Cast Biography

Nurse aboard the original U.S.S. Enterprise under Chief Medical Officer Leonard McCoy. Chapel gave up a promising career in bioresearch to sign aboard a starship in the hopes of finding her lost fiance, Dr. Roger Korby. Chapel found Korby on planet Exo III in 2266, but learned he had transferred his consciousness into an android body. Korby was destroyed by another android on that planet. Chapel admitted she was in love with Mr. Spock while under the influence of the Psi 2000 virus, although Spock did his best to ignore this. Following the return of the Enterprise to Earth in 2270, Chapel earned a medical degree, and later returned to the Enterprise as a staff physician. Chapel directed emergency operations at Starfleet Command when Earth was threatened in 2286 with ecological disaster by an alien space probe of unknown origin.
