STAR TREK NEW GENERATION.

MARINA SIRTIS, BETAZOID BEAUTY.

In the original draft of the script by Robert Hewitt, Alexander´s motivations for bringing Worf and Troi together on the Holodeck is to foment a romantic relationship between the Klingon and the Betazoid. "My only regret is that element of that show did not end up on screen",said Shankar. "Alexander wrote a Holodeck progran to get Worf and Troi to fall in love with each other and everybody was going to play a part in this program. Troi was supposed to be the saloon girl, and changes her part to become the gunslinger. That throws a monkeywrech into Alexander´s plan. This was a story element that was the emotional heart of the story and I don´t know what happened to it. I loved it and thought it was a great idea. It was sweet and funny. You can still see pieces of it. Alexander really gets upset when Troi wants to be the gunslinger. And there´s stuff at the end when the saloon girls jumps into Worf´s arms, and kisses him. That´s what Alexander had planned for Troi." Said Sirtis about the proposed romance between Worf and Troi:" I think Michael Dorn actually paid the writers to do that . I thought it was cute. I thought that it would set up something we might have difficulty with in the future, about the Counselor and Worf, which could present problems." Marina Sirtis is one of the great talents, and nobody really knew it. The more we give her, the more she seems capable of doing." Producer Michael Piller.
