Last week, I told you about Maura Tierney's departure from the new NBC midseason drama, Parenthood. I was admittedly bummed, even though her recovery obviously takes priority. It's just that after watching the pilot, I thought Tierney was perfectly cast in the role.
Well, now the word is that NBC has reached out to Helen Hunt as a potential replacement for Tierney on the show.
Hunt is reportedly still mulling over the offer, but I'm already jumpy over this news. She's been off the Hollywood radar for a while, but I've always thought that she was one of the most talented actresses out there. I loved her on Mad About You and throughout her film career — As Good as It Gets, Cast Away, and don't forget Girls Just Want to Have Fun! Tierney would've been amazing in the role, but Hunt is a worthy substitute and I just know she'd deliver the complexity, which a drama like Parenthood needs. What do you think — are you excited about Hunt's possible return to the small screen?

i love HH and i think that it could be nice to see her on the show. i hope that it works out (not just for her but for the cast since i'm sure that they are a bit upset about the delay in things, even if it's for a good cause)
1No, don't care. It's funny cause Helen won an Oscar but I only remember that cause it was so freakishly weird that she won. Like when Mercedes Rhuel won. Weird blips on the Oscar radar.
2I love her. she could be on anything.
3Don't really care.. Maura Tierney was the only reason why I was gonna watch this show...
4I absolutely loved her in Mad About You.
