Charles Shaughnessy is spilling just a few The Nanny secrets.

The 66-year-old actor spoke with Entertainment Tonight about the fan favorite show, which is now streaming on HBO Max, and revealed that Fran Drescher has some ideas on how to reboot the series.

“We’ve talked about it, and she actually had a really, really, I thought, genius idea,” Charles shared. “I just thought, ‘This was very smart.’ That’s all I’ll say.”

He added that he’s “very hesitant about anything” involving a reboot of the series. “[But] I heard that and went, ‘Oh, that’ll work.’”

Charles did open up about what led to the end of The Nanny in the first place and that was giving fans what they really wanted – Fran and Maxwell together.

“The fans wanted us to get together. The network definitely wanted us to get married, [but] we knew that that was kind of a death knell,” he shared. “When you’ve got a relationship built on this sexual tension, getting married is like the last thing you want to do…so, I think we kind of we did it but were like, ‘Oh well.’”

After the series debuted on HBO Max, fans were shocked to find out that this actor starred on it!

The Nanny is now streaming on HBO Max and people are discovering that James Marsden was in the pilot episode!

In his first job back in 1993, the actor played a waiter who was working at Mr. Sheffield’s party and he ends up kissing Maggie at the end of the night.

James‘ character Eddie also shows up in the second episode when he takes Maggie on a date, which Fran has to chaperone.

Back then, James was using the stage name “Jimmy Marsden” and he’s credited as a guest star with this name.

“Guys James Marsden is in the pilot of The Nanny, credited as JIMMY MARSDEN, why aren’t we all talking about this,” one fan tweeted. See what more people are saying below!

The Nanny is getting a lot of attention this week after the full series was added to HBO Max!

Fran Drescher has previously announced that a Broadway musical based on the TV show is in the works and now she has revealed that she already has an actress in mind for the lead role.

In an interview with Marie Claire, Fran said that the musical will be “much bigger than the TV show” and she envisions Mr. Sheffield’s staff having a feather-duster dance number.

Though Fran wants to make sure the show can “stand on its own” without her starring in it, she’s considering playing the nanny’s mother Sylvia Fine in the show.

This is not a drill – The Nanny will finally be available for streaming!

HBO Max announced on Tuesday (March 23) that the beloved ’90s sitcom starring Fran Drescher will be available for streaming on their site starting on Thursday, April 1.

This is the first time The Nanny will be available for streaming on any site.

If you didn’t know, The Nanny ran on CBS for six seasons from 1993 to 1999 and followed Fran as the uber stylish nanny to rich widower Maxwell Sheffield’s (Charles Shaughnessy) three kids.

The show also starred Daniel Davis, Lauren Lane, Nicholle Tom, Benjamin Salisbury, Madeline Zima, Renee Taylor, Alex Sternin, Ann Hampton Callaway, DeeDee Rescher, Rachel Chagall and Jonathan Penner.

It was also announced last year that Fran Drescher and Rachel Bloom are teaming up to turn The Nanny into a Broadway musical! Get the scoop here.

Fran Drescher is opening up about the virtual table reading for the pilot episode of The Nanny, which debuted today (April 6) on YouTube.

Talking with EW, the 62-year-old actress shared that the table read was a gift to the show’s amazing fans.

“We are doing this completely for the fans that have supported the show for all these decades. We thought, what better gift than to get together virtually from our living room to yours?”

She adds that “No one got paid for it [and] it’s been a blessing and kept us all busy and active. We feel like we’re accomplishing something and are very excited to deliver this present. It made us feel so good to see each other. If the fans get even a fraction of the uplifting experience we had, it will be worth it.”

Fran also shared that the table read was pre-recorded a week ago.

“We didn’t want to do it live-live. We thought some other things that were done that way with other groups didn’t have reliable sound,” she says. “We didn’t want it to be a frustrating experience, if we had a sound glitch we did a take two.”

Fran reunited with Charles Shaughnessy, Daniel Davis, Lauren Lane, Nicholle Tom, Benjamin Salisbury, Madeline Zima, Renee Taylor, Alex Sternin, Ann Hampton Callaway, DeeDee Rescher, Rachel Chagall and Jonathan Penner for the table read.

She added, “It’s a once in a lifetime Pandemic Performance for our fans around the world who are currently stressing in isolation and could use a real upper! It sure has given each of us a lift and we hope it does for you as well.”
