In an early form of the script, she was supposed to be killed off in the pilot film, with the reptiloid Ovions almost cannibalizing her. However, the character was saved, and she was cast in a regular part in the following weekly series, but “Standards and Practices” (network censors) compelled her to change careers. (Because the censors wouldn’t let her be a socialator any longer, Glen Larson and Donald P. Bellisario recast her as a medtech in the series, beginning with “Lost Planet of the Gods, Parts 1& 2″).
