RESCUE ME ... TONIGHT
Fire drama's red-hot siren
[A] lot of the stuff that comes from Thorne's mouth on "Rescue Me" (Tuesdays at 10 p.m.) can't be repeated here, yet it fits perfectly with her character Sheila, whose firefighter-husband died on 9/11 and who is now sleeping with - and for a while was pregnant by - her husband's best friend, Tommy Glavin (played by Denis Leary).
…
"This is literally my favorite role," Thorne said. "The role of Sheila is like nothing else. There's no holds barred with her."
Thorne's character smokes, drinks, has a potty mouth, undergoes wild mood swings, yet can be playful, emotional and sexy. Paired with Leary's equally emotionally broken firefighter Glavin, the couple can be combustible.
