It is incredibly doubtful, Adam and Eddy will contact Jennifer Morrison, for the series finale. If Emma is killed off, it would be to permanently end her story. After all, death is the only happy ending. Everything else, is just a happy beginning.

6.21/6.22 functioned as a series finale, for the original storyline. The reboot is a sequel, focusing on an adult Henry. Why on earth would OUaT bring back characters for a finale, to a storyline they were not part of? Because that is how series finales generally work. While this is a soft reboot, it is still the same show. They could have had a harder seperation, and changed the name, or at least added a subtitle, like Once Upon A Time: The Next Chapter, but they didn't. Also, we are only 4 episodes in and already have confirmed 9 actors are returning that we're on Seasons 1 - 6, that's not much of a reboot to me.
