Upon his return, the second season of the Frasier reboot dropped a surprising reveal about one of the characters from the original series. Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe reunited with Dr. Crane on his trip back to Seattle in Frasier season 2, episode 8. Their reunion surprisingly confirmed that Bulldog is actually gay. Played by actor Dan Butler, this former sports show host was infamous for his womanizing and for annoying Frasier and his peers, eventually becoming a main character in the series in season 6.
In the episode, Bulldog's sexuality is brought to light when Roz says, "someone finally came out of the closet." This prompted a moment of confusion, until it became clear that Roz was referring to a decision that Bulldog apparently made sometime after the original show's conclusion.

Not only does he get together with a former call-in patient named Lou, whose entire life has been poorly shaped by Frasier's advice, but he also reunites with an elderly radio station colleague.
While fans know what happened to Roz Doyle (Peri Gilpin), in "Thank You, Dr. Crane," we learn that Bulldog Briscoe (Dan Butler) has come out of the closet in the years since Frasier left Seattle.
