Now coming to your question, I guess I can refer to "sweep it under the carpet" replies because like you many of us have the same query!! Why this? Why that?...the fact is...the writers seem to have lost the passion for the show, sadly. It may be just my misconception but where as every episode was a delight to watch, nowadays we are lucky to get one good episode from start to end, just once a week. Yes we do get some lovely scenes that are sentimental and classic SGP style but they are not seen very everyday. Such a shame. They ended OBS in a haste, I just hope that they give good, rational conclusions to SGP before its expires!
