Lightning's not useless in all honesty. His conflict with Jo was the only other plotline from TDROTI that wasn't forgotten in TDAS and bringing him back would be a good way to settle their rivalry once and for all. Scott is just dead weight. There's really nothing they can do for him unless they want to go with the cliche love triangle crap once again, which I wouldn't doubt coming from these writers. I don't see how Dawn of all people can return. The creators are more prone to using characters who had the most screentime and Anne and Brick would kill her chances of bringing back.
