Charles Shaughnessy's children didn't like him kissing Fran Drescher on 'The Nanny'

Charles Shaughnessy's two daughters, 31-year-old Jenny and 26-year-old Maddy, weren't very old when The Nanny was wrapping up its six-season run on CBS (1993-99), but they were old enough to know they didn't like what they saw from their father's character, Maxwell Sheffield.

"I came home one day, and Maddy was very upset," Shaughnessy told People for its newest issue. "She had seen the show that night and said, 'Daddy, don't kiss the girl.' She wasn't very keen on all the Fran and Maxwell chemistry."

The Nanny was co-created by Fran Drescher, who also starred as the titular nanny Fran Fine. She earned two Primetime Emmy nominations for her work on the show.

Seeing as we're living in the age of rebooted nostalgia, Shaughnessy, now 66, added that he'd be open to a revival Nanny series:

"It would be a lot of fun. It's hard because people see The Nanny now, it's 30 years old, so we're all different. I'm a lot older. She's a lot older. The kids are a lot older. You see that and you kind of want to recreate that, but it's un-recreatable. The train has left the station. We're down the tracks awhile. You can't really recreate that magic. You can create something else using some of the elements, but it's not going to be what it was originally. I have questions about reboots, in general, but if someone comes up with it and offers me to revisit Maxwell Sheffield, I'd be delighted."

Drescher more recently co-created and starred in TV Land sitcom Happily Divorced, which aired for two seasons from 2011-13 before cancellation.

Shaughnessy, meanwhile, has returned to his daytime soap opera roots with a role in Peacock's Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem.
