I'm so thrilled and excited about seeing Maura acting every week next fall! It feels like forever since we've seen her on screen. You all are making me feel so much better about this show and her role. I think you might be right Martine, maybe the negotiations took so long because they were making writing and character changes. And thank you Tara for the spoiler, that sounds very cool and perfect for Maura to play.

I for one am extremely excited. I think the premise seems interesting and fresh, and am looking forward to how they do it. Now, having watched the teaser (Thanks Martine!) I am so glad Joely Richardson is not doing it, and not only because I am thrilled that Maura is. I like Joely; I watched Nip/Tuck for years and thought she was great in that role. But here her scenes seemed stilted and she just seemed, to me, a bit awkward in the role. Notwithstanding my complete excitement at Maura having a new role on TV, I think it was a good thing that Joely will not be playing Kathryn Peale. Plus I get to see Maura every week again!!!
What do you guys think they will do about her hair? I kind of hope they leave it the way it is, and not add any wigs or extensions. I think it gives her an edgy look I think might add to the role.

I definitely hope they leave her hair as is because it looks so stunning on her. And like Nicole says, it does give her a very edgy, sexy vibe. I suspect we might even get to see her in her glasses, which we all love.

Double post, but I was just watching the trailer for "The Whole Truth" again, and it's not sad that I can't wait to here Maura say "Maria Kovas" because it's so close to "Kovac," right?
Also, pretty sure that's John Aylward portraying the Justice in one of the court room scenes. Also known as Dr. Donald Anspaugh.

I didn't think she'd take it, but she obviously felt it was right for her, so I trust her judgment completely. So here we go guys...on a new adventure with our girl. I have to admit it also worried me a bit that it took so long before we got an official confirmation. I've been thinking about all this a lot and I've come to an interesting conclusion ;D Maybe the reason why it took so long was because she negotiated with ABC so long, about how she wanted the show to be changed ... to make it better. And finally ABC gave in because they wanted her so desperately and now we will get a better show and our weekly Maura-fix I agree with that reasoning, but do you think another reason it took so long was because she had to move back to LA to do the show? I think she likes NY better, and she had been here for a while. Maybe she wanted to stay and it took a little convincing.

hehe -- I couldn't help myself! I was too excited to leave her page unedited! You mean you can edit her page? I never really understood how Imdb works. Anyway, there's still a big mistake on 'The Whole Truth' page. They say Maura will play ... Joely Richardson !!! Can you edit that? And yes, I also recognised Dr. Anspaugh I think she meant she edited wikipedia, not imdb. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone (I think), in fact, I edited her page once near the end of ER bc it said she was "one of the female leads" when I thought it should say "THE female lead" or even "The lead". However, I don't think just anyone can edit imdb, although I wish someone who could, would, bc the Joely Richardson thing is annoying me too. Her character's name is Kathryn Peale, crazy people! I guess the people who edit that just didn't wait to get 'The Whole Truth' about her character's name. Ok, ok, sorry, bad pun, couldn't help myself!!!

I hope they're able to get John Aylward back when they reshoot those courtroom scenes - it'd be sweet to see them together again.
I'm anxious to hear when production is supposed to start. I know a lot of new shows begin shooting in July, but I assume they'd have to start a little earlier on this one in order to get the pilot redone.

Maybe she wanted to stay and it took a little convincing. Mmm ... you might be right yeah. But I guess they'll also shoot some local NY scenes so she'll be back once in a while right.

If they were already planning to shoot the show in NY to accommodate JR, I think they should've been able to do the same for Maura. I've only read one report that says they're going to do it in LA now, do we know for sure that's right?

I could ask Christina ;D ;D ;D
