Emma, Snow, Charming, Henry, Belle, and Zelena are not being completely written off, they are simply no longer main cast. Just like Archie was not main cast after Season 1. However, he still appeared in 24 episodes after Season 1. So it doesn't mean we will never see these characters again, it just means we won't see the characters in every episode or every few episodes. They can still appear in quite a lot of the season though, as guest stars frequently have appeared in between 8 - 12 episodes in one season. Thank! Someone with common logic. Also agreed completely with what Eskaver said.
