She got up and pulled Stewart in for a tight embrace. The whole studio audience gives a round of applause for the happy moment!

Revisiting Stewart’s original character with a whole new audience

Stewart also talks about his character for the Star Trek series and revisiting it for more contemporary audiences. “It’s easy…. Picard has aged 18 years, fictionally, and Patrick Stewart has aged 18 years actually. And I don’t have to work at it because it’s just me, it’s who I am now!” he jokes.

“We have such a team of writers on this show, it’s astonishing, and I wanted to show that Picard’s world had changed because Patrick’s world has certainly changed, and we are no longer now living in the same kind of society we lived in 18 years ago.”

Will Goldberg need to modify her appearance in any way for her return?

Goldberg’s co-hosts followed up with the amazing invitation by asking if Goldberg would have to dye her hair or anything to reprise her role. Stewart confirms that she doesn’t need to do anything of the sort. “She’s Guinan, and who knows what Guinan’s history really is,” Stewart says. “That could be one of the excitements down the road!”
