I was going to leave a comment about Kellie on Lorerunner’s video about the reasons behind not using her character in Enterprise in later seasons. While I don’t see eye to eye on everything Lore views Trek and other fiction, I admire his research into the things he reviews. I am surprised he overlooked the fact that Cutler’s actress Kellie Waymire passed away of heart problems in 2003. She was an amazing actress with a lot of warmth to her roles. It was a real shame to lose a talented woman like her at her peak of acting at the age of 36.
Despite Cutler being mentioned in seasons 2 and 3, I think Waymire was a bit too busy to show up for season two before her death. Waymire played a major guest star on Six Feet Under. From what I can find, Berman and the writers wanted her back and had a good relationship with the actress. I think it was the right decision to not kill her off in season three given a lot of crew members on the ship get killed off. They could have and they had an opening, some might have had problems with it. (Think Princess Leia)
