Since we are only a week away from the premiere, hopefully this can be a quick and easy discussion. Okay, so it was announced yesterday that Madame Leota is joining the cast of 7x11. However, Lady Junky added onto her page that she is a member of the Coven. We all pretty much know she is, but the sources we have don't actually confirm that. I brought it to attention in the comments and here were the "confirmations" Lady Junky pointed me to:

"Alas, the OUAT bosses are coy to reveal any of the Coven member’s identities, only teasing there will be a pretty major new face among them. “I think there’s going to be some surprises,” Kitsis says. “What happens with the witch story line hopefully will also be surprising. We will be seeing someone in episode 11, which is a reference we’ve never done before, which is from the Haunted Mansion.” "


 * 1) "Alas, the OUAT bosses are coy to reveal any of the Coven member’s identities, only teasing there will be a pretty major new face among them." This section doesn't mention Leota or the Haunted Mansion anywhere. Nor does it say this person will be met in the premiere.
 * 2) “I think there’s going to be some surprises,” Kitsis says. “What happens with the witch story line hopefully will also be surprising. We will be seeing someone in episode 11, which is a reference we’ve never done before, which is from the Haunted Mansion.” It says the Haunted Mansion person (and it doesn't mention Leota by name. We don't know 100% that they won't introduce at least one other character) will be involved in the Witch storyline. It doesn't actually say they are one of the Witches. Actually it doesn't even say that the person is involved at all.

So do we count her as a member until next week or no and wait for better confirmation?

NOTE: Please keep the discussion on the points at hand. We aren't discussing whether or not she can be a member. We are discussing whether she is confirmed as one. Discussion about who is in the Coven goes here: http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:353784

Also please keep it simple. We've had discussions go on for months. This one needs to go pretty quickly or it won't even matter, given that the episode is here in a week and a day.
