Where do you stand on flashbacks. Good? Bad? Short? Long? [View all]

I'm in one that's pushing 80+ pages and still going. It's all a good fit for the story, but I can't seem to find an exit. I'm debating whether to restructure and start the story earlier to remove the narration, but the problem with restructuring is that I lose a really great character and I invested a lot of time in her. Just can't think of any way to add her elsewhere.
