In contrast to the close relationship their characters end up forging, Kate Mulgrew and Jeri Ryan did not get along personally. Mulgrew resented Ryan for usurping her leading role on the show, while Ryan found that resentment created uncomfortable working conditions. Jeri Ryan has stated that she would become sick with anxiety at the thought of performing scenes with Kate Mulgrew. Most cast members have affirmed that their working relationship was quite strained during the first years of their cooperation. Mulgrew later admitted that she wanted to de-sexualize Star Trek in general and her Janeway character in particular (e.g. resisting attempts to have her engage in a relationship with a male crew member), so she disapproved when an obviously sexualized character like Seven was made the new center of attention. Mulgrew did later comment that Ryan "did a marvelous job in a very difficult role".
