Spoilers Out of all the past shows’ main characters, who are you the LEAST interested in seeing again?

Is there anyone from the past you might cringe to see return?

Funny. I was going to say Neelix, but @Kor beat me to the punch.

I almost feel like it's too easy to just go with Neelix, but there you have it. ;)
 
The ones with dead actors. As much as I'd enjoy seeing Captain Nog, not worth it with a different actor.

For those where they could use the original actor. I'd be happy to see almost anyone if it were appropriate in the story and they weren't just killed off for shock.

Even Neelix, I have a feeling they'd write him in a more multifaceted way than they did in Voyager.

The reason I wouldn't mind Wesley is I think it'd be hilarious to see Wesley deal with a know it all kid on his ship who makes him look stupid.

I once read a novel set in the near future, that mentioned a series called "Star Trek: Captain Crusher's Log."
It was a horror novel.
 
Funnily enough, I probably would have said Riker and Troi, but Picard actually did really well with them.
 
Hmm. Ok, Charles "Trip" Tucker III, Jadzia Dax, Tasha Yar, The real Data who was destroyed in Nemesis, Katherine Pulaski because I think she's dead, Ro Laren because I think she's dead, Thomas Riker because I think he's dead, and Benjamin Sisko.
 
Lower Decks should have a scene with hundreds of cameo characters from all the Berman era shows crammed on a shuttle to visit the USS Cerritos that gets accidentally blown up in the teaser.
 
Worf (because oversaturation, plus he was getting on my nerves). Chakotay (self-explaining).

Oh yes, Nog and Odo (loved them, but sadly, their actors have passed and I would hate a recast)

Wesley. Self-explaining.

Sisko, because I somehow felt his arc was over. But he wouldn't make me cringe, so I suppose he doesn't count.
 
I’m done with Neelix. Just please don’t bring him back, there’s no need.

I’ll also add to the chorus of not bringing back Nog or Odo. Or any character whose actor is deceased. We liked them the way they were, stop trying to recast them.

Finally no Barclay please. I don't need him stuttering through how terrible it is with the synthban or freaking out over a new fear.
 
I would say nobody and everybody at the same time.

What I mean is, I'll never say no to a familiar face. However, I don't know if there's really anyone whose appearance would add anything. I mean, Riker and Troi's appearance was nice and all for sentimental reasons, but their involvement added nothing to the narrative that couldn't have easily been passed-on to someone else. I mean I would say the only character with any amount of untapped potential is Seven. And that's already happened.

I think the one exception might be Kira. I think she as a Ranger has some good potential. But then I think Nana retired, didn't she?
