Ross likes (or liked now) living life to the full and "screw the consequences", whereas Debbie had to live carefully for her children.

It was so obvious that, had Kate Oates stayed in the show and Charley Webb not go on maternity leave, Ross and Debbie would have worked through this and found that lifestyle balance.

Now, I've just typed this up. Maybe this was the end story for Kate. Maybe when she found out that Charley was going on maternity leave - she might have just thought she might as well leave. Unless Iain is thinking on the same lines as Kate. Maybe he is, maybe that's the reason Michael Parr isn't utilised as much this year. It could be Kate told him she knew Ross was getting heavily commented on featuring on a lot of storylines.
Yeah, I get what you're saying, on paper Ross and Debbie look great but IMO the chemistry is missing.
