I'm loving the Desperate Housewives idea although Maura is the complete opposite of the cast! She doesn't look like a lollipop for a start. She's far more glamorous and talented.
I want to see Maura in a leading role in a movie. I like the idea of a crime thriller type thing. A sitcom would be good too, a Cheers revival!

Oh my god! My dream is see Maura as a regular cast in DH or Brothers & Sisters. ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

I'd love to see Maura in something like that too, maybe Ugly Betty even. But I do like her in thrillers, she was amazing in Oxygen, so maybe she should do a crime thriller!

^ I love those shows! Maura should guest star in Medium too, I love that show and she'd be awesome! Although, I'd really like Maura to do some work in Europe!

As I read the news about Maura being on Rescue Me and found out that the co-creator of that show was Peter Tolan, who directed her in Finding Amanda (and described her as "lovely"), I also found out the Tolan is working on project with Matthew Perry for Showtime, The End of Steve, a show about a afternoon TV talk show host who isn't happy with his professional nor his romantic life. Matthew is even writing for the show, aparently a foul-mouthed dark comedy! i read somewhere (can't remember where) that he has a love interest and that that part hasn't been cast yet! Even though I don't know if this would necessarily be a good choice, I would really like to see Maura working with Perry! They are both such good actors!

Oh....heehee...probably right up her alley. Although my husband's brows went up a bit when I told him she had been cast in 'Rescue Me' as Leary's romantic interest. He just kind of nodded and said that it ought to be 'interesting'. Said in a later conversation that the show tends to be 'different'....and then I wrangled out of him about bare bodies and foul language. Something tells me that he will not be so resisitant about tagging along if I say I want to see Maura in a play again. LOL

I am looking forward to see Maura in a another series even though it is only for 6 episodes... What is so special about Denis Leary? I don't get it... He is UGLY!!! and unappealing... Yeah why Maura always play a romantic interest to ugly or stupid guys in movies? e.g. Scotland PA, Welcome to Mooseport ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) The only decent looking guy she had was Goran Visnjic and I am not being biased either... It was time Maura to have a leading role or bigger part in a Blockbuster movie... I know Maura is short but can't she play Wonder Woman that in the talks to be made...?

That and the fact that he appears to have an ego the size of Alaska...Yeah why Maura always play a romantic interest to ugly or stupid guys in movies? e.g. Scotland PA, Welcome to Mooseport But she makes those characters so dag gummed appealing! I would have liked to see her a bit more with Cuba Gooding in 'Instinct'.....but that would have taken away from the story. The only decent looking guy she had was Goran Visnjic and I am not being biased either... Ummm.....they were good together...VERY good. But Maura makes 'good' with whatever she is handed....IMVHO. Part of her charm. It was time Maura to have a leading role or bigger part in a Blockbuster movie... Ditto!I know Maura is short but can't she play Wonder Woman that in the talks to be made...? Her 'people' seriously need to look at the character's in Karen Rose's books. I am dead serious. Strong. Independent. Slightly Flawed. Earthy and romantic. Totally up Maura's alley. TOTALLY!

I thought the on-screen chemistry was powerful that you were convinced the characters were actually "together"

Absolutely, I am behind you with that larue

And we have to give her credit for it, Larue. She made Ray Romano look like someone she would love. Despite the fact he´s way out of her league (as the expression goes) I have to say, their kiss after his proposal was 100 times better than any of Abby/John´s kisses. Which makes me think of some possibilities: 1 - Noah sucks in romantic scenes; 2 - She was not as involved in the couple and didn´t make an effort...; 3 - The couple A/C was not suposed to be "hot" 4 - Maybe Ray is better than I would ever imagine. Well, can be one of these things, some of them or even all ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Anyway, I would love to see her in uniform ( I love uniforms). Or maybe a criminal (a smart one that has to change her looks to keep her illegal activities / or has a secret life)

Eh....why did we have to turn this conversation into another Carby bashing session??? Let's let bygones be bygones and lay Carby to rest. Noah has had his moments....with Abby....and any number of other characters on the show. Quite frankly, I would have liked to see him tangle emotionally with Lucy Knight.....or stick with Abby Keaton. But neither was to be.

Man, I think my years defending Steffi from Monica´s fans and later on reading that defuntER forum where Maura´s hatters used to run made me kind of insensible. Sorry. I would guess that Maura would consider a part essencially happy/romantic kind of boring. That girl next door thing.... I´d love to see her with a double persona. Like a dirt cop, walking in thin line. Or a terror movie where she seems to be the lamb and a silly guy try to save her all the time, but in the middle we find out she´s the wolf and kills him ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) (ok, better I stop before you call my therapist)

Let's campaign for her to be on Saturday Night Live!
Executive Producer Lorne Michaels
lorne@lornemichaels.com
I put 'Guest Host' in the subject line and then just wrote "Maura Tierney. Please!' in the message.

O.k., since we are all thinking positively that Maura will fully recover, I think it's time to restart this thread.
Soooooo....I was just reading today that NBC is developing the great British series "Prime Suspect" into a new show for (I think) fall of 2010. This sounds like it would be a great role for Maura. I love Helen Mirren, and I consider her along with Judy Dench and Meryl Streep as the best actresses working in film right now. No doubt Helen would be a tough act to follow, but this could be the biggest, most sought after female role cast in all of TV next year.
I never watched Prime Suspect (but know of it's great reputation/multiple Emmy awards) so I went to IMBD to read about it. Here is a direct quote from someone who wrote a review:"...the character is sympathetic, tough, vulnerable, bright, very clever, and sexy...all at the same time." That's the description of a PERFECT character for Maura!
I suspect NBC will try to get a "big" name, maybe someone like Glenn Close (is her series still going?) or Susan Sarandon (would she do tv?). I wonder if Maura would be too young for the role? Would it shoot in NYC? Would Maura rather do something with more comedy?
So for those who have watched "Prime Suspect" what do you think? It probably won't happen, but it sure sounds like it would be perfect for her.
