Bo technically wasn't a legacy character because he was not born during the timeframe of the show. (The Brady family was added in later.) Bo's kids are legacy characters. Julie was a core family member from Day 1 of the show, so while not born on the show, her having a protracted, on-screen medical fight that she loses would be different than what soaps usually do. If the story is hospital-focused, a miracle cure saves them. Think of Marlena's coma or Will's recent brain tumor. Was there ever any doubt that they would recover?Stefano, Andre, Mickey, Bo, Lexie, Shawn, Sr., ...all legacy characters...plus Alice & Tom
Stefano didn't die of a medical issue - Hope shot him.
André - which death? He was usually murdered.
Mickey - offscreen death or you'd be right
Lexie - the setup for her death was different - there was no emphasis on the medical (compare the writing for her to Will)
Shawn, Sr - not a legacy character, and his death was comparatively quick
