User blog comment:MrQuest17/Theory: TDROTI Cast really second half of Gen 1!/@comment-25285054-20161031202258

I disagree. I think all 3 sets of characters are still their own seperate entities, it's just that the writing decisions in TDPI did not call for cameos. Yes, the ROTI cast interacts with the first gen more than the TDPI cast- because they're differently written seasons. The TDPI characters are more unrealistic than before and unlike most of the rest of the series, but that doesn't make them not Total Drama characters.

Also, yes, the TDPI hasn't interacted with the 1st gen-neither did the ROTI cast until Al-Stars, a season dedicated to merging the two groups. TDPI hasn't had the change yet.

Besides, if we go by this logic, you might as well say the entire RR castis a part of Gen 1 because Geoff Owen and Noah appeared.
