Why can't Abby be happy, for pete's sake?
by Richard Keller, TV Squad
Abby Lockhart has become the new Mark Greene.
As fans of the long-running ER know, Dr. Greene (Anthony Edwards) had some of the worst luck and unhappiness in the emergency room staff of County General. First, his wife leaves him, then he gets beaten up in the ER bathroom by a unknown assailant. Both his mother and father die in the same year, he's diagnosed with a brain tumor (which was successfully removed), his daughter feeds his newborn child Escasty, his brain tumor comes back, and he dies while in Hawaii. Needless to say, the man had no luck.
And now Abby (Maura Tierney) looks like she's wearing the albatross around her neck. Well, actually, she's been wearing it for several seasons now. It began when she was kicked out of medical school after her ex-husband failed to pay her tuition. Then, she had a rough set of relationships with Doctors Luka Kovac and John Carter. Her bi-polar mother stop taking her meds and her brother was diagnosed with the same mental disease as her mother. Last season she was kidnapped by a drug dealer who wanted Abby to treat an injured comrade.
This season we had some hope that Abby's life was returning around. Now ensconced as an ER doctor she resumed her relationship with Luka and is pregnant with his child. As the final episode of the season began there was talk from Kovac about getting married. However, Abby's fortune turned on her again as she was injured during a emergency room shootout between police and prisoners. As the episode faded into black we saw Abby, pregnant and bleeding, collapsed on the ground while a bound-up Luka watched from a dark treatment room.
Come. On. For once, can't Abby have some happiness in her life? Something that will carry her into the next year? She's gotten crapped on by so many, and she has crapped on others as well, that it would be nice for her to have some stability. So, I plead with John Wells and the other executive producers of ER to have Luka escape, save Abby, produce a beautiful baby, and have some well-deserved peace.
Oh, and one more thing . . . SAVE JERRY!
