1. Rebecca wasn't fired.

2. People aren't looking at any of the contractual dynamics whatsoever. Colin apparently had 1-year left. Lana and Robert renewed. None of them took Rebecca's spot. Colin and Lana are marketing tools, Robert is a great actor, and that's it about them. Wanting one of them "fired" to let Bex join is wrong.

3. The perspective is all wrong. The show likely is "Andrew and Allison doing whatever, with Colin, Lana, and Robert tagging along." People act as if it's a shoe-in that it'll be the main Once Villains with two random new characters in the backseat.

4. Creatively, every main character of Once is done with their development. It's better that Rebecca go before Zelena retreads into a regression-progression territory like all the villains do.

5. It could also be a financial decison to make it appealing to renew. Like they didn't even use Rebecca that much in season 6, so being upset her contract's not being renewed is bizarre.

6. Sean and Micheal Socha had it much worse. Not a comparison, but Rebecca's contract not being renewed is hardly "idiotic of the writers".

7. I can't see how JMo's departure is less as grand as Bex's departure. I must be topsy-turvy world, but come on guys. She was fired. Read between the lines. Fired has a negative connotation. She wasn't fired unjustly (afaik). She was let go because of creative reasons.
