Weiner was a female crew member of Red Dwarf of unknown rank, mentioned only briefly in the first Red Dwarf novel. She was presumably an officer, and dealt with issues regarding the ship holograms. It was Weiner who had to inform the then ship's first hologram, Frank Saunders, that he was to be switched off. Weiner ran in on one of Frank's metaphysical therapy sessions, and inadvertently walked through Frank's hologram which she apologised for, to inform him that Flight Coordinator George McIntyre had committed suicide. As a result, McIntyre's hologram was deemed more important, and was to replace Frank's hologram. Frank not dealing with death very well, was relieved to hear this news.
