"ER" Maura Tierney desperately wants to die

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.":
