Stories do that, they take on a life of their own. Flow with it. I've added something before that is just the tiniest little itty bitty thing, only one line of something that might be interesting, and it decides to become the most important thing in the story. And I've had characters that were supposed to be important but ended up with no purpose. I usually just open the airlock and let them float off into space... bye bye failed charactrer. Or if you end up with a bunch of characters you don't need anymore you can just have a 'Red Wedding'. But then you get that one character that just refuses to die, that's the hard one, yea, then you try to blow up their planet to get rid of them, but they always seem to escape.
