Star Trek: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Seven Of Nine

10. Susan Gibney Was Turned Down For The Part

Susan Gibney is best known to Star Trek fans for one of two roles - Dr. Leah Brahms, one of the original designers of the Enterprise-D, and complicated love interest of Geordi LaForge. She is also recognisable as Captain Erica Benteen of the USS Lakota, from Deep Space Nine.

She also auditioned for the part of Captain Janeway, receiving a screen test after Genevieve Bujold left the role. Though she would lose out on the part to Kate Mulgrew, with Gibney deemed too young to lead a show, she was invited back to audition for the part of Seven. Unfortunately, her youth once again went against her.

Though she has only appeared on-screen in four episodes of Star Trek to date, her character may yet see a return in Star Trek: Picard. She is said to be working at the Daystrom Institute, the workplace of Dr. Agnes Juratti. In at least one possible future, LaForge had married Dr. Brahms, so depending on which timeline the show exists in, there is still an outside chance of Gibney returning to the show - alongside Jeri Ryan's Seven as well.
