For some reasons, i think Agnes Bruckner's role (possible adult Lily) could be the Author

In the past, the creators said that "the author is someone we'll meet, not someone we already knew" and "Operation Mongoose will lead outside of Storybrooke"

After Emma and Regina's roadtrip to New York, they bring back Robin, Roland, Zelena and Agnes's mysterious role, who is the only could be considered as "a new character"

Well, there is also Gorin the Peddler, but he filmed a scene with Rumple way before Emma and Regina leave the town

And also, someone reported that Regina've filmed a scene with Agnes's character and then POOFED away

Why would she show off her magic to a (normal) stranger ?

Morever, usually after the episode title is spoiled and the cast begin shooting, there will be one or some casting annoucements for that episode

If 4x21 and 4x22 focus on the Author, should they announce their casting decison ?

That the "Agnes joins the show as #nospoiler" news appear after the "Lily" title is posted on Twitter makes me think about this

Furthermore, a 3-episode arc is a good amount of time for the Author's story

. ..

That's why I think that Agnes will play a really important role on the show
