Harold and Heather

This article focuses on the interactions between Harold and Heather.

Overview
Despite their minimal interaction in Total Drama Island, the two develop negative views towards each other. Heather is revolted by Harold's geeky habits, while Harold shares everyone else's dislike for her cruelty and bossiness. However, in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, the two are forced to become partners, after everyone else had formed teams, where Harold becomes more understanding of Heather after she shares information about her past. Their time together is short-lived, with Heather betraying him after he outlives his usefulness.

In Total Drama Action, both are placed together on the Screaming Gaffers, where they interact a lot more. While they have many moments where they can't stand each other, they also have moments of pure friendship. Harold, among others on the team, is generally annoyed by Heather's bossiness and Heather often considers Harold nothing more than an annoying geek, they seem to get along with her more consistently than the others.

In Total Drama World Tour, the two have a minimal amount of interaction due to the two of them being placed on different teams, and Harold's early elimination. However, their lack of conflict does become key during the final challenge of the season, as Harold chooses to side with Heather (since his friend Cody was eliminated) and help her in the final challenge to attempt to achieve victory over Alejandro, whom he had a greater conflict with. In Heather's ending, Harold, along with most of the other contestants, cheers when Heather defeats Alejandro.

Seeing the finish line in sight, Heather tries to cut Harold's tether to prevent him from winning, but while her back is turned a low hanging branch snags her top off. Heather looks down to see her breasts are exposed, and screams while covering herself up. Harold, who got a full view of Heather's breasts, loses focus and crashes into a rock, costing the team the challenge.

When the cast begins to split up into teams, all of the campers find partners, except for both Heather and Harold. At first, Heather refuses to team up with Harold, but as she becomes extremely desperate for a partner, she reluctantly agrees to take him, only on the condition that he would not talk to her. She is militant about this rule, often shutting him up once he starts to talk. Once Harold manages to steal away the brief case from Owen, Tyler, DJ, and Cody, which Heather is impressed by. However, Heather betrays him and kick Harold in the groin with the case, and took off on his hand glider by herself, effectively breaking their alliance, but while in mid-air, the glider falls apart and Heather falls head-first into a beaver dam. Harold just looks down in disappointment, saying the hand glider was not his best work (rather than showing any concern for Heather's well being).

After some time, Harold rows next to Heather in a canoe, who is once again alone, and tells him to go away. Harold says that Heather does not need to be so mean, which is why no one wanted to partner with her. Heather tearfully admits to Harold that she never wanted to be the person everyone hates, and Harold seems to empathize with her. He offers her a ride back to camp, due to the fact that the beavers, which attacked her earlier, are still out to get her, and wonders if the two will be friends after the show is over.

Harold chooses not to, saying, "Sounds like an interesting read." While trying to get the vault open, Harold and Heather fought several times. They first argued over how to open it, which resulted in the both of them getting into a slap fight. Then, Heather fought with Harold by wrapping her arms around his neck and putting him in a chokehold, and him reaching up and sticking two fingers into her mouth. Lastly, when Heather thinks about combinations that would be important to Chris and would probably open the safe, Harold imitates a game show buzzer each time she guesses wrong, and Heather orders him to stop. They later call each other pathetic when Heather tries to pick the lock with a bobby pin, and continue fighting until the Killer Grips free Owen before they could open it, at which point Duncan tells them both that continuing to try to free Leshawna would be an even greater waste of time, since they don't need her or the props stashed in the safe to rob a bank. When Duncan starts to break Harold's deodorant, Heather tells him that there are limits, as she didn't want Harold to smell disgusting.
