Maura Tierney Suffering From Mysterious Illness - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 07-10-2009, 11:03 PM

NBC's new fall drama series "Parenthood" has been pushed to midseason because of an illness of one of the stars, Maura Tierney.

The series, a contemporary reimagining of the 1989 feature, had been scheduled to begin filming July 27. The production start of the Universal Media Studios/Imagine TV-produced show is now tentatively scheduled for late September.

"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."

"Parenthood" revolves around four siblings (Peter Krause, Tierney, Erika Christensen, Dax Shepard) and their parents (Bonnie Bedelia and Craig T. Nelson).

As a result of the delay, NBC is making a change on its fall schedule.

Maura Tierney revealed Monday that she will be having surgery to remove a breast tumor.

"In an effort to guard my privacy, it seems that the wording of NBC's press release has unfortunately caused some confusion and undue alarm about my health," Tierney, 44, said in a statement regarding her "illness," which NBC Universal announced Friday was delaying production of her new series, Parenthood.

"I have discovered a tumor in my breast which requires surgery. I will not know either my exact diagnosis or course of treatment until that surgery is performed. My doctors have all assured me this is a very treatable condition," the statement read.

Maura Tierney is having surgery to remove a breast tumor, she said in a statement to TVGuide.com.

The surgery is the reason NBC is delaying production on her new series, Parenthood, by eight weeks.

Fall TV grid: See what's on and when

"I have discovered a tumor in my breast which requires surgery," the actress, 44, said. "I will not know either my exact diagnosis or course of treatment until that surgery is performed."

NBC originally issued a statement attributing the production delay to a "medical evaluation" Tierney was undergoing. The network's choice of words, however, "unfortunately caused some confusion and undue alarm about my health," Tierney said. That's why she came forward with her own clarification.

Parenthood, originally slotted for a fall launch, now will premiere at midseason, once Tierney's surgery and recovery is over.

"My doctors have all assured me this is a very treatable condition," Tierney said in her statement. "I'm very optimistic as to the outcome and want to thank everyone who has sent positive thoughts and support. I look forward to going back to work soon."
