"Michelle Ryan has admitted that she was &amp;quot;upset&amp;quot; over NBC&amp;#039;s decision to axe Bionic Woman after just one season. The former EastEnders actress landed the lead role in the sci-fi remake in February 2007, but the show&amp;#039;s production was halted months later due to the US writers&amp;#039; strike. In 2008, it was confirmed that the programme would not be recommissioned following disappointing ratings. Speaking to The Guardian about the project&amp;#039;s fate, Ryan revealed: &amp;quot;It was really upsetting because we had been making a great, popular show.  &amp;quot;I thought there would be a new series after the writers&amp;#039; strike ended - but NBC thought the momentum we had built up had gone. So they cancelled it.&amp;quot; Asked if she considered returning to Albert Square following the setback, she replied: &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s just no way I would allow that to happen.&amp;quot; Ryan returns to screens in tonight&amp;#039;s special episode of Doctor Who, playing the Time Lord&amp;#039;s latest companion Lady Christina de Souza.
