I heard that Jeri Ryan's Seven of Nine character was only given reasonably good character development because Kate Mulgrew threatened to walk otherwise. Seven was originally there for pure factor and the promotional material at the time for the show was exactly that.
All the other shows Berman was involved with were filled with conflict between him and the creative talent so I 100% believe that happened. Almost everything good in star trek was a battle the creative labor fought for and won against the producer (or snuck behind their back and did anyway). Thankfully Berman was a moron and lost constantly.
That really did suck. I didn't mind the person who replaced them, and they made the best of the situation, but that was real shitty. He did the exact same thing to the person playing kes around the same time too.

I'm still pissed about how he was creeping on
and got her character killed off and replaced because she wouldn't do sexual favors for him.
