No need to choose between the three options:

We could start with making them NPC's and opening up the spots for potential newcomers. If they have a vital role to play (I mean, they are interesting characters that are involved in some drama.) we can say that for now, others (like the writers of their siblings) will control them. If it fits plotwise, we can always use some characters that are 'expendable'.

And this is why I love input! I would have never thought of using them like that.

I think that's a  wonderful idea. Making Skye and Stella NPCs would not only allow for them to stay on-screen, but also would allow more slots to be free for, as you've said, potential newcomers. 

So yeah, that's how it's gonna go. :)

[@Altered Tundra] I understand and get it would be fair to kill them off to make room for others, I am just not very fond of death when it comes to characters even if it would seem appropriate...that's all.

I get ya. I've always felt that the death of characters - especially if it's characters whose deaths will mean something - add a lot of depth to the plot. However, as it seems that's not going to happen(yet), then it's a subject we don't have to talk about right now. ^^
