'' Rumors have swirled in recent weeks about who in fact did  re-sign, but ABC isn’t confirming any extensions (or exits). “We have the answers to that, which we can’t share, but the story has been designed around it,” co-creator Adam Horowitz affirms. ''





'' “Any changes that we have to accommodate have been accommodated,” adds co-creator Eddy Kitsis. “We planned this finale from the beginning of the year, so whoever stays and whoever goes… all those questions have already been dealt with. The audience does not have to fear [anything feeling] incomplete.” ''



“We wanted to be able to complete this chapter,” Kitsis says of the season ender’s two-pronged mission, “and yet set up the next one.” 

I feel like in a lot of of their interviews, they say a lot without saying too much. Like the quotes you mentioned above... They have made me feel less nervous going into this finale. I'm glad if anyone is exiting, that it's being set up that way. Idk if anyone watches Teen Wolf, but  they only had one true "great" exit, but the others have been left  too open ended. With one exit early on in that series(Colton Hayne's) causing a major re-write for the following. I'm glad that doesn't seem to be the case for  OUAT. The only fear  for seems to be wether or not it's safe and getting renewed. I honestly wouldn't mind if Robert left the series (Rumple as he is has gotten stale; he's the type of character that unlike Regina, can't be redemeed without loosing its spark imo). I feel like if the Charming are demoted to recurring like Archie, that'd be fine. It does need some fresh blood to stick around. Idk what she is doing, but JoAnna as Ariel, Jasmine, Aladdin and Jaffar should stick around... With the first three maybe getting promoted to main. I would hate to see Zelena leave,as I adore Bex, and think her character needs to grow more and the show to truly show her and Regina as sisters long term.
