[2] According to Scooby-Doo: Behind the Scenes, Daphne wanted to be both a supermodel and a detective even as a child (the latter of which disappointed her parents).

She sometimes serves as the damsel in distress and would occasionally get kidnapped, tied up, and then left imprisoned.

In the episode, "The Scary Sky Skeleton", Daphne is reunited with her old friend, Wendy.

When the vampiress is revealed to be Lefty Callahan, Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy realize they made a mistake in suspecting Daphne.

When the original Mystery Inc. group took a hiatus from the franchise in the 1980s, Daphne was initially absent too, with the series focusing on the comedy antics of Scooby, Shaggy, and Scrappy.

She continued to help Scooby battle evil forces of the supernatural in the 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo series.

In the film Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, Daphne had a very successful investigative TV series called Coast to Coast with Daphne Blake on a fictional channel called "Americana", which the show had aired on for two seasons.

and the Witch's Ghost, and Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase, she wears a purple and green three-piece suit with matching shoes.

Unlike the previous incarnation of the character, Gellar's version of Daphne is trained in martial arts during Mystery Inc.'s 2-year-long departure in the first film, as she is tired of being a damsel in distress on every case that she is involved in with the gang.

Coincidentally, this subversion of the damsel in distress to a strong female fighter almost mirrors Gellar's widely recognized role of the title character in the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

In Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, Daphne develops a kooky personality and performs multiple hobbies such as doing hand puppets, beards, sleepovers, or vampires.

On February 10, 2021, it was announced that an adult-oriented Scooby-Doo streaming television series, Velma, would be released to HBO Max, following the various members of Mystery Inc. involved in a "love quadrangle",[20][21][22][23] with Daphne portrayed as a foundling adopted by two mothers, with "complicated feelings" for Velma.
