If anywhere, I'd say Mars is the least likely to have a gap - it seems able to get public interest (such as it is) in a way that Venus and Mercury don't, and it's a relatively benign environment.

The most likely "gap" is, I suspect, Mercury - very easy to argue there's not much payoff from sending another orbiter, and a relatively short lifespan once you get there.
