Since it is a new curse it takes everyone in Storybrooke. However I think that people like Neal, Hook, Tink, Ariel etc. stayed because of several reasons. Ariel obviously wants to be with Eric, Tink might fufill her fairy duties again, Hook, idk but he returned so... and Neal hopefully stayed for Belle.
