I'd say the longer we have until the series ends, the more likely it is that Emma comes back. If Season 7 is the final season, I'd almost guarantee that she will not return. If Season 8 is the final season, there's a slightly higher chance. Etc. But right now she's done. She needs some time to do other things before she'll be coming back.
