Considering the proximity of Gordon and Helene any chance of the Fujiwara effect happening and if it did would it throw the models off on future path of Helene?

No, as they are not that close to each other, as they are 946 miles apart right now. The extreme limit for Fujiwhara, requiring two strong and good sized intense systems is about 900 miles. That distance would need to be at least halved before you could even think about an interaction, and with Gordon accelarating away in about 36 hours, that seems unlikely.
