ABC did trust her appeal enough for a spinoff, but other than the Nurses' Ball and the Mac/Felicia wedding she no longer had any presence on GH (maybe she was at Katherine's funeral - I can't remember). So to GH viewers she became detached. When PC ended Guza/JFP were able to just give her and Kevin the appearance at Lila's funeral as a parting gift and moved on with no fuss. She did return on a more frequent basis, a decade later, but to such a different world.
I don't think any of those viewers who came into the show in the mid '90s/late '90s/early '00s have it out for Lucy, but I think she just doesn't matter to them, and that is still a big portion of who the show caters to. That's one of the reasons they can get away with moments like the ritual humiliation of Deception, and Home & Hearth or whatever it's called.
