It's up in the air for her, but I really don't see Rumple, Belle and Zelena staying, they are the most satured characters. It depends on the contracts. I believe that Jennifer, Robert, Ginny, Josh and Lana has the same contract since they are the original cast from season 1, meaning that all of their contracts end after season 6.

Jared probably has a different contract than the rest since he is a minor.

Emilie, Colin and Rebecca are not part of the original cast so they might have different contracts that might extend longer than season 6.

Those are just my guesses of course. I thought Rebecca had a seasonal contract. Anyway that won't stop them from being written out like Robin.
