When I found out that Maura Tierney is leaving ER tonight I cried a little. First, it was Dr. Pratt and now it’s Abby. I know last season was so powerful for her as her character dealt with Alcoholism. This last season is going to be so hard to watch knowing everyone will be gone by the end of it all. TV Guide did an interview with her that was so funny, Maura sounds like she would be so awesome to hang around with !
TV Guide: You wanted Abby to be killed off, but she won’t be. So how does she leave?
Maura Tierney: Last year, Abby struggled so much, the writers wanted to send her off with a certain amount of calm and dignity. It’s sweet and funny.
TV Guide: What’s the future for Luka and Abby?
Tierney: I think it’s looking up. We sort of exit together. And there could be a kiss.
TV Guide: Are George Clooney and Julianna Margulies coming back?
Tierney: I’ve heard the rumors. [Laughs] I have no inside information…I want them to come back, too, as a viewer.
TV Guide: What do you want to do next?
Tierney: I’m ready for a sitcom. I always beg Paul Simms, who created NewsRadio, to make a show that I could be in. But he hasn’t done it yet, so a friend and I are developing an hourlong drama.
She’ll always be Abby to me…
