I have an idea, but a lot of what the "in-between" story they want to tell depends entirely on which actors they can agree to come back and for how long of a duration. Jen is the only one they have a contractual agreement with for 1 episode. Ginny seems really open to making guest appearances. But I imagine if A&E call the actors at the right time, none of them seem like people who would actually turn it down.

My ultimate wish given the circumstances? If they could perhaps get just 1 former main to come back in different episodes. And with a combination of Lana/Colin/Robert almost always appearing, maybe that would be believable enough. Like it wouldn't have to be EACH episode, but if it was like: 7x01 - Jen, 7x02 - Jared, 7x03 - Bex, 7x05 - Emilie, 7x08 - Ginny & Josh..... with maybe Henry/Emma/Belle making a few more appearances than the rest due to their close connection to Regina/Hook/Rumple. However, I am getting the impression that when they say reboot, they really mean ushering in a whole new set of characters, other than the 3, and they're not exactly going to be prioritizing showing what happened between Henry at 14 and Henry in his late 20s - and that I cannot see them carrying on a reasonable 22-ep season with.
