On General Hospital, why does Tracy chase after Luke? He loves Laura. Why do the writers let her be degraded?

I know what you mean. Tracy does not play 2nd fiddle to anyone. She is her own woman and she would have thrown Luke out on his years ago for the crappy way he's treated her. I hate it when writers take an otherwise strong and intelligent woman and make her a slave to love. It is degrading. Besides that, Luke doesn't seem to really fit w/anyone else, in my eyes. For me, Luke and Laura will always be the supercouple of all supecouples. I wish they'd bring Laura back for good or send Luke off to live w/her off-screen. Even though I've always though Luke and Tracy are fun/funny together, I've never really liked them as a couple.
