This subject came up during the interview with Jane Merrow during
the recent Fanderson convention. Specifically, there was talk
during the production of bringing the Jo Fraser chracter back in
subsequent episodes, but for some reason it never happened.

As for Jane not hitting it off with Sylvia, Jane said that Sylvia
was initially unhappy with Jane's acting. Sylvia thought she
was "saving her acting for the close-ups", although Jane denied
that she was doing this. However, as filming progressed,
Sylvia seemed happier with Jane's work, and it sounds like any
initial conflict was resolved.

In my opinion, I think Sylvia was right -- Jane's acting did
seem a bit wooden to me at times. Although the same criticism
could be made about many of the actors on UFO... :-)
