So your nickname for it is "delight"? :parrot:
Masterpiece:
I wouldn't refer to Jeph as "it" but you still made me crackle with laughter.

Yes. Yes to all. Jeph could not have done it better.
ZoeB:
There is one hurdle though.
The logic of Narrative Necessity.
Would QC be QC if Marten got into a stable "and they all lived happily ever after" situation? Would QC be able to carry on with its emotional dramas if the main character essentially bowed out from the emotional melodrama? I think it would, but it would be a catastrophic (as in sudden discontinuity) change of direction.
I would like to see Marten actually win first prize, after all the poor guy's been through over the years. For that matter, I'd like to see all the characters eventually win big. Hanners healed, Marigold out of her shell... but unless new characters are introduced, that would be the end of QC.
Some Soap Operas manage it. The departure of Ena Sharples did not mean the death of "Coronation Street" though it was never the same again.
BTW one of the few series older than "Dr Who"...
