As we know, 5 members of the cast (Emma, Snow, Charming, Belle and Zelena) are not returning as regulars and we know JMo is returning for 1 ep. What theories do people have on how the show explains their disappearences? Do you think some will remain, but just be recurring? Will they be killed? Will they be stuck somewhere?

With the addition of flashbacks, it makes it more harder to make a decision the fates of these characters, as the possibilities are endless. Right now I have no clue on how they will explain the absences. What does everyone else think?
