If they were going to write out Elizabeth, I would have had her find out about Justin and Jackie, but around the same time learn she was terminally ill. That would have been very heartbreaking, all her conflicting emotions, and as she likely wouldn't want Philip to see her die, slowly easing herself out of his life.
Since they didn't do that, there were decades they could have brought her back, but the show was so focused on Philip as just Alan's son that they never explored any other avenues. There were times Philip would disown Alan or plot against him but even then they'd never really mention Philip having other family. I'm all for stories that present a close bond between an adoptive parent and child as soaps often do a terrible job with this type of relationship, but GL went all in...
Potter also should have worked much harder in finding a strong Jackie recast. Clearly they just didn't give a damn about Jackie.
