I can tell you that from writing point of view Neal's death did not make sense at all (I can explain why but it will be very long). I don't really trust what was said in those interviews. Everyone is always polite about those matters.

I don't know how cable TV works so I don't know about the situation with Lifetime. Networks do things differently. ABC can pull the plug on Once anytime they want. And a show can continue without its creator like Gilmore Girls and Charmed. About actors leaving according to the networks whim, there is Grey's Anatomy with Isiah Washington and Brooke Smith Most likely those rumors are false then. I disagree that Neal's death did not make sense. It raised the stakes for Emma getting rid of Zelena, it gave us a permanent death (which this show sorely lacks), it gave closeure to the Rumple and Bae story, it got rid of the Emma, Hook, Neal love triangle, and it gave the Charmings a good name for their baby. ABC is on good terms with Adam and Eddy, and want to keep it that way. They will not just pull their show without giving them a season to wrap the story, even if ratings are going down, which they are not. Grey's Anatomy, that's an interesting example for you to choose. Not sure about Brooke Smith (as I barly even remember her character), but I do know the story about Isiah, that he was making homosexual slurs. Obviously, this didn't bother the network enough to not let him guest star this past season, so that's kind of a null and void point. Furthermore, Sandra Oh and Katherine Heigl both chose to leave the show, so if anything they back my point that ABC doesn't have the ultimate choice, the actors do. Then the writers, they ABC.
