Great theory! Putting Henry and Robin forefront is a great solution. At least his acting surely will be better than Jared. They will keep the main cast, of course. I always know that the characters must go back to the EF, but I don't know that it will be this soon. Seeing that Henry and Robin will stay, my theory that Rumbelle and Gideon will leave SB is doomed. But I don't think that they will kill off Rumple either. They could just make him a Dark One no more in the future apocalypse world. The only problem is how they will handle the age of the adults.

The main cast shake up for the new season will be like:

Henry, Robyn returning to the EF, but Jared is no more main cast.

Emma, Hook, Regina, Zelena is a must. They are directly related to Henry and Robyn.

Snow, Charming, Rumple, Belle is probably. They could make them recurring or still regular.

And finally, a villain added is a must. Maybe a new Dark One. I still hope for Dr. Facilier, Dracula or Rothbart to make an appearance.

Even though seeing the current narrative ends with no closure to Lily's storyline makes me feel a bit disappointed. I hope that her and Mulan's storylines will be resolved in s7, so that if the show will be canceled by then, we'll have no dangling threads.
