You're acting like I ignored the serious problems that plagued the characters in AS. Yes, I'm aware of the controversy inflicted by the issues from Gwen, Sierra, Zoke, Cameron, and the like, and I do agree it is tiresome to keep using the same characters over and over again. But at the same time, that doesn't mean they're always going to keep ruining characters. And I would hardly call what happened to Heather, Alejandro, and Duncan in TDAS derailment. AS was horrible, but I personally couldn't care if they brought some of the originals back just to provide the connection to the earlier seasons.

And even if the writers are intent on bringing them back to the series, that doesn't mean they're going to ruin their characters. You're acting like they're going to keep writing Gwen and Courtney as inconsistent as ever. Have they done this on several occasions? Yes, but that doesn't mean they haven't listened to the fans' complaints they received after AS. So many people were frustrated what happened to both their characters, and the fact that they brought Noah and Geoff, of all people back in RR proves that they're actually listening to the fandom. So it would not really surprise me if they brought Gwen, Courtney, and any other character plagued by character inconsistency back for future seasons and redeem their characters. They're obviously not gonna keep writing them poorly as they have before considering that would just piss people off. Keep in mind, I also don't think it's wrong for some of you to be skeptical if future character derailments are to happen, but now that the show is aware of the backlash from AS, they're definitely listening to our concerns, so I'm positively not worried what happens to the original characters.
