Were the writers thinking about building up something between Charles and Margaret and then just decided not to take it to a level beyond friendship?

Also after Frank, Donald, and then Scully, they figured that Charles would be just too much. Also Margaret had developed so much from those relationships, that any physical relationship with Charles would hurt that.

I did notice at first, Charles was seen and some of his lines were "Frank like" but it was soon dropped. Charles and Margret were great professional friends and were both too headstrong to be more than that, they would cancel each other out. Both would want to be the leader and would start too many fights, same reason Margret and Hawkeye didn't work out. Friends yes, lovers no.

There were moments of tension between them, but it was ultimately dropped. I think that's for the best. It allowed for more character development and a wider variety of stories, and there was no need to re-hash what they'd done with Frank. It would've been derivative, and less fitting given Charles' character, as well as Margaret's characterisation as the series progressed.

I recall in one of the first episodes with Charles Margaret complains she has something in her eye and when Charles offers to help her remove it she pulls in very close to him so they are barely 2 inches apart face to face.
