I've just seen that it's on Channel 4 tonight and it appears to be a new episode. When did the new series start? And why is on a Saturday?

Have I missed much?

You haven't missed anything. The first episode was all about the ER battle to save Neela's life after the explosion you will find out the outcome of that in the first 10 secs of tonight's episode and setting the new boss Moretti up as a total jerk.

I still love it!

Did you think the camera-work was even more jerky than in previous series? It made me feel quite queasy.

Yes the camera work is worse. Or I'm getting old, not sure which

Darrell! Wot are you like? We've talked about this already, they're all going to bleed to death slowly in the dark from strangers who stab them in the stomach with a blunt butter knife.

Was really confused tonight.

I stopped watching during the Carter/Thandi Newton thing; Abby and Luca had split up I think. Caught a few when Sam with him. One where Sam's son ran away, NOW...

...two things - when did Abby and Luca get back together and have a baby, cos I did watch last seasons episode last week (or at least the last 10 mins of it) and Abby and Luca still just seemed 'friends' AND (gulp, think I might regret asking this) where is Sam's son?

Abby and Luca got together in the series before last. She was pregnant at the start of last series and got stabbed and it was very touch and go. But phew it all worked out (except luca got stalked by some mad geezer).

I don't know where Alex is either. Hopefully someone will enlighten us ...

I was wondering where Alex was too, particularly when Sam was get teary eyed about the dead boy - made me wonder if something had happened that I missed (my watching of the last season was a bit patchy, it clashed with too many other things)

sams son, Alex i think, is in a young youth place as he was becoming out of control and set their flat on fire. He saw sam kill his dad, who had taken them hostage with another inmate, it was during their seige where abbey got hurt during her pregnancy.

I am not loving this new series so far, I just cannot seem to "feel" for any of the new characters I don't like new boss Moretti, ginger whinger Morris, his GF Hope, Neela, Sam even Abby and Pratt.

I think I just pine for the good ole days with Doug, Carol, Mark and Peter.

What happened?

vitomum · 20/01/2008 09:41

actually, didn't abbey get preggers after a one off night of passion? then after a couple of episodes of toing and froing they decided to make a go of it. she nearly lost the baby after the hostage incident, but she and he were save - although she had to have a hysterectomy. (that was a really sad one)

i'm loving the new boss and i love morris too.

on balance i am still an er dovotee

Yes Sam killed Alex's dad. He raped her and Alex saw. But she got away with it (obviously or she wouldn't be here).

Yes Abby and Luca got together and she got pregnant very soon after which they were sort of lukewarm about initially but now pleased. They got married last series too and it was lovely. It was on the way back from the wedding that Neela's guitar-playing flatmate who was in love with her got run over and lost his legs. It was all her fault which is why she ended up getting crushed by the crowd

I'd not realised how totally OTT the storylines were last season

Yes Abby gave birth prematurely and baby nearly died, had emergency, untried (of course) treatment that saved his life. She had to have an emergency hysterectomy so can never have any more kids. Abbys nutty Mum Sally Field came when the baby was born and Abby realised by the time she left that she DOES really need her Mum after all in spite of everything.

Anyone else think that something is going on big time with Luca because he looked terribly serious when pulling away in the cab to go to Croatia and DIDN'T turn around to wave?

I loved Ray - crushed legs. Was really upset when that happened to him.

I am a die hard ER fan, will never stop watching as long as it is on but I have to admit it is not the same without Carter, but I do love Abby and Morris.
