nuages Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I was wondering if anyone here knew why gates mcfadden was not in season 2 of TNG? Did she get booted off originally or did she decide to leave?? I've always wondered and was never able to find an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssarbyug50 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I asked this on another board and got this answer: They were looking for a new feel/look season 2. More mature, i guess. Snazz it up a bit. Dr. Pulaski was supposed to be more of a Dr. Mccoy like character. That season they made Worf Chief of Security, Geordi Chief of Engineering, and Riker got his beard. So I guess TPTB wrote her out and then had a change of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuages Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 Well I sure am glad they decide to bring back Dr.Crusher, I really hated pulaski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vystral Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I too hated Pulaski. It isn't TNG without ol' Crusher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I liked Pulaski. :D She was so bitchy and she thought Data was nothing more than a sophisticated calculator. Granted, she wasn't as nice to look at as Dr. Crusher. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyperion Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 There was a writers strike during season 2 it's only 22 episodes some of which were assimilated from the never-produced Star Trek 2 series. I'm not sure if Gates was involved in it somehow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karimw786 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Are these conclusive answers, or are they hearsay and rumors? I would like to know why gates REALLY left during season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vystral Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 she had a baby, huh? well, good for her. as to the playboy thing, McFadden wasn't THAT attractive. her best features were her cheekbones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werecow Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 oh no no no no im sorry my comment was misunderstood!!!!!! Gates McFadden to the best of my knowledge NEVER did a playboy lay out.....i was speaking of Denise Crosby as to why she was asked to leave the show.....i should have made my statement more clearly...and to you Ms. McFadden my most sincere apologies if my comments were taken out of context..i did not make my statement clearly. and once again do offer my apologies....

werecow Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 and as for the REAL reason Ms. McFadden wasn't in season 2...the official scuttlebutt is that she refused the unwanted advances from "a high ranking production member" and was thus told she wasnt needed for series 2...due to a write in campaign and "someone high up " getting his hand smacked by "someone higher up" Ms. McFadden was asked if she would grace the set for the 3rd season nuff said and i applaud you Ms. McFadden for sticking by your guns and standing up for yourself!!! HUZZAH!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
