Gil (Eric) flat out said he's not in, and Karen (Jasmine) said they wrapped her and Aladdin's story up in Season 6. That is weird since Gil hinted his return... That wasn't him hinting his return, that was him trying to get the writers to put him in, since Ariel was returning. Obviously the writers didn't have the time/budget/etc. to put him in. I'm sure other actors would have been willing to come back as well, that aren't in, just due to time and budget constraints. Well if they indeed sent an open invitation, I'm sure that they would have fitted everyone even as a passerby or a cameo. I mean the actors still want to get payed if they are a credited character, and I'm sure ABC didn't just say that they would pay for as many people who wanted to come back to come back, especially if they would just be a glorified extra in the episode. So it probably wasn't a completely open invite, but more of a selective invite to many major characters. Yeah I get you.

Though the rates depend on how long the actor will be shooting and how important or grand his appearance is. For example, Gil would have gotten 1/10 of what JMo got, and sometimes actors do cameos for just a small amount of money, depends on how big the actor is but various things are considered. From what I gathered working in the media, sometimes actors that keep a friendly relationship with the producers etc do unpaid cameos. They could have gotten, say, Jamie Dornan for an unpaid cameo as long as they paid his travelling expenses etc.

I'm sure if they did indeed send out open invitations they clarified that it'd be for cameos with small payment or unpaid.

And I am still wondering what Jessy Schram, Merrin Dungey, Kristin Bauer, Barbara Hershey and Tony Perez were doing in the offices since none of them are appearing in the final episdes (from what we know). Probably something for a DVD/Bluray bonus feature, like Lady R said. Joana Metriss (Gwen) was also there, btw, among people who are in the episode like Robbie (Pan) and Victoria (Cruella). Are we even getting a Blu-ray or even a DVD this year? I dunno if the ratings matter to the release of home video or else. I'm sure we are getting at least a DVD. They know the show has a big following that pay for merchandise.
