Yes I know, they're unlikely to add new series regulars because they're low on money and viewers and can't handle that many. But hear me out.

If they did add new characters to the main cast for whatever unlikely reason, who do you think it could be?

If they did a pre-existing character, I could see them promoting Jekyll and/or Hyde, Violet, The Dragon, or Lily. Since Hyde's villainy is going to last all season, even if he does still die at the end he and/or Jekyll could still be main cast, like Hook was in Season 2. (On the other hand, Hook also had the Captain Swan plot keeping him around for future seasons, and Cora was still a guest star) Violet would make sense because love interests have been the promoted characters since Season 2 (Hook in S2, Neal in S3, Will in S4, and Robin in S5). The Dragon could fit since we know so little about him and him being main cast could increase the chances of us learning more (on the other hand, Will and Robin). And lastly, Lily could be promoted for the continuation of her plot, since they intended to do it in Season 5 but Agnes was pregnant, and especially since we've gotten the reintroduction of a draconic character who has an 85% chance of being her dad.

If they did a new character like they did in Season 2, it would probably be someone from LoUS like Don Quixote, Gulliver, Paul Bunyan, etc. but that would be hard to predict, since we don't know how big their roles are going to be.

Any speculation?
