Not everyone believes that a "surprise" pregnancy (hey, you never know
with Luka) a month after getting back together is the best basis for a
long-term relation****p. Or that it makes for a highlight in the
history of TV romance. Particularly when no issues from former years
are ever discussed. One could very easily make the case that these two
aren't so much deeply in love, but their biological clocks were
ticking and they saw a chance to make a go for it, and choose to have
amnesia about what happened before.

The truth is that ratings have gotten low for the show during this
storyline. It is not exactly winning new viewers.
