There is an interesting twisted resolution to Queenie that might just work. The twist starts with Robin being required to return to the Wish Realm (reason to be supplied later). This would work towards ending his arc, which we do know will end. The next part is that it is possible for Regina or Queenie to return with Robin. To facilitate this, Regina and Queenie use the Shears of Destiny to cut the final threads that bind them together. The choice of who stays and who goes will be driven by plot, and will depend on what they want from Lana in terms of character going forward. They could send Regina, and keep the Evil Queen to have another villain available (which would cause no small amount of angst between Rumple, Zelena, and Queenie). Or they could send Queenie, keeping Regina and her redemption, while leaving it implied that Queenie will seek her redemption in the Wish Realm with Robin. My preference would be the latter.

Either way, I think Robin and Regina will get a better ending than what we had in Season 5. And it can put a nice, neat ending to both the Robin arc and the Evil Queen arc, which would leave the main open story lines at this point to be Emma/Gideon and Agrabah.

And while this is all supposition, part of my basis is from the conversation between Regina and Queenie when Regina saved Zelena. Regina mentioned the "Hole in the Heart", which Regina filled with love, first from Henry, then from the gang, and finally from the original Robin. That Hole in Queenie's heart could possibly be filled by the WR Robin, and that could be what starts Queenie on her own (off-screen) redemption. I'd like to see this happen.
