 Unless Jennifer Morrison plans on leaving the show, most of the mains should still be there come season 7. If Emma is there, I'm assuming Snowing, Hook, and Henry will probably be there to serve her character. Regina's a little more disconnected but she's still Henry's other mother and I can't see her leaving unless Lana wants to, and I'm sure she doesn't.

 I'd be looking at potential exits for Robert, Emilie, and Rebecca though. Robert made some comments recently that suggested he might be leaving the show soon. Wonder if that'll end up holding any weight. A OUAT without Rumple/the Dark One would certainly be a "new direction" for the show.
