To recap: Zelena ties back to Dorothy and Red, who they want to show again at some point; Zelena and Regina is an interesting dynamic, Zelena has a baby; Zelena is a fan favorite; Zelena allows an easy link to Oz stuff; and Rebecca loves being on the show, interacting with the fans, etc. Which all were already pointed out excluding fan favorite (cause it doesn't count, has nothing to do with it and they don't have the power for it). Robin was also a fan favorite, yet he was removed. And even though he is somehow returning, his return won't last as spoiled. Which points out that being a fan favorite don't have any power, except to grow up, let it go and move on. Actually, the only reason that doesn't mean anything is that Zelena has ties to Dorothy since she's not an important character and who cares about her anyway... Being fan favorites is the only reason they keep pointless characters on the show - Zelena, Hook. Robin doesn't count because they never thought he was a fan favorite, they thought people thought he was boring so they got rid of him, and the only reason he comes back is because of fan's demands (the fandom runs this show, it's hilarious...). While the writers may look at what the fans are thinking, I don't think that is the sole deciding factor on anything. Otherwise the main cast would be Regina, Zelena, Robin, Red, Jefferson, Cruella, Hook, and Graham. And considering that is not the show, I don't think they listen that much to the fans. Plus, every fan has different characters they like and dislike. So you can't really treat "the fans" as one entity.
