I can think of Michael Baldwin who was brought in as a creepy villain on YR. He was obsessed with Cricket, tried to rape her and kill Paul Williams, it was alluded that he killed a woman named Rebecca. He was a lawyer. He went to prison for his crimes. I believe he was raped or at least assaulted in prison. When he came out of prison he was changed for the better. He made amends to Cricket and Paul. She went before the Bar, and got them to reinstate his license so he could practice law. Cricket and Michael became law partners and the three of them have been friends ever since. Michael really did change his life around. The thing is he learned what it felt like to be Cricket and he was truly remorseful for his crimes. He has gone from the most hated guy on the show to one of the most respected characters.

So yes, if the writers want to they can redeem a character. I do think they need to show the viewers that the character has paid for their crimes, they are remorseful, and show that the character has changed for the better. I do not think giving a character amnesia or a brain tumor really works that well to get the viewers to forget a characters past. I think it is all about them proving that a character has changed by the situations they find themselves in moving forward.
