Snow, charming and Belle have become secondary characters like Archie, Granny, Ruby and the Dwarves in seasons 1&2. I don't think they'll have any problem getting rid of them, they hardly affect anything on the show.

There is so much they can do with Rumple. At this point is either kill him for good or letting him be the main antagonist is season 6, without any random villains coming and going.

If both Robert and Emilie leaves, I see two options:

1. Rumple dies and Belle leaves Storybrooke to see the world.

2. Rumple becomes Good (again) and both of them leaves Storybrooke to see the world.

If only Robert stays, then Belle dies and he becomes full on evil cause there is no reason for him to be good anymore.

If both of them stays, they remain with the status quo.
