In Who circles, the mere mention of Daphne Ashbrook can send a chill down the spine of even the most hardened fans.

Dr Grace Hollaway was the love interest of half human movie Doctor Paul McGann and although never appearing on screen again, was one of many reasons some fans ignore the movie ever happened in the first place.

In Deep Space Nine, Daphne appeared as Melora in the episode of the same name.

Assigned to DS9, Melora began a relationship with station Doctor Julian Bashir (Ashbrook and Doctor love go hand-in-hand it seems) as he attempted to allow her to function in normal gravity due to her alien physiology.

After some intense treatment and an encounter which required using her gravitational ability to save herself and Jadzia Dax from criminals, Melora decided to forgo the treatment out of fear it may rob her of what makes her an Elaysian in the first place.
