There is so much comedy in it and great rapport between the characters.

Here is part where Gallant tells her off for smoking:

Thanks for the clip, Stephen! I can't wait to watch the whole episode.

Interview with Maura and Rob Morrow about The Whole Truth - YouTube - The Whole Truth: Tierney & Morrow

New article interview - 'The Whole Truth' about Maura Tierney: She's more confident - USATODAY.com (article below)

Quote:

LOS ANGELES — Maura Tierney says she's tougher than she used to be.

Sitting on the mostly empty Warner Bros. set of her new series, The Whole Truth (ABC, Wednesday, 10 p.m.), she tells a photographer to pipe down. Then she asks a crewmember to move out of her line of sight.

"Look at me bossing everybody around," the actress, 45, says. "It's not like I want to tell people what to do. But I've had experience now. I'm more competent, at least in my work life. I've learned I'm not going to get what I want if I don't ask for it."

This past year has been a wake-up call for Tierney, who wrapped up a decade as Dr. Abby Lockhart on ER in 2009. After dropping out of NBC's Parenthood last summer to undergo treatment for breast cancer, she returned to the stage in March in a New York production of the Wooster Group's 1983 play North Atlantic. Then she stepped into The Whole Truth, a legal drama that examines cases from both the prosecutor and defense attorney points of view.

Tierney plays Kathryn Peale, a tough deputy bureau chief in the Manhattan district attorney's office. Rob Morrow is the criminal defense attorney and friend who often opposes her. "Justice is not always served," Tierney says. "A guilty person is not always convicted, and an innocent person is not always let off. You don't find out until the end what the whole truth is."

Tierney says she likes the character because "it's not a dumb girl part. ... And I like her sense of humor. My (college) friend Tom (The Whole Truth's executive producer Tom Donaghy) wrote it based on my personality. Kathryn is a single woman in her mid-40s, very career-oriented and has a dry wit."

Tierney finds the differences between Kathryn and Dr. Lockhart refreshing. "Abby was deeply empathetic. I like that Kathryn is not so much, although she's trying her best. I like her limitations — the narrow-mindedness and the blinders she has on."

Kathryn lives for work. Tierney agrees that "work is probably too important. I should probably have a little more balance in my life, but I'm working on that."

Tierney was married for 13 years to actor/director Billy Morrissette, but they divorced in 2006. She won't discuss her romantic life now, but she is more forthcoming about her cancer battle. She was diagnosed with a breast tumor in June 2009 and had surgery in July. She underwent six months of treatment before returning to work on the FX series Rescue Me, where she plays Kelly, a love interest of Denis Leary.

Kelly will undergo treatment for breast cancer on the show's final season, which will air in 2011. Tierney filmed the episodes in January, shortly after she finished her own treatment.

Tierney tries to be upbeat. "I do feel well," she says with a smile, "except they work me too hard. We didn't work this hard on ER, where there were seven principals. I thought this was going to be more of an ensemble show."

Looking back on the moment she transformed into what she jokes is her "new and better" self, she says, "I was rehearsing (North Atlantic) with Fran McDormand, Kate Valk and Liz LeCompte, who's the artistic director, and I realized I would have been so freaked out 10 years ago. These are women I admire so much. But I just thought, 'I'm allowed to be here because they said I could.' Finally, after all these years, I have some confidence."

Thanks for the article, Stephen.
It's so great to hear about her new show, and her new outlook.

I'm Not Dead · 09-23-2010, 10:38 AM

You're welcome

So... The Whole Truth tanked in the ratings

I haven't seen the pilot yet but the ratings averaged out at under 5 million viewers.

LukaAbbyLover · 09-23-2010, 06:39 PM

Thanks for posting that stuff

going to check it on in a bit

Oh no

I haven't watched it yet either, was planning to this weekend

shattered jewels · 09-24-2010, 02:05 AM

Thanks for the new thread.

That's not good that it's ratings weren't good. I hope they pick up.

I'm Not Dead · 09-24-2010, 03:35 AM

It's not looking good, but no point worrying about that now.

I watched the pilot and it wasn't bad. I enjoyed seeing Maura on-screen and she was terrific in the role, but if I'm honest she is the only reason I will keep watching. The show didn't have enough of a spark all-round.

Caps:

Snarky Susan · 09-24-2010, 04:24 AM

her facial expression on the 4th picture. As for TWT's ratings, not really a good sign.

Tina · 09-24-2010, 05:59 AM

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that it didn't do good.

Thanks for the caps, Stephen.

I'm Not Dead · 09-24-2010, 06:43 AM

Maura will be on the Ellen show Yfrog Image : yfrog.com/mkhrcj - Uploaded by ETCanada

Glad you both like the caps

I love the shooting range one (see icon

)

Loopyallie · 09-24-2010, 11:59 PM

Of course the rating bombeed a bit because L&O:SUV is a popular show.

Anyway made some icons of Maura as Kathryn Peale from the TWT pilot...

*Spoiler warning*

I'm Not Dead · 09-25-2010, 05:23 AM

They're amazing! I'll use one if you don't mind

Loopyallie · 09-25-2010, 06:45 AM

Thank you so much! Please help yourself, they are there for anyone to use
