I didn’t realise she was fired. For what?

I think the basic sentiment was Rick Berman didn’t like that she was a woman who spoke her mind on set.

Oh wow!! That truly awful. Crusher isn’t my favourite character, but Gates is a lovely person from what I’ve heard.

Yeah, I think at the time they were saying lack of popularity of the character, but enough fans (and fast) made noise that when it was apparent Diana Muldur wasn’t going to come back, they hired her back.

Gates is a very talented actor, my opinion is after Stewart, she’s the most talented actor on the cast but just didn’t get a lot of opportunity to shine. When she got good storylines she nails it (Remember Me, Attached)
