Gates McFadden had been fired after season one, for reasons I was unable to locate. Diane Muldaur, who played the anti-Data Dr. Pulaski then joined for season two.

However, her characters abrasiveness, her bigotry towards Data, and perhaps her lack of looks, didn't serve her well with Star Trek fans. So she was not brought back for the third season, instead they had Patrick Stewart call Gates McFadden to ask her to come back.

For many, the old style "Ginger or Mary Ann" debate was rebooted into the "Deanna Troi or Beverly Crusher" debate. With Beverly usually rating very high, for having better looks and more brains, if less abundant cleavage then Marina Sirtis.
