I think losing Lana, Bobby or Jennifer would be enough for them to end the show. So many people watch for Regina or Rumple, and you really can't convincingly have OUAT without Emma Swan. Oddly enough.... most people think Robert Carlyle would be the first, to leave OUaT once his contract expires. So many thought that Rumple would die last Season and Bobby would leave the show, but that didn't happen. That's two occasions where Rumple could have been written out of the show, and yet they didn't. The first was when Rumple sacrificed himself to defeat Pan. Bobby stated in an interview a few months ago that he still enjoys working on OUAT, and that it pays well to continue doing it.
