[show all]When Gates McFadden originally signed on for Star Trek: The Next Generation, it was on the understanding that her character would ultimately become a romantic foil for Captain Jean-Luc Picard. This did not materialize and she was becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of character development for Dr Crusher. Clashes with the producers led to her being released from her contract, hence Dr Crusher's absence from Season 2 and replacement by Dr Kate Pulaski, played by Diana Muldaur. Ironically Muldaur would later decide that serial television was not for her, so producer Rick Berman personally phoned McFadden to try to convince her to return for Season 3. A call from her dear friend Patrick Hewes Stewart clinched the deal for McFadden.
