Jason Alexander's character George was originally meant to get engaged to Siena in season 6 of Seinfeld, rather than Susan in season 7.

This article argues that Susan was the perfect choice for George's failed engagement, and that having two failed engagements would have lessened the impact of the show's most brutal gag.
