After Rossini's opera, for many years they were named Clorinda and Thisbe, now these names have fallen out of use and their names have changed to suit the fashions of the times. Often they are named after flowers, illnesses or celebrities. Notable ugly sisters have been played by Terry Scott and Julian Orchard (Theresa and Julia), Brian Murphy and Yootha Joyce (Georgina and Mildred after their sitcom characters "George and Mildred"), real life sisters, Elsie and Doris Waters (Gert and Daisy after their radio sitcom characters),
Three's a Crowd boss, Frank Angelino (Jordan Charney). James does not approve of Jack and he constantly tries to disrupt their relationship. Other characters included E.Z. Taylor (Alan Campbell), Jack's "surfer dude" assistant chef at his bistro and Claudia Bradford (Jessica Walter), Vicky's mother and James' ex-wife. "Three's Company" had been based on the sitcom "Man About the House", which aired on ITV in the United Kingdom from 1973 to 1976. When the series concluded in 1976, series producers Brian Cooke and Johnnie Mortimer devised two spin-offs of the series. The first spin-off was fashioned for actors Brian Murphy and Yootha Joyce who
