David, Mary Margaret, Regina, Emma, Henry, Hook, Jekyll and Hyde for sure.

Zelena 99% (I don't know what she'll be up to, but I guess she will appear, even if for a short scene). Sinbad and Sheherazade, very likely to be in the premiere. I, too, say yes for Granny. And six of the dwarves (I'm assuming Kaiser's announcement that he left the show might have been triggered by the fact that all six dwarves were called to film the premiere and he realized that he would be left aside for some more time). Poole is probably showing up in LUS flashback, but I don't know if we'll have a Jekyll/Hyde flashback this early.

Gold. I'm leaning towards to believing he won't appear until the final part of the episode. Or he will be absent at all. The same with Belle. I think they could appear and the question to be answered in future flashbacks is how she was awaken. (They often solve a problem early and leave the "hows" to be explained in the middle of the season).

I think Prince Neal will appear too.

Don't think we will see Lily nor the Dragon nor Violet right now. Perhaps in 602.

I was also hoping that Archie or Sidney could make a cameo, they help set the S1 atmosphere that the writers intend to. The same with Mother Superior. Of these three, she is the most likely to appear and still I don't think we'll see her. Here's to hope they surprise me.

As to mentions, I REALLY hope Regina mentions Roland once. It's totally out of character for her to ignore that. We need an on-screen reference, even if brief, to her reaction of him going away without even a goodbye. Don't forget about Maleficent and especially Red and Dorothy (Maybe Mulan as well). Remember, the makers wish to have Red and Dorothy return, and Meghan's recent filming of Chesapeake Shores is probably finished by now. And there still seems to be a war between Dorothy and Zelena. Of course they might not show up in this episode but maybe in the other eps after that.
