The Witch is definitely Gothel, though I think she might be Rumple-like in that she will play a bunch of roles (Rumple was Rumpelstiltskin, the Fairy Godmother, the Beast, the Crocodile, etc., The Witch could be Mother Gothel, the Queen of Hearts, Dr. Facilier, etc.)

It is interesting that her announcement is so EF-centric. Does that mean we're leaving Hyperion Heights before she debuts? Is there a concurrent EF storyline? Is she flashback-exclusive? Or are they just leaving out her Hyperion Heights counterpart?
