5 years in, and we have really only had minor tweeks in the main cast.

Season 1: Lana, Robert, Ginny, Josh, JMo, Jared. (I think Eion may have been main halfway through, but not sure) The rest were Recurring

Season 2: Add Emilie and Meghan at the beginning. Drop Meghan and Add Colin Midseason.

Season 3: Add MRJ as Main

Season 4: Drop MRJ, Add Michael Sosha.

Season 5: Drop Michael Sosha, Add Bex and Sean.

So basically 8 of the 10 current "Mains" have been with the show since season 2 (6 from the very begining). and the other 2 current mains have been affiliated with the show since season 3. It has really been a very strong and unchanging cast. If the show is to have any chance at multiple seasons, though, they probably need to start replacing some of the other mains. Really, I think that the ones to keep until the very end are Robert, Lana, and JMo. Any and everyone else is subject for swapping out.

Honestly, I think Ginny and Josh could be moved to recurring characters, (Give MM her old teaching job back, and let David run the Sheriff's station). and then make room for a new FT couple (or other FT characters) to become the center of the show for a bit.
