We know Robert is leaving. Colin's contract will be ending, so they might write out Wish Hook as a main. I can see Wish Hook and Alice leaving the group at the end of S7 to reconnect and go on their own adventure, and perhaps checking back in from time to time in a S8.

No clue about Lana but she'd be the only veteran I can really see staying on. Though I think it'd make more sense if Regina were to step down as a main, and for the storyline to continue mainly with the new generation of characters: Henry/Ella/Lucy/Tiana/Drizella + Tiana & Drizella's love interests. They should probably get another male or two in there.

I would also be unsure of Lady Tremaine staying on as a main character. Wait! Robert is leaving? Robert's been saying he's done with the show since, like, Season 4. No one's really sure why he keeps coming back, but there's discussion of "Rumple won't be back next year" consistently for some time now. In this case, they seem to be gearing towards the resolution of his arc via Anastasia, so the season will likely end with him dead and reunited with Belle.
