Question:

Why did the actor who played Dr. Crusher on Star Trek TNG leave for one season?

She wanted more money or what?

Answer:

She was recalled to Starfleet Medical, it may have been because of the perm situation.
i think she left the show to be on a soap opera.. im not sure which one.. but obviously she didnt stay on it for long .. she was the better doctor on the show.. i didnt care much for her replacement
I thought it was cause she got pregnant and instead of writing it into the show they took her out for a season
Played by Gates McFadden, she took time off to make movies and expand her tv career. She was in The Hunt for Red October as well as Taking care of Business (with Jim Belusi) Also appeared on tv in All My Children, LA Law, the Cosby Show and Mad About You
don't know, but glad she came back,she's perfect for that role
