The creator of Lower Decks wrote her a letter explaining how important her character was to him and she read the script and enjoyed it. She also asked if she could just go by Jolene in this, which he was cool with.
She didn’t tell me why, but she was like, ‘I would prefer just to be Jolene in this,’ and we were happy to do it.
The creator couldn’t shed light on why the request was made, but confirmed they honored it, and that’s why Blalock is known simply as “Jolene” in the Star Trek: Lower Decks credits
