Now see that's what I thought. However, it seems like everyone already believes it's written in stone. Joe seemed so generic (no offense), I thought it might just be a working name. Then again, I really could see Abby naming her son that. Luka, not so much.

u know what? that makes perfect sense, i dont think Joe is the permanent name either... its just so (no offense) common ya know... i dont think abby and luka would name their kid with a common name.. or at least not that common... I've always liked Jacob for a boy but i doubt Abby will name her son after her ex boyfriend.

I'm one of the many (and I do mean many) people who wanted this child desperately to be a girl. I even know someone is forming a petition for people to sign to get them to change the sex. Absolutely NONE of the current cast members have daughters. All boys. A matter of fact... Only people to have girls: Doug/Carol Mark/Elizabeth People who had/have boys: Doug (once mentioned) Benton Chen (gave up for adoption) Susan Kerry Sam Carter (died) Is it just me or are baby girls just not aloud in this ER? I don't think Doug's, Chen's or Carter's count, cauze they never really apeared (Well fine Chen's made one or two aperances) Ella, Rachel, Carol's daughters, Alex and Resse were the ones that made bigger part of ER (Even Henry didn't show up as much as Ella and Rachel) and if you look at it this way you'll see there is one girl more, so actually Lubby's son would balance it!

Sorry, but I disagree. Right now absolutely none of the current cast members have a daughter. That's unrealistic. Forgot to add Oh there's a petition out there to have them change the sex to a girl. It is also for those of us who want a healthy baby instead of the current storyline. If anybody wants to sign it, it's here. s3.invisionfree.com/ER_Headquarters/index.php?showtopic=3183Doubt it will make a difference, but hey it's worth a shot. Edited to add: You have to be registered to sign and the password is "spoiler".

Whatever, I still love the idea of a boy. They could make a great story out of it, like Abby finally finding a childhood she never had,( girls are usually too tight to daddy , and this would make little story with Abby) I think a boy would be a lot more fun! And with Abby's story with men she should have a boy! It just fits! maybe later she could have a girl, that would be cool, but honestly the first should be a boy!

That's the difference. I'm more of a Luka fan than an Abby fan so I want some Luka-baby based story-lines. We've already seen Luka with Sam's son, and he has talked more about his son than his daughter. Therefore I feel that Luka and a little girl would work better. I already get the impression he wants a girl, and after all that's he's been through with the death of his entire family, I think the writers should give him a break here. I do agree that with Abby a baby boy works best, although I would love to see her overcome her fear of the "mother/daughter dynamic". I think by the time the episode airs I will be used to the idea of a baby boy. I also know that I'm going to love him as much as I love Luka and Abby. It would be ridiculous not to like the baby simply because it's not the sex I would have preferred. I have absolutely nothing against baby boys. I was very happy when Susan had a boy. I also loved that Benton had a boy. Worked well with their characters. This time around I'm rooting for a baby girl. Different strokes for different folks, as they say.

I don't think any true luby fan is going to hate (or even not like) the baby because it's a boy. I think a lot of people (including me) wanted a girl and so they are voicing their opinions. I know a lot had the same reasoning I did (no girls in years/Luka-baby girl dynamic), and so they are simply expressing their disappointment. I also think the writers probably skim over message boards to see people's reactions to these spoilers. Does it influence there decision? Probably not. However, at least they can see what people are talking about. So some of us are still hopeful the sex is yet to be determined. At least by reading the spoilers, we can all get used to the idea before the baby is actually born. When this baby is born he/she is going to be loved by all luby fans We're all rooting for this kid to survive, regardless of the sex. Only people I know who aren't are the Abby and Luka haters, and some Carbies. (Kinda nasty to root for a baby to die, but believe it or not, it's happening at other boards.)

I know, it's actually scary! People at ER Forums and COffe & Pie are so insistant in this that they actually try to make you believe it will happen. Even with Luby scenes they try to make Luka horrible, like what I read that Luka was beeing agressive by pushing Abby to get the shot, when it was really so far from that.

I won't even go to those boards again. I was so disgusted with the things I was reading there. ER Forums makes me so angry I could just scream.
Coffee and Pie are die-hard carbies. I think they believe that if the baby dies, Abby will have something in common with Carter and that will reunite them. I find that laughable. Abby and Luka are obviously in it for the long run. Anyone with two eyes and a brain can see that. Coffie and Pie also seem to hate Luka with a passion, and anything he does, in their view, is not only wrong but absolutely horrible.
I've known a lot of carbies who are actually happy with Luby version 2, and some have even been converted. So I don't want to say anything nasty in general about carby fans. It's one thing to disagree, but it's another thing to out and out trash. There are always going to be a few narrow-minded folks who have nothing good to say so all they do is spread hate. It's unfortunate, but it's the way of the world.

Coffee and Pie? Wow never heard of them and I'm kind of happy about that. They seem even worse than the ones on ER Forums I just don't get Carbies who actually watch the show in season 11 and 12 and still stick to their hope that there might be a future for this pairing. I mean when Carter left, you could hardly say that he was on loving terms with Abby. They hardly talked to each other. And now in season 12 we have a luby pairing that is probably the strongest pairing we have seen on this show for ages. Anyone who has seen Out On A Limb has to agree on that. I felt some Carby belief crumbling on ER Exchange after the airing of this episode. I think some of them finally realized that there was no chance in hell those two would part, even if the baby was to die...

They made my blood boil but I kind of enjoyed reading the ER Forum carping. Alas...I have been banned from their boards for a year. It seems they didn't think much of my remark about providing my 'laugh of the day with their totally predictable hatred of Abby' following an earlier episode this season. Trolls indeedy!

Oh I never post there. I just read. I'd be banned in no time if I'd say what I think of them

ER Forums I am surprised that I haven't been banned from that board after what I said about them... mean, horrible, vicious lot... I just got transported to the "Battleground" usual... That lot will grow up one day (perhaps they will never! ) AEB board I though they were bad... uhm nope ER Forums are the bitches of the bitches Coffee and Pie I like that board to fish some Maura stuff, spoilers and other ER... Yes those Carbies are a little poison tongue about Luby but they are not actually nasty about Abby... I mainly go to the Maura Tierney thread...
