For curiosity, it is good to know, but what this happen to do with my reply ? I know that you know the country and all, but if they ( TPTB ) want to cut the costs, why should they pick up the cast and crew and go to Germany, while they have Croatian cities in the US, where they can shoot ? It makes no sence... Dani USA has Croatian cities? is it possible you meant citizens ? It was talked that it would be hard to get a scenery that convices enough and that it would cost a lot less to get the NEEDED cast (GV, MT and Joe, my guess) on a flight to Croatia or Bosnia to film there, however some think it is rather difficult with the mess GV is in at the moment, so I said there are some nice beaches in Germany that could convince enough, and my guess it would cost the same amount money as if they flew all the way to Croatia.

southern california has a lot of nice beaches too. ER all ready uses green screens for some stuff, if they need outdoor scenes they can alway s fudge it in the studio and in post production, I'd think.

Ok, I read it wrong... yeah there is citizens, not cities...
But still the same... I don't think NBC will give them the money... they can shoot in southern california, like hinkydoodle said and after put a scene of the beach in Croatia ( just the beach, no actors )...

I din't think NBC will give then the money... they can shoot in southern california, like hinkydoodle said and after put a scene of the beach in Croatia ( just the beach, no actors )... Dani I don't think we'll have Croatia aniway. I think it was posted somewhere that Luka will be back with his brother, so hard to believe that Abby will get on a flight to Croatia anytime soon. But I think the brother could bring issues.

Didn't a certain someone promise to NEVER let anything come between them again? OMG! this is one hellava storyline and we are all going to be hanging out for Luka to come in on his trusty steed and save this day! (I too doubt Moretti would have slept her...it's just circumstancial.)

Random thoughts...
I think it depends what they want to do with the story. Either the story is about Abby prevailing on her own, and she realises after not being able to get to Luka at the airport that she needs to fight this, goes to AA and gets back on the wagon without much help from Luka, or it's about Luka accepting that she really does have a problem (I've seen the opinion expressed around the boards that he hasn't really acknowledged her alcoholism), which IMHO would need to involve seeing her at her worst - in which case she either does get on a plane or he (in an amazing cliche) arrives at the airport while she's still there or otherwise sees her in said state.
Or something else I haven't thought of, in all likelihood.
I don't have a clue where the brother fits in to all of this.

It makes no sence... Dani Absolutely; if they can afford Germany they can afford Croatia (what's Prussian about it by the way?) GV has very good reasons to avoid Croatia at present but as his enthusiasm for filming there was specifically about it being there I doubt the prospect of Faux Croatia in Germany would have much appeal. Easier surely to have Faux Croatia on a film lot - or, more likely, have faux Croatian interiors, and if the brother is visiting the US they aren't going to need many of them.

i'm just speculating here, but in this one as well as in other previous episodes (the spoilers for these episodes,that is) there've been a number of "almost" car accidents involving abby and joe. i'm not taking this as a hint of what's going to happen but i'm also considering it an option. a car crash invloving drunk abby and/or joe/luka. just a though

If there is the case, she will realize that her husband wasn't there for her... so why stay married ?
I like more your second idea...
God, I hope not...
By this point. i see now what an article said about Luka having the most important paper, even in a few episodes...

Abby needs to pull herself up by the boot straps and find the strength to deal with it on her own. I doubt if they will have her go so far as a rehab situation. Carter did it but it was over a summer hiatus. They will need Maura too much for the show's sake at this point. My hope is that she will find that strength and THEN have Luka home for good. Actually a reappearance of her dad might be more of a help than Luka. WOnder if there are plans to bring Fred Ward back. He semmed to be stuck on last season for no real reason, didn't he?

Could be a storyline and would be interesting, but I think they main goal here is Luka loving Abby the way she is. I do think we'll see things like she should have trusted him on the first time around, carter and Luka facing each other about it. They can answer questions about than and now. It's a storyline that takes it all past, present and future! Just an opinion

I agree; being able to manage alone with tough stuff doesn't make ones SO an irrelevance. Abby presumably didn't marry Luka because she thought he was going to protect her from herself wrt the drinking, as I'd hope she would know he could do no such thing.

I think larue might be onto something... Abby has reconciled with her mother...but not really her father and her hesitation at the alter still plays on my mind. Maybe she needs a family intervention and mum,dad and hubby (with brother in tow)all turn up...I know pretty far flung.

VERY far flung. Sally Field is busy with her own series. Doubt if she will be back. Besides, Eddie said Maggie got mad and hung up on him when he was talking to her about Abby and Eric. Besides, if she is horrified to find herself at Moretti's not knowing how she got there, I hardly think an 'intervention' is needed. What she will be needing is some support for the care and keeping of Joe while she figures out how to deal with this on her own. If they bring Eddie back - even if he is ill - Abby would have a diversion from her own frustrations, someone to help her out with Joe....and enable her to work thorough the 'abandonment' issues. Dang! What I would give for a chance to write some of those scripts!!! LOL

But I think her family's multiple issues, instead of Abby's issues, would become the focus in a family intervention. In this case, maybe the "family" should be people she is close to at work.
