Romeo and Juliet have got nothing on Miranda Warriner and Luke Charnock. Although every sign seems to point to these lovers' fated union, a series of increasingly insurmountable obstacles seem to be conspiring to keep them apart -- many of which stem from the misdeeds of Miranda's late husband Ralph.
