Berman, for whatever reason, decided not to get involved or prevent McFadden from being let go, but after Hurley left his position as head writer at the end of TNG season 2, Berman asked McFadden to come back. McFadden was understandably skeptical of the invitation to return to TNG after being fired one season prior, but fan letters and personal phone calls from her former castmates, especially Patrick Stewart who played Dr. Crusher's love interest, Captain Picard , convinced her to return.

Her disappearance was explained in-universe by her taking a position as the head of Starfleet Medical. Crusher, on the other hand, was back on the Enterprise-D by the third season, where she remained for several more years.
Though it would seem logical to assume that McFadden needed a year off for personal reasons, the real reason she left the show — and the reason she returned — was far more dramatic. The majority of the writers who worked on the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation left before the season was finished.
We really needed female role models, we needed more role models for people of colour. And the Star Trek world started this very tolerant world. You said your perception of the fans changed - when did that happen for you?
Was it while you were still making the show? I was blown away when, in the second season, how many letters I got from fans.
Thousands of letters and people who said they loved the character and loved me. I had been in conflict with one of the male writer-producers about certain things I thought were sexist. I was shocked that they let me go, because I knew my character was really popular. What was great was they got rid of him and asked me to come back.
So, for me, that was terrific. I know that the fans had something to do with it. I was surprised at how powerful the fans felt about things and vocal about it.
It was very moving to me when I came back. I also then had a child, so I was preoccupied with all of that. They were busy years. I wasn't fully told what really happened. I didn't really understand. I know Patrick [Stewart] had wanted me back because he was the first person to call me and ask if I'd consider it.
I was told it was still going to be the love interest to Picard, but I felt they really pushed away from that when I came back. In the beginning they had a lot of scripts for [replacement character] Dr Pulaski. I could see they were taking Pulaski scripts they had and tried to make it Crusher. It's interesting now re-watching the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation , knowing that you were moved off the show for the second season, it's hard to believe that happened immediately after they killed off Denise Crosby's character Tasha Yar.
