NBC's new fall drama series "Parenthood" has been pushed to midseason because of an illness of one of the stars, Maura Tierney.
"Start of production on NBC Universal's new series 'Parenthood' has been postponed for eight weeks due to medical evaluation that valued cast member Maura Tierney is undergoing," NBC said in a statement. "The top priority for NBC, Universal Media Studios and Imagine Television is the well-being of Ms. Tierney. We are unable to release further details and ask that you respect her privacy at this time."
Tierney, 44, who has been public about her long struggle to quit smoking, is best known for her 10-year stint as Dr. Abby Lockhart on ER, for which she earned an Emmy nomination.
She also starred on another Peacock series, comedy NewsRadio, and has appeared in a number of features, including Insomnia and Baby Mama.
She's also TPWFMA. Get well soon, Ms. Tierney.
