My memory is a little vague on this, but Livvie died off screen.  There was a whole storyline where Lucy was talking about ME's character being a vampire and vampires in Port Charles, and Sam looking like Livvie and Caleb came back and killed Alison and eventually died himself.  Alison's son Rafe was on the show and tested with Molly for awhile.  Long story short though, Livvie was retconned out of being Kevin's daughter and Kevin said all Lucy's talk about vampires was a delusion even though Caleb reappeared and was a vampire.  Idk, it didn't really make sense but the bottom line was that Livvie existed as Caleb's wife, but wasn't Kevin's daughter.

I am not sure why RC/FV thought it would be a good idea to take a major storyline from a failed soap onto the mother show.   PC was cancelled for a reason..  leave it alone.  I do think it was an attempt to tie up lose ends for those characters because it is the same universe, but it ended up with half the characters killed off and was just strange and I don't think anyone liked the story.

Hope Bauer.. a big mystery why they never brought her back with Alan on screen and a need for a Bauer matriarch. I really can't believe they never went there with recasting with whatsherface that Deas was paired with on SB and have a triangle of Buzz/Hope/Alan..not that I wanted to see that at all but since they seemed to have a hard on as Buzz actually being a capable foil to Alan. I know they aged AM so much that it would have been difficult to recast but Deas isn't that much older the the guy playing Frank , Ann Sward on ATWT was I think only 5 years older then Margaret Colin who played her daughter.

Inidia and Alan-Michael. India never came back after the ex wives club sadly. Saddened such a complex character as A-M never returned, nor did his grandfather Mike Bauer. 

Rita Stapleton, especially that it may have been implied she was pregnant when she left town. 

Selena

Claire Ramsey

Harley Cooper and Ross Marler

I don't believe Mamie returned when John Abbott died either - a big missed opportunity to have the rightful Mrs. Abbott (Mamie) plot to take down the new Mrs. Abbott (Gloria) with the help of her nemesis, the former Mrs. Abbott (Jill).

Dru's death, Olivia and Malcolm's exit, Neil's death. Several Abbott family weddings. That is one character that could have had multiple return opportunities, but for whatever reason, did not, to the absolute detriment of the show.

    • MVJ seems to be cognizant that Leslie and Eva are true breakouts for this show:

    • Yesterdays episode was a great lead in the fireworks for today.  It is a shame that Naomi and Jacob are not there and Nicole's best friend Vanessa and Doug.I am interested to see the fallout from this.  I do think that Eva is Ted and Nicole's daughter.
    • Okay, I hear ya. But, you know Josh Griffith on one Thursday night fired 7 or 8 writers in one fell swoop! That totally blew my mind. But, I still think this is bunk. And, no, the show is not that bad! Literally, my only problem with it, as a fan, is that I think it could be great & it's just not. It's good, not great. They still are not on top of pacing. They routinely take too long to tell stories. But, one example, the scenes this week with Lulu & Laura were like old time soap come home!
    • Ok nevermind, Wolf is in Marian's getup on the Jan 9th episode. Lucy wakes up at the lighthouse and it's now Marian, drinking tea, and sounding like an old British woman a la Mrs. Doubtfire

       Wolf is actually doing a good job as Brett, but I don't think they made him look like a believable Marian - its too clown/drag, but also creepier - and Wolf has a large nose they couldn't hide. I guess at this point, it didn't matter since she was unhinged and revealing him/herself anyway.
    • This is the *new* Rachel Black who just started airing on DAYS 4/25/2025, but of course with the ginormous tape-to-airdate gap on DAYS, she'll be airing on DAYS for months to come. And yet now she'll be new ex-Rachel. LOL.
    • As someone who cut ties with the show a little while after Chris Van Etten came back, I can’t talk on what the show is like now… is the show that bad? But even as a rumour, that’s pretty wild and radical. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that before.
    • Yes, I know JK is getting on in years, but perhaps he and his family (wife and/or son) could work with him as co-headwriters on the new TEON! I would also be available as a story consultant!

    • It's too bad they didn't see it through. Alan and Van could have married for all the wrong reasons and ended up caring for each other, with Ross in the wings and possibly Rita, too, to cause trouble. Rita was a LITTLE BIT of a schemer. She was kind of the Nola of her era, without the goofy personality. She deliberately went after Ed because she thought he would give her the lifestyle she wanted. She could do malicious things, i.e. cooly seduce Evie's crush (who was played by Jordan Clark, btw) and string him along until she was sure she had Ed. While Rita claimed to be deeply in love with Alan at the time she departed, part of the attraction for her was his money and power. As well as sharing aspects of Nola's character, she was also a more subtle version of Reva-she grew up poor and always wanted more than she had.
    • I'm not that surprised, in just the little we've seen of her she's been a complete natural. Even better than a handful of the adults.
