Lt. George Primmin didn't replace O'Brien - he was someone Starfleet wanted to send to DS9, because they didn't trust the 'Changeling'. Sentiments that would AGAIN arise with the arrival of Eddington.
As to Lt. Janeway in TNG's "Man of the People" I think... It couldn't be Kathryn, too young and too soon before Voyager. BUT! Kathryn Janeway did have a younger sister... who knows.

According to the character bios that come with the "Starship Creator" CD, Taurik and Vorik are supposed to be twins. An interesting rationalization, to say the least...

If Taurik and Vorik are twins, then why not mention it at all for this long?

For the same reason the EMH went in to ridiculous lengths to squeeze in references to Dr McCoy every now and then?
I like the twins idea, and expect to be hearing more of Vorik (however that is spelled) and Carey and other "semi-regulars" (Nicoletti? Ayala, definitely. Are the Delaneys alive?) before the series ends. There's bound to be some sort of a nostalgy trip before the season is over, and reusing these minor characters is a natural thing to do in a nostalgy ep.

Primmin didn't replace O'Brien, as much as he replaced Colm Meaney. The Actor was off shooting a movie, and Primmin filled in by reading all O'Brien's lines.

And not even for the all of Meaney's absense, either. Colm was gone for three or four episodes, I think, and Primmen only appeared in two ...

I think they explained his absence by a trip to Earth didn't they? I remember noticing that he wasn't around.

Either that, or Jerry Bruckenheimer had him beamed out in his sleep, to partake in a fantasy game where he, as a Federal agent for the US government, must sit in the background and watch as someone called John Cusack tracks down a maniac that's hi-jacked a plane full of convicts.

Ahhhhh! OK, so THAT was when Con Air was filmed...
...should of stuck with DS9
plus it would have saved us that TERRIBLE Primmin character.

It wasn't Con Air. Colm filmed that during DS9's hiatus. Besides, Con Air was released in '97, and Colm's absence from DS9 aired in '93. He might've been filming Snapper ...

Unlikely. He had arguably the most significant role in The Snapper - it was less about his daughter's pregnancy than it was about the effect on the head of the family, ie him. Doubt he'd fit in a role like that in only a month or so.

Depends on how quickly they shot it. Snapper fits into the time-period, but there are other candidates. I remember (vaguely) reading an interview where Colm said he had to fly to Europe to film the movie he was missing DS9 for, but I don't recall the title.

I thought it was "The Englishman who Went Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain". I got bored with it before I got done reading the title so I never saw it.
