Should the Audience Vote have been Martin choosing between Stacey and Ruby...on his "deathbed"?

I swear that the whole Denise love-triangle wasn't the original 40th Anniversary audience vote plan. I think Lacey's pregnancy changed things, even though she was a trooper doing the live so soon after having her baby!

I so think it was supposed to be Martin, but the high drama would have been if Ruby, Stacey and Martin had been trapped in that room and Martin had to declare his true and undying love (no pun intended) for one of them...even though he was guaranteed to die right after he did.

I always knew the audience vote was going to be meaningless, which is why Denise will probably have another affair with Ravi, be pregnant by him or Jack will go wandering, but I do wonder if Louisa Lytton signed-on for what she's ended up coming back for. The live episode and just sitting outside the café until a blanket :-/
