Drama isn't good if it requires undoing whole characters and their development to get it. TDAS is another story, here in TDWT it also happened with a lot of people. Courtney is not an exception. She was doing totally fine in the first half until being betrayed by Duncan and Gwen. In a romance that had scant buildup and little logic on a whole. Yeah, Duncney was falling apart, and should have broken up. But Gwuncan really doesn't have much more meat on it than Zoke. Why? Because it's mostly based on how they look together, and had comparably less interaction and buildup than either Gwent or Duncney. Most of the buildup was the accusation they had an attraction to each other. Something that was not true until the TDA special. After the guy quit, they had no interaction at all until he showed up and then they're a couple. Gwen would never commit such an act if she were at all like her TDI self. And Courtney was rebounding from TDA just fine until that all happened and unraveled them both. They've been on a downward spiral ever since. And that's not worth that drama, that's just a total lack of character consistency.
