What storylines would you have liked to have seen?

Either back in the day during the actual run or if we had gotten a 1991/1992 or 1992/1993 season, or even in The Return?
Things I would have liked in The Return:
I would have liked to have seen more of the Annie character, even just a quick scene of her in The Return, having Norma visit her in the institution, with her staring vacantly and saying "I'm fine". Considering Heather Graham was game to return, I'm not sure why they didn't do this. Similarly, I would have liked to see a lot more of Josie and Catherine, both those storylines could have been continued in really interesting ways, separately I mean - Josie in the lodge/trapped in wood, Catherine as an old recluse. I think not including them was a missed opportunity and would have happily had the scenes of random characters in the roadhouse be excised in favour of scenes like these.
More about James and what happened to Donna. More of the hotel, particularly Cooper's old room. A reunion - even if only of sorts - with Cooper and Audrey. Maddy. And Harry of course, even if just over Skype.
I really would have liked to see what the Between Two Worlds segment hinted at for the Palmers. I know we saw some of this with Sarah's storyline, but I would have liked more of her grief. I wasn't crazy about her being a vessel for Judy but even if this was the case, would have liked it to have been handled differently - that she became open to Judy and/or other spirits, perhaps through the painting upstairs Laura left behind, from the lodge, rather than the bug thing in her childhood (if that was even her). But just in general, I was quite intrigued by the dialogue in the Between Two Worlds piece and feel it wasn't really brought into the show. I also liked the idea of aging spirits, and again didn't really find that part was touched upon.
If they had been picked up back in the day:
I think seeing Cooper's Doppleganger going around town would have been very interesting and spooky.
Harry and co. rescuing good Cooper from the black lodge - a real bookhouse boys adventure meets supernatural storyline. Cheesy but amazing at the same time.
-
In either one, a version where Laura is actually brought back to life and returns to the town, shocking everyone, or not being noticed by most people (if 25 years later) as the town had moved on, apart from a handful of people. An iconic dead character coming back to life would be really cool even if they played it in a more sidelined way. Perhaps a future continuation with Carrie Page could explore this (to some extent).
Probably a lot more but those are the main things I thought of for now!
