I think that what we get from the TV Guide article is as Lady stated. Merida fits in well with the setting and characters already present.

However, I don't think the use of Snow and Red was quite as random as some are suggesting. It does not promise Meghan's return, but I think it does get us to thinking about a specific time in the past, and that is the time when Bandit Snow was on the run from the Queen, when she was hiding in the forest, with her friend Red helping her by bringing supplies. While that may or may not be the actual case, that is how I choose to read this for now.

So, whether or not we see Meghan (and I do hope to see her at some point), I think we can expect to see the return of Bandit Snow at some point in the season. (This is not definite, just speculation on my part).

Now, whether we will see that in Episode one is more debateable, as they are going to be focusing on several plot setup scenes, for Camelot, for Merida, for Dark Swan. That right there is more than enough for 45(ish) minutes of a show.
