care of herself.ĭuring the series' fourth incarnation, Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, some of the episodes focused on Daphne. She sometimes serves as the damsel in distress and would occasionally get kidnapped, tied up, and then left imprisoned. In the first series, Daphne was portrayed as the beautiful, enthusiastic, and eager to help, but occasionally clumsy and danger-prone member of the gang (hence her nickname, "Danger-prone Daphne") who follows her intuition. Together with her other teenage companions, Fred Jones, Velma Dinkley, Shaggy Rogers, and Shaggy's Great Dane, Scooby-Doo, Daphne would engage in solving various mysteries. Her father gave her and her friends the seed money to start off and, prior to buying the Mystery Machine, Daphne's parents gave her gas money to drive them to where there were mysteries to be solved. Her aspirations had an effect on her personal life as she was late for dates whenever she went on mysteries with the gang she and Fred deny the rumors that they are dating. Īccording to Scooby-Doo: Behind the Scenes, Daphne wanted to be both a supermodel and a detective even as a child (the latter of which disappointed her parents). The Daphne character was inspired by the sophisticated teen character Thalia Menninger, as played by Tuesday Weld, from the late 1950s and early 1960s American sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.
