I never really cared fr her character, but the other characters in the show did care deeply for her. From the beginning, I disliked the whole Dax symbiot thing where she was 300-some years old or whatever...
Anyway, Ezri was absolutely horrible. She was a bad addition to the cast and a horrible way for the writers to fill the void left by Jadzia.
So why did Terry choose to leave?

shareHer original six year contract was up. She always intended to do DS9 for six years then move on. I think it was basically a carrer move, nothing to do with any bad feelings towards the producers or the cast of DS9. The show was coming to an end and she had the opportunity to move on and do Becker with more years of work guaranteed. If I was in her shoes I think i would have done the same thing, thinking of my carrer. But still would have preferred Jadzia in the final season...
shareNo kidding. She was twice as hot without the annoying I know everything smugness that Jadzia had.
shareDid she have a character? All I could hear was a sort of high pitched squeal whenever she was on screen. Goddamn Mary-Sues.

The problems with my leaving were with Rick Berman. In my opinion, he’s just very misogynistic. He’d comment on your bra size not being voluptuous. His secretary had a 36C or something like that, and he would say something about “Well, you’re just, like, flat. Look at Christine over there. She has the perfect breasts right there.” That’s the kind of conversation he would have in front of you. I had to have fittings for Dax to have larger breasts. I think it was double-D or something. I went to see a woman who fits bras for women who need mastectomies; I had to have that fitting. And then I had to go into his office. Michael Piller didn’t care about those things, so he wasn’t there when you were having all of these crazy fittings with Rick Berman criticizing your hair or how big your breasts were or weren’t. That stuff was so intense, especially the first couple of years.share
I started modeling when I was seventeen, so I was used to comments like that, but it was a different experience for me to be around normal, respectful people. And then he’s my boss.
According to Farrell, when her Deep Space Nine contract was expiring following the end of season six, she requested that she appear in fewer episodes, noting the sheer number of regular and recurring characters featured on the show, which would allow her to work fewer hours.
Basically he was trying to bully me into saying yes. He was convinced that my cards were going to fold and I was going to sign up. He had [another] producer come up to me and say, “If you weren’t here, you know you’d be working at Kmart.” I was, like, “What the hell are you talking about? I had a career before this. Why the hell would I be working at Kmart? Who are you?” Just to be jerky, he’d call me in my trailer: “Have you been thinking about it yet? Are you going to sign?” Like, right before I had a scene.
