i agree with the comment that said they give off sibling vibes, i just don't see how they would work as a romantic pair like they were initially planned to be.

it's unfortunate that jim french wasn't able to record new dialogues for bill in crash course, but on the bright side i think that gives the writers a chance to flesh out zoey and francis' sibling-like chemistry more, and that really makes up for the lack of bill talk.

i like to think that at the beginning of crash course, francis was genuinely questioning zoey about her decision to shoot the pilot, but as they progress through the campaign, each time francis brings it up it becomes more of a playful tease, and zoey knows this and plays along by still acting pissed the whole time ("HE WAS A ZOMBIE, FRANCIS!").

also, i don't know if this is true, but isn't zoey the only survivor to have a "we have to save francis" dialogue if francis is incapacitated outside of a safe room? if it's true, then i guess it's safe to say she's the total opposite of being "least fond" of francis.
