Cyclops has grown and changed in Jean's absence--but if Jean were suddenly alive again tomorrow, you don't think he'd drop everything and run off to be with her? He's done it before! And a Jean who came back from the dead would have to deal with her relationship with Cyclops--the two are simply too intrinsically linked at this point to skip past that. If Scott were the one that had died and Jean remained alive at this point, and we were talking about him coming back, it'd be the same thing. - Tom Brevoort, Senior Vice President of Publishing (Marvel)
