Should really have let it dry out some without the heat first. Not alot more the plasterer could have done other than skrim the joints although he could have used paper tape with dry lining compound where the cracks may be subject to reappearing. Open up the crack slightly with the tip of a screwdriver, just to get a little width on the crack and fill, with a bit of luck it will not reappear.
