Obviously we all want Ruby back. Yes she was never really that important unless the writers made her (using her wolf persona to smell and find people etc) but she was beautiful and good and it was a nice change from the casual five (Emma, Charmings, Regina, Rumple). I've always considered Ruby to be a very importent part of the show. The writers are at fault for making her out to be a background character. Red is a background character. She had the potential to be something major, being the friend of Snow. However, Snow seems to have forgotten her which is why her reappearance in the season 3b premiere it was almost refreshing.

I think they need the townsfolk to do something in general. We never see any of them out side of the occasional Granny, fairy or dwarf.

I think the townsfolk besides the main cast should be just that. Interact with the main cast on an as needed basis to get the idea of what the town goes through. The show often forgets the peasants, just like the Charming clan does.

We need the resurgence of the townsfolk. The villains, though I love Zelena and Cruella, should be seen outside their arc (to me that's when they are more exciting) but not more than pop-ups here and there.

The rest that are unavailable I wish them best in their endeavors.
