Well, rumour has it we'll either see Chell in Half-Life 2: Episode 3 or something along those lines
I seriously doubt it. Portal 2 takes place hundreds of years after Half-Life 2.
Along the same lines, I wouldn't really want Wheatley back, either.
Sorry, but on this I COMPLETELY disagree ^^
Chell's story has been told: she fought hard and got her happy ending.
But Wheatley is in Limbo. He is not dead, but he is restless because he feels genuine guilt and regret over his evil actions, and wishes to apologize and atone. As an ending for the character himself (as opposed to the whole game's ending, which I LOVED), imo that's extremely unsatisfactory: it's not even sad, in and of itself, it just feels incomplete to me.
I'd LOVE to see a continuation of his story where he is retrieved from Space and helps out the protagonist of Portal 3 as a way to make up for his betrayal of Chell.
Wheatley's Redemption Arch. I want to play that with every fiber of my being.
