So I'm really looking forward to see more of Ruby, Blue, Archie, August, Jefferson (prob not), Whale (prob not), Sidney and Mulan. Blue, Archie and August? Definitely, the first two are confirmed and Archie's always somewhere. Sidney? Probably, through Evil Queen flashbacks. Mulan? Probably, through Maleficent flashbacks with Phillip. The only ones I'm iffy on are Jefferson (he's busy filming the Marvel movies, which is good for him but sucks for us), Whale (he's on another show which also films in Steveston, so we might get him) and Ruby (Meghan hasn't even been seen since the season 3 finale, and I don't think I want her back if she's only going to be window dressing. I want Red to actively do something.)

Aside from Keegan (Blue) and Eion (August), are any of the other characters confirmed? Or are their actors currently free? 'Cause that greatly increases the chances of a return.
