Whilst I know that the writers can pull anything they want out of their rears I still can't get my head around Luka losing another child. My reasoning self revolts against the idea, especially as Abby can't have any more children. It seems gratuitously cruel.

Got this Spoiler out of AEB
AND...wait for it....Abby's father. Yeah, it's not enough that we'll get a big dose of Maggie, but now we get Daddy Drama, too.
His name is Jim, he's in his early 60's, and is rugged and cowboyishly handsome. He claims to be visiting a sick friend in the hospital, but is ill himself. Abby's drawn to him and tries to help him with his illness that he's neglecting (unspecified). She gets drunk with him one night and he tells her that he's her father. It's for an unspecified number of episodes, so I'm guessing it will be the bulk of the season, like Maggie in season 7.
Because of this AEB is Speculating that the baby dies and that Luby is Finished!! I'm petrified here
Does Anyone have a clue when the spoilers for 13.03 are coming out I'm GOING CRAZY!!!!!!!!

:(Wow....new spoilers out already??? I thought they didn't start popping up until filming starts again sometime in July. Hmm...intrigued with the thought of meeting Abby's father but not too crazy about the falling off the wagon bit. Me thinks Maura loves to do the drunk bit. I just watched 'Forces of Nature' again and she has a bit in that where she is hitting the bottle. LOL And once again.....TPTB better NOT mess with my Luby!  |

OMG, I can't believe it.  I'm so fed up with Abby's family. This is the last straw: Abby's father coming from nowhere and getting drunk with her. I can't stand more angst and unhappiness for Luka and Abby. TPTB can't let ANYTHING happen to the baby. Please, Larue, tell me I'm overreacting!! |

Didn't maura say that she wanted Abby to fall off the wagon in one of the interviews on here, I wandering if someone has read that and has mis-read it?

No this is the real deal; as I understand it from what I've been reading on other boards this is from casting specs sent out to recruit new characters.
That said a lot can happen between the original idea for a character (what we have now) and scripts and between initial script and what ends up on the screen.
As a general rule I'm less bothered about what they do than about how they do it. Right now I want very much for Abby to be of some help and support to Luka rather than wallowing in relapse.
I don't care if her father turns out to be Hugh bloody Heffner; unless they use this to make her realise that she's the parent (the real parent - not the pseudo parent she was as a child) and a partner I'm going to be impatient with watching this. Enough of her family.

I can't stand more angst and unhappiness for Luka and Abby. TPTB can't let ANYTHING happen to the baby. Couldn't have put it better myself Zelda. I'm so sick of Abby's family and just when I was really liking Abby herself too. If her getting drunk means something has happened to the baby then I'm going to find it hard to keep on watching. Luka has lost too much already to go through that again and we know Abby can't have any more children. I don't want it all hearts and flowers and sickly sweet, but I just want a little bit of happiness for them. |

oh bugger! I was kinda hoping that Abby didn't but I guess I can understand it alittle with all that has happened. I'm too sick of all of Abby's family, surely there could have been one 'normal' family member! Still I guess we will have to wait and see come the start of the new season, for us Brits thats sooooooo far away.

You are right...they should stop with all the Abby's family drama...we've had enough of it and I think it will be enough for us in season 13 with Maggie. Besides, it will be very similar to when Kerry met his mother on season 11.

Ok the only thing thats bothering me is the baby dies and thats the end of Luby!! I swear if TPTB do that thats it! I'm going to kick some butt!  Also with Abby's father coming... It might be interesting to finally meet him, but ok, enough with Abby's family. No other character had this much against with their family, well maybe Benton, but thats it. I'm only asking for Abby and Luka to stay together, and the baby is ok. I mean with all the stress Abby has gone through with the baby, maybe she just wanted to go let some steam off. That is AFTER the baby comes home!! Ugh!!  |

Remember that AEB is just SPECULATING that Luby finishes and the baby dies. As a lot of you guys said, it would be very similar to what happened to Carter and Kem, and I don't think they will repeat the story.
And if that happens, I will stop watching the series!!!(I'm not promising anything)
I think that Abby is just upset fot her baby's health.

I am having a bit of a quandry here. Abby going to a bar with a patient The spoilers indicate that he tells her he is her father after they get drunk together?? Too wierd for me. And I agree totally with the desire expressed that the writers think about the fun part of Luby. The scenes from 'Spilt Decisions' and the nursery scene from '21 Guns' were SO much fun to watch. Sheesh. I could totally see Luby angst being Luka running to the market in the middle of the night because they are out of diapers....both of them exhausted at work after dealing with a teething baby at home.....trying to find a few free minutes to be together....running up to the hospital daycare to spend a few minutes with the Lubylet....AND returning ER to the patients they deal with rather than family....sigh. |

I think Jim finds her in the bar, not that she goes there with him.

Ahhhh....thank you for clarifying that point. Now I KNOW I am going to have to start weaning myself away from the show. Sigh. I have no interest in a drunken Abby story line again....I think. I quit watching 'Grey's Anatomy' when they took the side trip with George and Meredith with no real problem. Haven't watched it since. Twelve years of 10 pm Thursday NBC viewership may be a little tougher.  |
