ER alumna Maura Tierney is set to star opposite Dominic West
and Ruth Wilson in Showtime‘s drama pilot The Affair . From
playwright and writer/producer Sarah Treem and co-creator
Hagai Levi, The Affair is an intense and intimate exploration
of two marriages and an affair that disrupts them — with all
of the complex consequences that result. It centers on Noah
(West), a good husband, devoted father of four, and New York
City high school teacher whose settled, comfortable world is
about to implode when he meets a woman (Wilson) he thinks is his soul mate.
Emmy-nominated Tierney, repped by UTA and Untitled, will play Helen, Noah’s
college sweetheart, best friend, mother of his children, lover and wife of 17
years. Her world will be buffeted by Noah’s infidelity and, over time, she will
swing back and forth from understanding to furious, from forgiving to vengeful.
