Paramedic Layne Ishay is a medic serving aboard battlestar Galactica.
One of the many resource shortfalls of Galactica's ongoing logistical nightmare is a shortage of medical personnel. Doctor Cottle is the only trained physician on board, supplemented by a handful of medics. As a result, Ishay has been required to step up to perform medical procedures she wouldn't normally be expected to perform.
Immediately after the attempted assassination of then-Commander William Adama by Sharon "Boomer" Valerii, and with the absence of Doctor Cottle from Galactica during her isolation from the rest of the fleet, Commander Adama's life is left in the hands of Galactica's paramedics.
After it becomes clear that no other aid is arriving, and that the commander would be lost without immediate action, Colonel Tigh orders Ishay to operate on Adama (Scattered). Despite never having performed an operation in her life, Ishay's emergency thoracic surgery stabilizes Adama's condition until Doctor Cottle returns, who, with Ishay's assistance, stops the commander's internal bleeding (Fragged).
Ishay later assists Dr. Cottle in delivering Caprica-Valerii's Cylon-human hybrid baby, Hera, by emergency surgery (Downloaded).
Ishay speaks with an accent similar to Gaius Baltar's, which may be a local characteristic of one of the Twelve Colonies.
Notes
- Kerry Norton is also the wife of actor Jamie Bamber (Lee Adama). Her on-air "accent" is, of course, that of United Kingdom citizens. Her husband is also British, but disguises his accent when portraying Lee Adama.
- In a deleted scene, Ishay delivers the news of Hera's alleged death to D'anna Biers, who plotted with Gina and Gaius Baltar to abduct the baby from Galactica.
