How about this for a twist:

They're all outcasts!

The so-called heaven is a fraud setup by the known archies in ethereal space on a shoe string budget. They live in terror of the day when Satan gets up the nerve to drop in and find that he's not burned.

Gabby keeps saying that she knows the way back to God, but she's just nuts, right?

That is kind of brilliant. I haven't decided yet whether it's thematically at odds with what I had in mind or whether it is a more perfect version of it. Hmm.

Yikes, I never even saw this post, and there was a direct request for more info! I'll message you soon, Chris. As for specific questions here:

Yes, good point. I think the canon for me here will probably be that Heavenly Tethers are confirmed "closed," without anymore scary light from Heaven, but also unable to be corrupted into Infernal Tethers, according to testing to date. (Or at least that's what the average demon on the street has heard.)

It also occurred to me that there is one other major angelic presence I forgot to address: The Angels of Final Judgment, stationed at the gates of Hell. Official answer for now is that they disappeared immediately following the recall of Uriel, but before anybody had a chance to react to this news in Hell, they were replaced by a pair of statues bearing their likenesses (and which seem to contain an impossible number of Forces to the trained eye). Everyone just kind of leaves them be as if they were the original angels, save for the occasional act of graffiti.
