When Fran's ex husband Peter becomes involved in a car accident with Joan Collins, he ends up been hired as her assistant! However when he becomes ill, it's Fran who jumps in to help out... Who is assisting who?

Joan appeared in three episodes of this popular TV Land series as herself and she much enjoyed the experience as she liked Fran Drescher after they worked together, when she guested on Fran's previous hit sitcom 'The Nanny'. Although Joan played herself on 'Happily Divorced', they decided to make the screen persona a bit more like Alexis

Joan commented...

'' She is a strong, glamorous woman with a very good sense of humour who is quite independent, quite rich and likes to get her own way! They had to exaggerate all the things I normally do. Flamboyant hand gestures, exaggerated line readings. Everything just a little big bigger. ''

Joan with Fran and John Michael Higgins

'Happily Divorced' was created by Fran Drescher and her ex huband Peter Marc Jacobson and was based on their eighteen year marriage, as Peter came out as gay and to this day they are the best of friends. On the series Fran plays a florist in Los Angeles who has to cope with the fact her husband comes out as gay , even though they divorce, they cant afford to live seperate lives..Apart from Joan, other guest stars included Robert Wagner, Florence Henderson and Morgan Fairchild...

There does not seem to be a dvd release of Season 2 available at present on dvd, you can buy a German release, but I was told there was problems accessing the English soundtrack, so I wont add it here...
