MAURA TIERNEY - TEIRNEY BEGS E.R. BOSSES TO KILL HER

MAURA TIERNEY is begging E.R. bosses to kill off her character before
the longrunning show comes to an end, but they are refusing to let DR
ABBY LOCKHART die.

Network bosses recently announced E.R. will end after one more season,
and Tierney is keen to go out with a bang.
But she claims network chiefs want her character to live on, despite
her pleas.

She tells AOL Movies, "I want them to kill me. And they won't. They
refused to kill Abby."

Meanwhile, Tierney applauds the decision to call time on the hugely
successful medical drama, adding, "I think it's a great thing for the
cast and the crew. And I think it is a great thing that (creator) John
Wells and all the rest of the writers know that's it's ending and have
time to prepare for it and finish it in a way that's thoughtful.":

The actress Maura Tierney does NOT want to die, she wants her CHARACTER
Abbey to die ... there's a BIG difference.

Which is precisely why bad journalists use such misleading titles for
their news stories.

Yeah, but I posted the actual interview between her and AOL television
earlier in the week so everyone saw the actual interview and here you
come along and headline it as if she wants to kill herself.

Maybe...even the AOL did a better job at headlining it.

Sorry, I did not see you post, I'm in rec.arts.tv and only included

Unfortunately it is lesson no. 2 in Journalism School. :-(

Lesson no. 1 is "the truth is irrelevant".

Lesson no. 3 is "why write stories when you can just steal them from
the 'Net".

Wrong on all counts.

1. You stole the news story you posted here from a website.

2. I'm not a "lady". I'm male.

3. I have nothing to "calm down" about. I was simply saying that
those are apparently the lessons they teach at Journalism School
because most reporters are so incredibly bad at reporting actual
news.

All she has to do is continue to chain smoke like she does in real-
life and she can kill two birds with one stone (pardon the pun).
Well... if she's dead in real-life, the producers can always re-cast
her character. The only to stop them is if her ghosts comes back and
haunts them.
