Interview  |  Virginia Hey
Why Zhaan went

Picture Virginia tells us why she left the show, and what the future held for Zhaan.

The reason I left Farscape was for nothing except I was as sick as a dog and the make-up made me so damn ill. I kept going, but I just couldn�t do it any more - but it wasn�t because I didn�t adore Zhaan. I said to the producers, "I still want to do it, I�d be happy to do six episodes a season, but I can�t do any more than that because it just makes me too b***** sick." They said "Uh, well we don�t know how," because they�d already written Zhaan into the whole of the third season, so I really threw a spanner in the works.

Through the fourth they were trying to figure out what to do with me, but they said yes, they wanted to. Zhaan wasn�t gone. I was sworn to secrecy. I was doing conventions and it was really hard. People were asking me whether Zhaan was dead and I couldn�t tell them.

So, was Zhaan dead or not?

Er, we don�t know. I still can�t really tell you, because you never know. But if ever Farscape is completely dead, gone and buried then I�ll tell you.
