Star Trek: Voyager’s Male Stars Had One Big Problem With The Doctor
By WITNEY SEIBOLD
The Doctor was an Emergency Medical Hologram, only meant to be activated in an extreme crisis. However, when the Voyager was stranded 70 years from home, the EMH wasn’t shut off.
The Doctor (Robert Picardo) began to develop a personality and emotions, essentially coming to life. Eventually, he had hobbies, friends, and even love interests.
Picardo said some of his co-stars were jealous that the hologram — not even a human character — got multiple love interests and kissing scenes when they hadn't received any.
