- As has been stated before, Ms. Forbes declined to do DSN because
- she didn't want to be tied down to a long-term contract. She *is*still*
- doing TNG; her arrangement is somewhat like that for Whoopi Goldberg,
- in that she does not appear (and thus does not have to work at Paramount)
- on a regular basis. Ro is an *occasional* character.
