Well, that's just the common rumour going around when it comes to Chell and Half-Life, given some of the stuff for Half-Life now actively involves Aperture Science. Plus, we don't exactly know how long Chell was under, given the timer malfunctions and Wheatley never specifies how long it's been - just that it's longer than anticipated, I think?
As for Wheatley, I think he was a great character, but I don't know, I just felt that he got what he deserved, really. I just don't feel like there's an incredible amount to explore with him, now, and I think the joke of having the rather intelligent Stephen Merchant back to play the total idiot again would be kind of stale. I think the series - if it's going to continue - should just have GLaDOS as a constant. That said, I would love to be proven wrong, and if anyone could do it, Valve could.
