Maura is my best friend. She just doesn't know it yet. :)

imdb finally changed her character's name from Joely Richardson, but now it's Kathryn Pearle. Isn't her character's name Kathryn Peale? imdb never gets anything right!

Yep, it's supposed to be Kathryn Peale.
I know procedurals don't really leave a lot of opportunity to delve into the characters' personal lives, but I hope that's not always the case with this show. It'll be fun to see Maura in lawyer mode, but I also hope we get to see another side of Kathryn.

I'm with you Tara, I think Maura will rock the attorney stuff, but her best moments on screen involve personal relationships and giving emotional depth to her character. I'm also sort of sad that this show appears to be all drama, giving no chance for Maura to do anything funny. I guess we'll have to wait for a movie role to see her do comedy again.
And I agree about the writing. I watched that promo clip with Joely Richardson again, and wow was the writing bad. They better improve that or the show won't be around very long.

I know it seems like there will be no comedy - but a drama usually has 1 or 2 funny parts per episode, so I am sure we will get to see that side of Maura. The people who hired her are obviously aware of her comedic talent, so I don't think they would let that go to waste in a series. I'm sure it will be 90% drama, 10% funny.

I hope this show does well, but like you all have said, the writing needs to improve first. It all begins and ends with the writing.
Maura and Julianna (Margulies) were my two favourites from ER, so I hope that after the great year Julianna had on The Good Wife, Maura is about to have just as good a year on The Whole Truth!

I also wish ABC had given the show a better timeslot. Wednesdays at 10pm has been a kiss of death slot on that network for years now. And putting it up against the new Law & Order series doesn't help matters. ABC is like NBC in a lot of ways, in that they seem to put their new shows in a position where they're destined to struggle, rather than putting them in the best possible position to succeed. And Martine, I saw that on Twitter this morning. I love any little tidbit of info they give us, but I wish we'd start getting info about filming - and some PICS to go with it!

Just asked the lovely Kristie, a JB Producer, when Maura will shoot her scenes for TWT she said at the end of July. Cool!

I just saw that August 1st is ABC's day at the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour. So we should at least get some new pics of Maura and her costars from that!

She looks more like a young Joely than a young Maura. I wonder if they will recast??

There was a version of the pilot script that didn't have flashbacks in it at all, so maybe they'd already started making changes and adding some new things when they shot it with Joely. If they keep the flashbacks in the new version, I think they at least need a kid with big brown eyes.

I just read that the Grey's Anatomy season premiere will be on September 23rd. So, if that will be ABC's premiere week, then The Whole Truth would debut on September 22nd!
ETA: No Ordinary Family is premiering on September 28th, so maybe we'll get TWT's debut on the 29th instead.
