Terminal cancer? Wouldn’t the series DEFINATELY have an end date then? not a smart move on showtime…
dude, if you’re going to put the word in all caps, at least spell it correctly. it’s DEFINITELY.
but anyway, yeah, if she has terminal cancer then how long will the show run? i won’t worry about it for now as i just adore laura linney and am excited to see her in anything! now i just need to get showtime again…
Cancer? I thought the “C” word was an anatomical female part that should only be used to describe Ann Coulter.
she is wonderfully, I can not wait to bridge the its new movie
