While Violet is involved with the Finale, My guess is that is not someone that would be a big surprise. Depending on how they resolve the Camelot residents, and also depending on whether the writers have plans to have a romantic interest for Henry, I could see her sticking around as a recurring (though not main) character.

But, of all the characters that I can think of, Jefferson is my top choice.

Something to think about, though. If it is Jefferson, why wouldn't he have been filming in Steveston. It's not like he's a stranger to Storybrooke, and last we saw, he was chilling with his daughter. Unless, of course, he decided to take his daughter and flee the EF when the first curse broke, since we haven't seen him since Snow (and then Killian) cast curses to bring people back from the EF.
