Even though it was not announced yet, Red and Dorothy might return this season, because the showrunners wish and want to. It depends on the schedule. But since Meghan appears to be done filming and acting in her latest hallmark movie (Chesapeake Shores), it might appear that she might return this coming season with Dorothy, Mulan, and especially Toto.

Now who can this new patient of his be. If it's new, it's probably a new character or Emma.

I doubt the "RubySlippers" would return because "reasons". Mulan is probably a definite though because she still has an unresolved story. Kinda want it stay resolved if instead the rush her and we never see her again. Dorothy and Red should be back at some point. Both because there was no point in doing an LGBT couple if they were never going to show up again, and also because Dorothy and Red are both iconic characters in their own right, and should show up again, at least in flashbacks. Red is a close friend of Snow and so should be in some of her flashbacks, and Dorothy still didn't have her final showdown with Zelena when Zelena tries to cast the time travel spell the first time in flashbacks. I'll make a list of all the characters I think are likely to show up this season below. I'd say that the point was publicity, not quality use. Example: Merida. "Hey, look guys: Brave! " then they pretty much use her as a glorifed cameo and shipped offscreen. I expect the same for them. If so, then truly they were borderline (possibly) tokenism.

Make a list; I'll probably respond, classifying them in tiers of probability.
