Would it even be worth it? Even if they came up with some convoluted story about the close not getting demolished (and they'd have to build a replica close somewhere), you'd just have a show with completely different characters just happening to live in the same houses with no real connection to the old show (unless you came up with a really implausible story about some of the old residents buying their houses back). At that point you may as well start a new soap entirely, at least it wouldn't have the expectations or baggage of bringing an old show back.
There aren't too many characters in these earlier episodes either. With the show only starting with two houses occupied, the third moving in during the first episode and the 4th a few episodes later. Looking at things, it's actually quite a while until 5th house gets occupied, and one of the existing characters dies before then.
Though we do have a fair amount set in locations away from the close with other characters in these early episodes, I don't think that was really the case during the last few months in 2003.
