Hey all, does anyone know what Sabrina Lloyd's reaction (if any) to how her character was written out?
Also, what motivated her to return to voice her character in Wade's final episode?
New here and thanks.
Here's her reaction to Season 4's storyline for Wade:

As far as I can tell, Sabrina was not motivated to return, period, and set her asking price way too high when invited to guest star, knowing she'd be refused. Cleavant asked her to return and she agreed to one day of voiceover as a personal favour.
I don't think Sabrina had any real grudge against Jerry or Cleavant, who in Season 3 had about as much power over the show's writing as Tracy Torme (none whatsoever).
Oddly, Wade's fate in "Requiem" was more Bill Dial and Keith Damron, who were the ones who rewrote Michael Reaves' original script into what it was. Peckinpah, while approving stories, wasn't as engaged with SLIDERS in Season 5 as he'd been for Seasons 3 - 4 and it was mostly Dial who made the decisions.
]]>Didn't she come back for Requiem as a favor to Cleavant?
If true, that's interesting.
I wouldn't blame her for holding a grudge against Jerry & Cleavant for not fighting for her to stay and/or change the direction of the show away from whatever Peckinpah was aiming for.
Sabrina basically threw Peckinpah an opportunity to get himself out of the predicament he wrote himself into and, somehow, he just made it worse.

I think at this point, we're all historians here.
While I'm still here, does anyone have a copy of Brad Linaweaver's "Sliders: The Classic Episodes" handy? Mine's in storage (whoops!) and I need a scan of the Tormé interview in there.
Sorry, I was AWOL for a few months. I scanned and transcribed the interview section of the book earlier this year.

]]>I thought that Paul Jackson quote came from Matt having some conversations with Jackson which Matt elected to put into various entries of the episode guides rather than writing up a full interview.
That's definitely what that appears to be.
If I can get confirmation on that (or... a full transcript (wishing upon a star)), I can just cite that for the book.
"What ever became of Logan St. Clair? According to the September 1996 TV Guide Fall Preview, Logan was definitely created to be a recurring character/villain. Yet she never appeared in another episode of the series."
and B) where this interview with Paul Jackson came from:
“Fox killed Logan because they didn’t think she was ‘hot’ enough,” says writer Paul Jackson. “Another smart network move, yes? She was a great character and we had just started to think about her return (obviously she was coming back!) when they told us to forget it.
“We had foreseen as many as two more eps with her: one where she returns and confronts Quinn head on and one where she actually changes her loyalties and dies trying to save ‘herself’ (Quinn). Sadly, it was never meant to be.”
thank y'all once again in advance.
P.S. lmao this line:
"For the record, the staff at Earth Prime all think Zoe is hot."
