More simply than that Talbot always loved Betty but she rejected him for Bruce 15 years ago. Talbot got married and had a kid, but never forgave Bruce for stealing his true love. That hatred has only grown over the years as Bruce turned into the Hulk and ran away but Betty still loves him.
I guess they could still salvage it to an extent,(Talbot's family dies and he reconnects with Betty in his grief) but I think they have no intention of bringing him into a Hulk movie.They had their chance before but used Samson instead.(I was thankful for all the stuff they cut out of that film,so it looked more like she just started dating him and not his live in lover of several years.)
It's really a made to order storyline for a movie.How many SH films have triangles that are pretty weak?Hulk's was one of the ones that actually worked.It's a human story everyone can relate too.Given that they struggle to give Banner an antagonist beyond Ross,it's a wasted opportunity to say the least.And it costs nothing in CGI $ to boot.
