I don't want to sound too positive, but this sounds like a mid-confirmation that there will be a new (final?) season. I think it's being suggested here that the network would not consider a season 7 if these certain actors (enough actors?) were not locked in. Even if it was only these 4 actors in the end, the main character will still be there, as well as the 3 other most popular characters. But if only 1 said yes, I'm going to assume they wouldn't want an actual spinoff as S7 and will cancel.

And as someone mentioned, the characters not returning as mains could be reduced to recurring/guest roles, which I think any of the mains would agree to given their relationships with A&E. Like say Ginny and Josh do leave the show. Could they get those two to come back for some scenes in 7x01 and 7x13 for the set-up to make sense? Unless they're busy, I don't see why not.
