And of course, since the setting is Storybrooke, we'll get familiar residents appearing here and there for some cohesion. Archie is definitely making a comeback. Yes, but in Season 1 several of the "episodic" guest stars still appeared in multiple episodes. Cinderella/Ashley and Thomas/Sean are good examples. For flashback, Henry Sr. is a good example. So I wonder if we will have other characters like that, that appear in multiple episodes in the season, but just kind of randomly in various episodes, if that makes sense. Well, the question arises--Are they important enough to appear once more? I say no. Count will get his business resolve or die trying. Nemo will find his father or something. Ella will go back to Offscreensville.

You can't compare that to season 1 as Ella is a Disney Princess and one of the top Fairytales ever and they were building the town. Henry Sr. was the villain's escort and father so he obviously had to return. That's like being surprise that Cora returns ever season. XD
