Here's my guess, based on that assumption. Season 6 ends with a similar ending to what happened in Season 3A. The Curse is completely broken, and everyone from the EF is forced to return to the EF, Including Emma. But both Henry and Robyn were conceived in the LWM, and therefore are forced to stay behind. The EF characters are not dead, but neither are they immediately available.

Robyn and Henry are taken by the state of Maine and raised by a foster family for 5 years. The state manages to keep them together as Henry persuades them that he is Robyn's sole living relative, her Uncle. When he comes of age, he petitions to become Robyn's guardian, which is granted, so Henry ends up raising Robyn. However, finding it cruel to remind her of her lost family that she never knew, he buries his memories and chooses to keep Robyn in the Dark. and it is this chain of events that lead to him becoming cynical (and non-believing).

Now, 10 years later, something happens that forces everything to change. and the result of that change will lead Henry and Robyn to seek out some way to journey to the EF. Meanwhile, We see in the EF that things are not going well. There is war, and a new Dark One.We'll see some of the old characters return, but some are too busy running the kingdom, while others may have perished in the war, and others are simply not around.

Basically, the story will be told, at least initially, on 2 fronts. One from Henry's P.O.V. in the LWM and one from someone elses P,O.V. in the EF (Maybe Emma, maybe Zelena, maybe some other new character). Great theory! I think the EF part could be coral as well, with each week dedicated to a character like we're used to...
