As for who to rush to well she was alone in that cell with him so i would assume they became friends and as he was the one dying it makes sense to rush to him. Also as for stiles trying to be his friend no one really tried to be boyds friend unless they needed something from him even the scene explaining how the kid was in rotc was mainly stiles trying to get info from him. I also thing isaac has more to do with screen time than development. To me his character hasnt really grown besides his relationship with allison.

The stage was set at the end of S2, when Boyd and Erica ran away together, and according to various Q&A's they were supposed to be developed as a couple in S3a. But that obviously was aborted when Gage left the show. Most people assume that Cora and Boyd had the beginnings of a relationship, having been imprisoned together. Plus, she was willing to attack Aiden in revenge, which was a really bad idea.

You may forget when Boyd came back to school after the whole fiasco, and Stiles greeted him in a friendly way, and Boyd's response was like: "I would have told you, except, we're not actually friends." and then Boyd just walked away. Seriously, Lydia could not manage a brush off that cold!

We all have our frustrations with Isaac. I myself find it annoying that Danny remains undeveloped as a character, despite having been on the show since the very beginning, but Isaac has been given so much screentime. But I think that breaking Scott and Allison up was one of Jeff's ways of stirring the pot, and also, a lot of her exposition and action scenes in S3a required that she have someone with her, and Scott was otherwise occupied. Some of this may be due to the fact that they also had to compensate for Colton leaving to go to Arrow, thus removing Jackson from the main characters.
