Maura Tierney Drops Out of Parenthood

Well this news is a big bummer — Maura Tierney will no longer be appearing in NBC's upcoming series Parenthood due to her ongoing breast cancer treatment. The show was moved from Fall to midseason when Tierney learned of her illness, but now she's dropping out altogether.
I loved Maura on ER and really enjoyed watching her in the pilot, but of course her health is the most important matter here. Luckily NBC says she's expected to recover and we wish her all the best as the network searches for her replacement.
