Looking back at both TDWT & TDAS just feel like the so-called friendship between these two characters was obviously forced. In the third season of the series, it's understandable why the writers forced it. They did so to add unnecessary drama to the God awful love triangle that broke out in world tour. I mean did the writers ever intend for them to really be friends at all? Then comes season five with the constant bull about them being best friends. The writers try to make it seem like these girls knew each other for years or something. In world tour, they were in the beginning stages of becoming friends or as Courtney would put it "friendish" hmmm... I personally never cared for their interactions simply because it took away from Gwen's other Friendships. (Like her friendship with LeShawna, Bridgette, Geoff just to name a few) Thoughts, anyone?
