It's the synth nest they're looking for
A possible reason for Beverly's absence so far, in Season 1
Maybe it has something to do with Jurati killing Maddox, which couldn't have happened so easily if Crusher decided to join Jean Luc's ragtag crew on the Sirena. Something which the writers might want to do, if or when she appears in the show.

I doubt they were thinking about Beverly at all when writing this show.
MC actually says this in one of his Instagram responses - that unless a character is appearing they do not give it any thought.
TEN SEASONS? Where the hell did the time go.
Why would it not matter? Blessed are the ignorant?
He's a public figure. People simply want to know, they have a right to know.
What fantasy? What are you blabbering about? I seriously asked a legitimate question. You have a problem with that?
Speak for yourself then - "No. I don't know." Fine then.
Considering there are so many nerds around here, especially those admiring this show, one would think you'd care. And even know that information. Nevertheless, people sometimes wish to know how much a series costs, or an episode. I'd like to know how much he got for this role.
Or he made Chabon go through the hoops precisely because he did and does care about the money? And fame, of course.
Why would Stewart and/or CBS treat that information as confidential? Information on salaries of actors and actresses of many other shows are freely available on the internet. He's not avoiding any taxes, is he? What would one need to fear? People are genuinely interested in that legitimate question, just like they may be and are interested in how much Harrison Ford received for, let's say, Star Wars. On wonders why a TV network or any public information service hasn't inquired into that information and shared it already.
You think a clerk on that service phone line would really know that information?
There's a difference between a public figure and a public official. The latter is being paid with taxpayers' money. That's when people have a right to know what they're making.
They do. He's a public figure.
Doesn't still mean someone won't ask that question. I'm certainly not the only one interested in what his salary is. It's a legit question. Viewers wish to know, fans wish to know. Public wishes and needs to know.
Fixed your quote tags since you were including your response as part of your quote of me.
See above. There's a difference between being a public figure (celebrity) and a public official (paid by taxpayers). We have no "right" to know how much a celebrity makes.
Nor do we have a "need" to know.
People subscribing to CBS A.A. are paying money, too.
A clerk on the service phone line would know as much as you and I, but they might be able to connect you to someone with that information, provided you have a legal, fiscal, or perhaps media-related reason for the financial inquiry. It might be best to submit it in writing, although a phone call or email would give them a heads up to prepare the information for your review.
There might be a cultural concern here at play, though. In the US, salaries and payment information is generally kept close to the vest, since we have a history of employers trying to undercut employee pay (hence, they promote the secrecy) on top of a class system (the "American dream") composed of middle-class and others trying to hob-nob with higher earners. Many, many people are embarrassed by their pay, and its bordering on taboo to reveal it.
Hollywood is a cutthroat business that reflects this even with high-earning movie and TV stars. We know things from leaks, but most of what we '"know" are estimates generally not confirmed by actors or publicists unless there's a gross underpayment at play (Scarlett Johansson in The Avengers for example). Stewart is British, not American, so he might be more looser with his figures. He's also an executive producer with heavy creative input, so his salary could very well be very, very low (maybe even non-existent) in exchange for a percentage of the profits and various other perks. I'm sure he expects to earn overall more than Isa Briones or Santiago Cabrera, although maybe they're earning more on the frontend.
