I liked Gwen and Courtney's interactions in World Tour when they were more allies than friends, but their friendship in All Stars was written in such an over the top way that it made them seem like life-long friends, when really they were barely friends to begin with. Plus, the plot of them going from friends to enemies and back already seems overused, so I'd rather see them venture on their own, if they are to come back to TD.

When it comes to a relationship, I don't think we'll be getting a gay couple in Total Drama, Gwentney or any other. TD is broadcast in dozens of countries, and in many of them this could become a problem. Relationships are mostly heavily focused on in Total Drama and their development normally spans several episodes,if not the entire season. This is very different from having a gay one-off character, in which case certain broadcasters could just remove either the scenes that feature said character or the episode altogether. In TD's case, such censorship could make the show unwatchable. For instance, in Russia, where the show is broadcast and has a decent fanbase (even a TD Wiki in Russian), positive portrayal of same-sex relationships on television is prohibited by state law, so Fresh TV could lose a broadcaster here.

If we are ever to get a gay relationship of sorts, I suspect if the writers make a new RR season, they could feature a team of "friends" and occasionally drop hints at romance between them, but they would have to be subtle. And subtlety is not a tool often used in kids' programming.
