Alice Doyle is a recurring character on Frasier, portrayed chiefly by Ashley Thomas.
Story[]
The only daughter of Roz Doyle, Alice is born May 1998, after Roz goes into labor at a party at Niles Crane’s apartment[1], where the pregnancy was also revealed. Alice is born as a result of a one-night stand with a 20-year old college student. Her father is only 20 when she is conceived, and rather than, as Roz thought of it, ruin his life, Roz decides to raise Alice herself and not burden him with the responsibility.
Alice refers to Niles, Martin and Frasier as her "uncles". She has a mildly adversarial relationship with Daphne's mother Gertrude, and a close relationship with Roz's onetime boyfriend, Roger.
