Hana Hatae talks about catching up with Colm Meaney
Hana Hatae played Mollie O’Brien on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and her story of how she caught up with Colm Meaney who played her father Miles is adorable.
ICYMI: Here are four ways CBS can win over Trekkies for Star Trek Discovery.
Molly O’Brien was the adorable daughter of Miles and Keiko O’Brien on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. That was seventeen years ago though, and the actress who played Molly O’Brien is all grown up.
Hana Hatae was at the Las Vegas Star Trek Convention yesterday when she told an adorable anecdote about catching up with Colm Meaney, who played her father on DS9.

Ha! That’s just fantastic, it’s always so much fun to see the Star Trek cast members interacting and reuniting at conventions.
As for Hana she’s been busy herself. Hana is appearing as Molly O’Brien in the Star Trek fan film Renegades alongside other Trek alums like Aaron Eisenberg and Tim Russ.

So the story of Molly O’Brien continues, though not strictly in cannon.
The Las Vegas Star Trek convention has been full of fun moments so far from Whoopi Goldberg’s first convention appearance to this internet gold courtesy of LeVar Burton:
