One thing people have to take into consideration when deciding how they would have done Season 7 is the following:

1. You would have had to bring Colin back as he was on contract. No ifs, ands, or buts.

2. You only have 22 episodes to work with this season. Didn't know if it was cancelled or not until you already started filming.(I knew because the ratings sucked)

3. Lana and Robert are still on contract.

With all this taken into consideration I would have done the following:

1. Instead of doing the new enchanted forest, I would do the Black Forest which is the grimm verson(Original) of the Enchanted forest(Disney).

2. I would have made the villain of the season the Coven of 8 from the very beginning. I would have made the members: Tremaine, Drizella, Gothel, Leota, Blind Witch, Ursula(Sea Goddesses), Madam Mim, Queen of Hearts. Each one would have their own personal goals.

Tremaine: Bring Back Anastisia from death.

Ursula: Become more powerful than God Posieden

Gothel: Immortality

Etc.......

However although all of them would be part of a coven I wouldn't have all them be witches. Drizella and tremaine would have no innate magic but instead they acquired fairy wands. With that being said though all Fairy wands must be charged with magic every now and again. Leota while a powerful witch in life is nothing more than a spirit now. To fully ultilize her power she needs a powerful Dark Witch(Sorceress) vessel to use. Ursula while once a powerful goddesses was stripped of her powers by Posiden. Now all she can do is potions like in the Cartoon. Queen of Hearts wouldn't be a witch just a Queen who was gifted with the power to ruip others hearts out. Kinda how like Regina enchanted Hook's well Hook.

So the only ones in the Coven with Magic would be Gothel and the Blind witch.

3. The Main protagonist would have been Regina, Henry, Nook, WishRumple. Yes I would do WishRumple and WishHook. I will do them because I wouldn't want to disturb Rumbelle or CaptainSwan and this way you don't need to really address those other characters. Also Each protagonist would have had a villain from the coven to deal with.

Henry: I would have made his antogonist Tremaine. The reason I say Tremaine is because with Henry's heart of the truest believer she would have a powerful source of magic to fuel her wand so she could accomplish her goals.

Rumple: I would say it would be Gothel. Gothel wants immortality, eternal youth and a crap ton of power. By Becoming the Dark One she could achieve this.

Hook: Ursula ofcourse to keep true to his pirate and sea theme. She made a deal with Hook for him to retrieve the trident that binded her powers and Hook went back on the deal.

Regina: I would have had her antagonist be Madame Leota. Regina was once a powerful dark practioner of magic. Possessing Regina would afford her the Body she needed to use her powers to the fulliest.

People like Drizella would simply be following her mothers orders, Lucy would still be a thing so I would have the Queen of Hearts be her antagonist becaue she was born from true love and have a powerful heart, The Blind Witch and Madam Mim unfortunetly would be throw away characters. Now they would still have some backstory to them.

4. Relationship wise I still would have had Henry and Jacinda get together and have Lucy. Regina would still be forming a relationship with Dr. Fallicer. Hook would have a love/hate relationship with Ursula.

I would have made Lucy a combination of Alice and Anastasisia. Have the mental state of Alice but the powers of Anastasia. Good opportunity to address mental illnesses.

With Dr Fallicer I would would have had him trying to persuade Regina to pick up the Dark arts again. Have him teach her some new black magic. Would have him working with Madame Leota to prep Regina to be her host. Of course he still would develop true feelings for Regina.

I would have kept Hook as Hook. I wouldn't try to pacify him and would have showed off a more love hate relationship between him and Ursula.

5. With the curse I still would have done it but with a few changes.

First I would have still had magic exist in hyperion hieghts. The only different would be is that Magic works different in the LWM. I would make it harder to access and control. However I still would have had some magic brought over from the Black Forest. However it they could only access it with the octagon that each Coven members business helps make up.

Second the cursed personas need a lot of work. I would have gave each on the following persona:

Henry: I would have had him be a rich and popular author within HH.

Rumple: Bails Bondman within HH.

Hook: Bar Owner.

Regina: City Councel representive.

Tremaine: Head of a successful Maid service company.

Drizella: Her assisstant

Jacinda: Maid

Gothel: Conservationist(?)

Ursula: Singer

Blind Witch: Owns Bakery

Madame Mim: Owns restrurant

Queen of Hearts: Owns Casino

Would have had Henry the leader of a investigation on a missing girl(Lucy).
