Guilt, loyalty, love, desperation, all these emotional motivators would drive the story, build the characters and would be the real draw for readers. Treat the characters as important rather than as tertiary, throw away ones, in a well written story and it won't matter what baggage came before.
I see your point. The resurrections of the past have left me a little leery. I'm in "wait and see" mode.
