I love the Andrew and Megan relationship, so I would never give it up. I do think looking at it recently today they may or may not have pivoted very quickly from testing her with Heinrich/Cain when they knew they couldn't keep Jessica permanently (and knew John Loprieno was quitting, leaving KW's Tina adrift) to doing something with a more closed loop, i.e. an unattainable romance with Andrew, a devoted man of God. OTOH Andrew was Malone's self-admitted personal avatar/self-insert onscreen (per his old website Q&As) in some ways, and Andrew's passion for Megan never really goes away as long as Malone is at the show. (And Andrew continues to have complicated ties to unattainable women - first Marty, then married Téa Delgado). I think if JT had agreed to stay they might have gone ahead with her torn between Andrew and Cain, or even pitted her against Tina again like the '80s for a quad.
I love the Max/Megan relationship both from what I've seen in the '80s and here in the '90s, and they do have some lovely scenes when he returns and again on her deathbed. But I think their relationship is where it's supposed to be. If Tuck had signed another contract and Max had gotten sick of Blair and Luna, who knows?
