'Will & Grace' first debuted back in 1998 and gave us the iconic duo, Grace Adler and Karen Walker, played by the talented Debra Messing and Megan Mullally. While the two had a love-hate relationship on-screen at times, it seems as if things took a major turn during the show's revival in 2017. After ending for the first time back in 2007, the cast of 'Will & Grace' was without a doubt closer than ever, however, after NBC's announcement regarding the show's reunion in 2017, it appears as if Debra and Megan haven't been the same.
The show ran for an additional 3 seasons but officially came to an end this year. Although the network claims it was time to say goodbye, fans believe the cancellation came about due to issues between the two actresses. Here's everything there is to know about whether or not Debra Messing and Megan Mullally are friends or frenemies!
Are Grace & Karen Friends IRL?
'Will & Grace' is easily one of the best television sitcoms to have ever come out of the 90s! After debuting in 1998, viewers were introduced to Will, Grace, Jack, and Karen, and the rest is history. While fans were saddened over the shows end in 2007, they were elated when NBC revealed that our favorite four characters would be returning in 2017. The 'Will & Grace' gang always appeared to have gotten along well, both on-screen and off, however, after the show's cancellation this past year, fans are now wondering whether things went awry between Debra Messing and Megan Mullally, lead the network to officially pull the plug.
While NBC has yet to confirm whether the feud between Debra and Megan is the reason behind the show's cancellation, they have certainly commented on the allegations over their differences, calling them "falsely exaggerated". Although NBC attempted to put the rumors to rest, fans aren't budging and are convinced that the two actresses' issues got the best of everyone. This is all began last year when Megan posted a photo of the cast, tagging everyone but Debra Messing.
Only a few weeks later, fans noticed that the duo had both unfollowed one another on all social media accounts, further pushing everyone's paranoia that the two were, in fact, fighting. When the final season wrapped, Megan Mullally posted a since-deleted photo onto her Instagram on August 13, saying: "One of the best feelings is finally losing your attachment to somebody who isn't good for you", she wrote. Fans immediately assumed she was referencing her friendship with Debra, leading Mullally to take down the post.
Although all signs were pointing to the duo being in a feud, 'Will & Grace', lead star, Eric McCormack, who played Will, claimed that there is nothing to be worried about. McCormack made it clear that "the four of us get along like a house on fire, we always have", he said. While he tried to put the rumors to rest, fans are certain that something happened, and it seems as if this is a hill they will remain on!
