Don't think I have met Karla before. Quite a neat theme, but falls into place once it is spotted.

Two to go - and neither of them thematic (1 and 12). Will see if light dawns in the morning ... a fun solve, though - new setter?

Are you sure about 12 not being thematic? That means you have already found all 14 🙂.

Finished with a bit of Googling as some of the connections were unknown to me. I haven't yet parsed the original to 24a.

The usual interpretation of Tom (perhaps) plus a synonym for "female lead" minus central letter(s).

Haha! I guessed 24a from the entry, and came up with the wrong 9-letter word. No wonder it didn't parse. Thanks, BB.

Jadzia,
26a is themed. Think of climate.
21d. Def. is 'weird'. Drug enforcer, reversed + a brand name of jelly.
