When Gates McFadden originally signed on, 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 Maurice Hurley (Seasons 1 & 2 showrunner) led to her being released from her contract (hence Dr. Crusher's absence from season two) and replaced by Dr. Kate Pulaski (Diana Muldaur). Ironically, Muldaur later decided that episodic television was not for her, so producer Rick Berman personally phoned McFadden to try to convince her to return for season three. A call from her dear friend, Patrick Stewart clinched the deal for McFadden.
