Why can't Abby be happy, for pete's sake

I think that abby makes a really good job on the serie, she is a great actress, she makes the show interesting. she is unhappy because she is with Luka kovac!, she needs to be with carter! I think that abby/carter is better than carter/kem or abby/luka. you need to make more interesting the show, not by killing almost all the characters, show more the personal lives of the characters not only the county!

Abby is not un-happy because of Maura Tierney! Maura is an amazing actress! I've seen her in other movies where she've played happy.
I love Abby. She's the best character that ER's ever had! She is what makes me love the show!
And she is better with Carter (sorry all Luby-fans, but that's just the way it is!). But I really hope that she gets happy, she deserves it (even if she's with Luka). Please, let her baby survive!

I always did like Abby. When she originally appeared, she was an O.B. nurse. Then she's an R.N. in the er. Never did quite understand how that transition was made- kinda hokey.
But Abby was always sensitive to others' feelings; always remained supportive to her exes (except her husband) and they remained friends.
I do have to say that the last couple of seasons have been too much about Abby. I agree- she shouldn't be the lead. Those episodes with her mother and then her brother- I just didn't like them.
Agreed- not enought depth.
And, I'm sorry, I never did like the Sam character. It was like the writers couldn't decide whether she was tough and independent or scared and putting up the front of being tough. Get rid of her.

The whole series is like "Book of Job: The TV Show!

Abby is one of the WORST characters to ever appear in a lead role on ER.

She has no depth. She only plays mournful and bitchy and I'm tired of her.

She's the chief reason why I didn't watch ER in Season 12, and the only reason why I watched the season finale is on the off chance that the show has gotten wise and will finally get rid of her.

Alas, I hear from the rumor mill that she's still on board.

She just as bad as Michael Michelle ever was.

i personally love abby...and maura tierney plays her well...wouldn't you look sad if all these twisted things had happened in your life..and she does have her happy times...as for neela and ray, if she can't have michael might as well give her ray...I think he loves her at any rate. I really wish carter and abby would have stayed together. oh well life goes on.

I personally love Abby, I think she is wonderful. Granted the show does focus on her a bit much, so I do agree that its needs to focus on others more and have a more rounded out cast.

~ I didn't know she had an abortion, but I was out of the loop for a few episodes here and there.
~ I do hope that her and the baby are alright. I hate it when children die.
~ I miss Hathaway. Any notice that Luca has a thing for nurses? lol (Hathaway, Sam, Abby)

Yes, Abby had an abortion. No, she didn't bother to tell her husband. Yes, I'm sick of her.

I used to be able to watch ER because there were others worth watching and I could ignore her. Now, she seems to be center of the show.

And don't plead with Wells to give Abby happy storylines, according to the latest interview with Tierney in Newsday, the blame is entirely the actress's fault.

""ER" writers are at executive producer John Wells' house in Hawaii right now, "arcing" out the next season. Any predictions or hopes for Abby?

Part of me wants her to fall off the wagon, because we've never really seen that.... Imagine me, passed out, with the baby in the crib. That happens, and it would be fun for me. But I don't know if they're gonna go for it or not."

Please get rid of this character and salvage what's left of ER's dignity.

Where have I been? When did Abby have an abortion? We didn't see that on the show. I know she was thinking of doing that with Luka's baby. It must have happened in her past. Oh well I hope Luka somehow breaks out of the stretcher and gets free so they can Finally end up happy, I love Maura Tierney, is it me or is Sam alot like Abby? Linda Cardellini is so good as Sam but her scarcasm and wit remind me of a younger Abby. Any one else see the similarities?

Abby wasn't happy when Carter was her boyfriend even though he was young, rich and handsome. She's not happy now that she's banging Luka again. She's not happy now that she has a 2nd chance at having a child after her abortion.


Just get rid of her!


Give Luka someone worthwhile.


Bring Carter back for one last episode with Kem.


And Give Neela to Ray.


And let's end the show. There's nothing new here.
