I like her in hindsight. Pulaski seemed more real and relaxed, Crusher was a bit of a prude almost for a while.

Diane Muldaur didnt want to return for season 3 anyway, she wasn't up for a long running series a main character. The series did have quite a hard shooting schedule.

Gates McFadden was fired from Star Trek:TNG after season 1. The reason was she was too vocal in her dislike for some sexist elements and a sexist producer, Maurice Hurley.

He took a dislike to her and she was forced out. After season 2 Hurley left the show and she was invited back. The rest is history and the show certainly seemed better for Hurleys departure.
