makes frequent references to Grace being secretly attracted to her, and once considered marrying Martina Navratilova during the 1980s. During the original series, she has made advances towards multiple women, including one woman named Diane who seemed open to the idea. In the 10th season, she enters a lesbian relationship with a woman named Nikki (Samira Wiley), but ends it upon realizing that she is not really a lesbian, but is simply feeling lost. In the first episode of season 11, Karen mentions to Will that she considers herself pansexual, despite deciding that she was straight in the season 10 finale. After Will and Grace Walker's persona has appeared in advertisements for The Megan Mullally Show, which debuted in September 2006 and canceled in January 2007. In one of the advertisements, "Karen" asks Mullally to take her along, and in another, Karen tries to pass for Mullally at a meeting with studio executives until she is caught by Mullally and they begin to physically struggle with each other. Mullally once again donned a Walker persona in an episode of The Megan Mullally Show which featured Andy Dick. In September 2016, just over a decade after the Will & Grace series finale had first aired, Mullally appeared in a 10-minute Will & Grace webisode as Karen, alongside Eric McCormack (Will), Debra Messing (Grace), Sean Hayes (Jack), and Shelley Morrison (Rosario). In the webisode, Karen announces that she is going to vote for Donald Trump in the presidential election, much to the chagrin of the other characters. Karen: The Musical In 2009, Mullally announced that she was developing a Broadway musical entitled Karen: The Musical, which was to be the "return of Karen Walker". However, when the project was brought up during a 2013 interview, Mullally revealed that it had been abandoned after she lost the rights to the Karen Walker character.
