I have noticed that the baby is not on the show anyone know why.

The baby's birth got big ratings for the show, so now that they've run out of diaper jokes, my guess is they returned the baby to the prop department with Ross's son Ben.

My sister just had a baby four months ago, and she can't help but marvel at how Rachel is able to work eight hours, loiter at Central Perk all day and Monica's all night and never have to feed and change her daughter.

;)

let alone, phoebe who has no real work can still afford an apartment in NYC

thats what always seems to happen babies or HECK even family members disappear

Maybe they're keeping her out of the picture because Rachael will probably hook up with Joey, and since the baby is Ross' the story gets a little complicated(and they kind of did that story already), and Emma reminds a lot fans of the "Ross and Rachael" thing.

I have a better question, what the heck happened to Ross' first child, Ben I believe? Is Ross a bad parent and doesn't spend time with his son anymore now that he has Emma?

Well, judging from how many times we have seen Ross with Ben I would say he is a bad parent. I think the writers want us to assume that Ross and Rachel spend time with their children but they just don't want to include it in the episodes.

new episode, still no mention of emma, or even ben..and phobe sold out..whoa

You think Rachel will take her on that trip in the season finale? I'm betting she won't!! :)

How long has it been since Ben was on the show? Was it the episode with Sting's wife last season?

Okay, you guys have some points but what about the nanny episode? TOWT Nanny? Ross and Rachel have one remember. But what really happened was that the writers needed a big boost so they made Ross and Rachel pregnant! Then after they got that big boost they didn't know how to put the little family in the picture anymore so they, so called "took Emma out of the picture."
And the whole thing with Ross's child Ben who knowes for all we know they might have killed him off!:lol:

They also have forgotten about Pheobes three babies. Where are they now? no mention of her brother or sister anymore. :confused:

True, but that comes back to what i was saying before! If a show needs an audience boost they are going to do something big! When Poebe had her brothers triplets they were needing more of an audience! So they did that got it over with and then took them out of the picture. But if you think about it, Pheobe's brother was really never in the picture anyways! lol

I hadn't really noticed that Emma wasn't in the new episodes. She was in that one where Monica and Chandler were babysitting, and they went back in to the bedroom, "to you-know" and Joey came in and heard Monica and Chandler and he took the baby, and then when they came out they noticed that Emma was gone. Wasn't that a pretty new episode?:confused:

Oh hun, where have you been? Have you been watching the show at all? That episode was like I want to say 7 or 8 weeks ago. It's been awhile! Sorry:(

Jeez guys. It's only on a half an hour a week. I'd rather see the stories going on than see Rachel sitting on the chair feeding the baby. You know she exists, it is implied to know that the baby spends time with both her parents.

Ben lives with Carol and Susan. It is probably implied that Ross has some sort of visitation rights, just as many other divorced parents and Ben just isn't used in the storylines.

So true Nanny, its only a fragment of a week. At the same time though I think people are noticing that there are no signs of baby stuff in Joey's apartment anymore. stuff like that.
Even tonights eppy, when Charlie asked Rachel if she had plans and Rachel couldn't think of an excuse! well HELLO? how about " I gotta take care of Emma"!!!! hehe. Little things like that. Your right though can't get too nick picky.:wink2: :)

Yeah, I found it interesting how they gave Ross and Rachel a child but yet we hardly ever see Ross with Ben.

Well as for the excuse I'd never say "I have to take care of my daughter" as a reason for doing or not doing something. It's just a given that it happens. I would feel stupid saying that!

Gee, I thought I was the only one to notice this. It seems that Rachel is still able to do everything she used to do before she 'had Emma'. I know it's just a show but at least the writers can be a little more realistic. Then again, these are the same writers that can say that all the friends can afford their own apts in Manhattan and that just the 6 of them hang around ALL THE TIME. Even I don't hang out with my friends all the time. And when I went to Europe last year, did I bring my friends? NO! But I still like the show. Just some beefs about certain things.:crazy: :crazy:

Oh yeah, one more thing. Has anybody else noticed that whenever there's a birth on the show(Carol, Phoebe, Rachel), there is no sanitary practices in the hospital? Nobody's wearing masks or caps or in every case, Ross(w/Carol & Rachel) and Frank Jr.(w/Phoebe) weren't even told to put on scrubs. And all the people in the delivery room when Carol was having her baby!! Please! I'm surprised something was even said to them. No mask on Phoebe's doctor. I KNOW IT'S ONLY A SHOW BUT I JUST WISH THE WRITERS COULD BE MORE REALISTIC!!!! I'm surprised the doctors were wearing gloves!
