I am hoping for a happy Luby family but I totally disagree that losing the Lubylet would put them over the edge. They are both survivors and a shared tragedy like that might draw them even closer. Who knows?

To lose your family the way Luka did and all the angst he has been through to get to where he is now only to have it all torn away from him again would be shattering, there is only so much suffering a person can take before it can become to much, personally I would rather see him happy for once than going through what we have already seen him go through, again. Eventually it might draw them closer together but to get there would be a rocky road one that was have seen travelled before in different respects.

I totally agree with you. The writers....and I think even the actors....enjoy the angst and what they put US through. Happiness doesn't last long on 'ER' because we seem to lose all the characters that ARE happy. Doug and Carol....Mark.... SUSAN...are all good examples. I know that in some cases the actors wanted to leave their roles but.....especially in Susan's case, it was like they didn't know how to write happiness, contentment and joy. Maybe they will take a different tact with Luka and Abby. I hope so. You can have a lot of fun with new baby/new parent stuff....and we are proving it with some of the fan fictions that are being posted. I must add however that even fan fiction readers seem to be more enamored with the angst. I have written two Luby fics from different angles. The sad, morose one got WAY more hits - and comments - than the fun, happy ones. Go figure.

well....i think the writer's think that angst=drama, but drama can have a whole new meaning. They can make things go bad, but then somehow, they get back on track, but the writer's like to see us disappointed in what will happen next.

[larue]

Disappointed?? SO true.....but if they keep it up they will lose even more viewers. Considering the promos I have been seeing on ABC, 'ER' is going to have some very formidable competition next fall. I honestly do not see the show making it through another year after this one. Kind of sad.

Yay..the baby's gonna survive

*dancing with joy in my chair at the moment!*

I think that this season of ER is going to be the best one yet and i believe that it will gain many viewers (I already hooked some of my teachers and classmates by giving a speech about ER). I think we will see an uprising in ER!

[PiperxoxLeo]

At least we know baby Joe survives so that's the main thing...now, roll on the sound of wedding bells! I wonder if they will get married....I'd like to see that.

This episode now titled "Somebody to Love"

Episode 13.3 - "Somebody to Love" Deedee at ER Forums gives more scoop -

Director: Stephen Cragg Workdates: 8/7-8/16 : There's another recurring guest star, and a Mary Sue at that. Her name is Hope Bobeck, and she's an ER intern who's "adorable, innocent, sincere, lovely" and very religious on top of all that. Most of the guys in the ER have crushes on her. [No age/look specified, but I bet she's a twentysomething blonde. ] Unspecified number of episodes.

In smaller roles, there's also a recurring male ER intern who's quirky looking (in an way they haven't yet decided) and a little off-kilter. There are also a couple of possible recurring surgical residents, both colorless and dull. There's the standard number of random crazies as patients, most with no more than a few lines.

Main plot: There's a dying African-American guy around 70 or so who is torn between being loyal to his long-term gay partner (John Mahoney) and the long-estranged family who didn't know until now about his sexual orientation. John Mahoney's character's name is Bennett Cray, for anyone who's wondered.

More spoilers ! From Daisy at AEB


Baby's doing well.

He's starting to hold his head up.

This is good, isn't? This Daisy loves babies, but has no clue about them!

Sam wants to talk to Luka about the shooting.

The hadn't talk about it yet.

Luka says it was not her fault, and if it wasn't for her, he would be dead.

Alex's seeing a shrink, but won't talk with her.

Luka offers to talk to Alex, Sam declines, says Luka has enough problems on his own.

Sam tells Luka she's fine.

Luka tells her to not blame herself. What she had to do was self-defense.

Morris and his convertible!

He's the greatest American hero!

The new interns are Hope, Solomon and Gates.

Luka, Pratt and Ray show them around.

Hope prays for the patients and bonds with them. That means she learns everything that

there's to learn about their sad lives!

Who was the sweetheart here who called that Kerry Weaver would go back to ER as an

attending? She was right!

Kerry's happy being back to ER, says it's the first time in a long time she's back to

doctoring and only doctoring.

But Kerry Weaver's still our beloved ER bitch! Pratt tells the new folks she's very

experienced and she asks if he's calling her a fossil. Yay!

Oh, it was you, sweetheart?

Yes, Kerry's back to ER, but she's a bit out of the game, some rules changed.

Haleh says she liked it better when Weaver was on charge.

Yes, Hope's very religious. I would say Christian, but this Daisy is Jewish and knows

nothing about the Christian brands.

Aw, more baby info!

Abby's strolling him along the river and Neela meets her.

Abby's not happy Morris came along.

Morris' 'offended', say it's Aunt Archie. Awww.

Neela thinks the baby's cute.

Morris thinks baby looks like Luka.

Pratt and Gates hate each other guts.

It's serious kids!

They are going to kill each ohter.

Or they will make up!

Ray thinks Hope's hot. Kerry's disgusted because he's... a dog.

Our Morris' brave, though.

He wants to go on a date with Hope.

She asks if he has accepted Jesus as his savior. He says he thought about it, but he's

lying, kids!

Hope sets their date... during her bible group.

Neela's still living at Abby's old apartment. At night, she watches TV, drinks a beer and

watches a photo of Gallant.

So Ray thinks Hope is "hot" and is acting all horndoggy over her.

So much for all those Carby-flavored fics about his deep and deathless love for Neela.

I remember that girl from LA Law. She played Tonya Harding in a perfectly awful movie of the

week, and I have not heard anything of her since.

Sam's still living at Elliot's house.

She cries at night, while Alex sleeps.

Poor Sam!!!!

Abby and Luka are still living at his apartment.

At night, they watch baby Joe sleep between them.

What else, kids?

Gates, Pratt and Sam take care of the Bennet/Anderson case.

Gates lies to help Bennet, but he's still has a lot ot learn.

Pratt and Gates hate each other's guts!

Angela appears first in this episode.

An old delusional lady thinks Chuny is JLo! No!


When Morris tells Abby the baby looks like Luka, she replies that people say babies usually

look more like the father at first, and it's Nature's way so they are not insecure and kill

their parents.

Me thinks Abby's just jealous baby looks like daddy.

Don't you think the world needs more babies looking like Luka? I do!!!

My sweethearts, it's time for this Daisy to go.


I will let the other kids who know more about Medicine than me explain the details of this

sad, sad plot between the two gay lovers.

[lubylove]

Abby and Luka are still living at his apartment.

At night, they watch baby Joe sleep between them.

that is the CUTEST and BEST spoiler I have read for season 13 EVER!!!!!

MORE:

Abby and Luka are in bed near the end of the episode, exhausted and talking quietly but we don’t know what their conversation is about. But in the final montage, we see them in bed, with the baby sleeping between them, while they are awake, and Tony Bennett sings, “You may be king, you may possess the world and its gold….”
