Paramount may be planning a shocker for the Enterprise season finale: a special guest appearance by former Next Generation stars Jonathan Frakes (William T. Riker) and Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi).

The news was first reported on the long-running official web site of Sirtis. "Marina and Jonathan Frakes will reprise their roles as guest stars on Enterprise season finale," the site's administrator wrote in an announcement posted on the message board of the site. The adminstrator then went on to announce several upcoming personal appearances by Sirtis, including one at the Superstar Autograph Show in Valley Forge, Pa, at the end of May.

TrekToday sources have confirmed that a deal between the studio and Sirtis is indeed currently in the works.

Both Frakes and Sirtis have previously made guest appearances on other Trek series besides The Next Generation. Frakes appeared as Lieutenant Thomas Riker on Deep Space Nine's "Defiant," and then appeared as the regular Riker in Voyager's "Death Wish." Sirtis had a recurring role during the final seasons of Star Trek: Voyager, often appearing together with Dwight Schultz (Reginald Barclay). The last time both Frakes and Sirtis made an appearance in the Trek universe was Star Trek: Nemesis, at the end of which their characters were married and preparing to embark on a new career aboard the U.S.S. Titan.

Enterprise showrunner Manny Coto recently revealed the series' season finale was being written by Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, but provided no information on the episode's storyline. The episode would presumably start filming in early March.

Please note that the above information has not been confirmed by Paramount Pictures or UPN and until such time you should treat this as you would any other rumour.

I expect them to play Riker and Troi. Its gonna be a Time Travel ep. Must be because its written by B&B and its the season finalie. Maybe we see the USS Titan or somthing

NO! Not another Time travel episode! when does the hurting stop?

It will NOT be another time traveling episode, from all the hints I've gotten about it so far, a very small part of it will be in "Titan" era, and the rest will be in Enterprise era, but there is no indication that any time traveling will be done at all. Don't jump to conclusions.

How will it not be a time travel ep, if they are both in it. I think they are too big of characters to play new ones on Enterprise. :|

What I heard, is that they will be playing themselves.......Titan is getting a delegation from Romulus.........The romulans show records from the Romulan war era as a sign of good faith. In essence, Will and Deanna will be watching an episode of Enterprise. No time travel involved.

That idea is for the new movie on Enterprise. Basically to get people kinda know whats going on. So they will know what the future Enterprise movie is about.
