Maybe one of the witches is Lily (you know, Maleficent's daughter). They never got around to finish her story sadly enough before the reboot, something that really irritated me. So perhaps Lily and Maleficent got estranged when Lily went out to look for her father herself (as Emma didn't keep her promise) and she somehow ended up at the coven. And Henry has to fix a mistake his mother made (not finding Lily's father thus).

And wasn't Yvette Nicole Brown confirmed to appear in Once this time again? It would be great if she played a new iteration of Ursula, as she was originally cast to play her. Lily has very little chance or reappearing, unless they make her father someone in NEF/HH, which seems unlikely. As for Yvette, she is currently on the ABC sitcom, The Mayor, and so probably doesn't have time to come back.
