During the production of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, it was intended for Star Trek: The Next Generation character Ro Laren to be assigned to the station. Indeed, it was the character of Ro who inspired the producers to set the new show near Bajor. When Michelle Forbes declined the role, her character was modified and became the basis for Kira Nerys.
Forbes was later approached to reprise the character of Ro on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but she declined because she did not want a regular television role at the time; Nana Visitor’s role of Kira Nerys was scripted as a replacement. Forbes was also offered the chance to return on Star Trek: Voyager, but again turned it down.
I won’t rule it out, but the circumstances would have to be exactly right. For starters, I’m thinking a three-way marriage involving Troi or Tasha. Or make it a four-way marriage! That would work too!
Agreed. She was an interesting, but underutilized character.
Also, this image is fucking with my head.
She was meant to be Kira Nerys but the actress didn’t want it.
That would have been interesting. I wonder why she turned it down.

Well, Visitor did a great job!
Should I have gone with Pooh Laren?

Y’all are just jealous you didn’t get wormholed into a false reality where you were married to Riker
