That poetic side was forced by the Writers, especially in TDA (like the pathetic play in Riot on the Set) to the point it was no more realistic to see Duncan in this way.

Given Courtney's personality she would have probably overreacted the same but also she would have given up on him immediately focusing 100% on the game just to give Duncan and Gwen a lesson. This would have sucked the same, but at least it would have spared us the pathetic tragedy cry in Greek Pieces and more so her stupid attempts to make Duncan jealous flirting with Tyler in Ex Files. Courtney is mean and stubborn, but I think that being told the truth directly could have made her accept it eventually, instead of the BACKSTAB she received all of sudden, that sure would make everyone yell to the Revenge.

I don't think so. Since TDI in universe Duncan is more popular and appreciated than Courtney, also she made herself even less likable than first Heather in TDA...if the opposite would have happened, Courtney would have been addressed as New Heather the same as Gwen in TDWT.
