I mean, would they be just in the final scene(s) as cliffhanger? But then, if the show is not renewed, does a different finale air in which the new characters aren't even featured? It's hard for me to predict because it's unclear if the new characters are in both parts or just one. Like will they be like Jekyll & Hyde, where the new characters are significant during the whole finale or are they more like Elsa?

Andrew J. West arrived in Vancouver during the early 6x21 days, but we know they skipped around with the schedule and they shot a 6x18 scene on the very last day. So we can't really say what he filmed for or to what extent. I'm sure him & Alison are a part of the cliffhanger. But even if they are new people arriving in Storybrooke or something, if they already closed out Emma, Snow, & Charming's stories in the happy ending montage, they could probably just leave that "cliffhanger" in for an open-end to the series? I think they'll be featured in some capacity either way.
