I'm not sure that it was always the plan, just as I am not 100% sure that bringing Rebecca back as Zelena was always the plan. Although, they did leave an opening to bring back Zelena. They did not, however, leave the same opening for Robin. His body is very much buried in the SB graveyard, and we are not sure what happened with his spirit at this point.

Another thought does occur to me, though. Whatever else happens with Robin (and I doubt Sean would be coming back unless there was something more than what he got as a regular), my guess for his final scene will be Regina visiting Robin's grave with that ale from Dunbroch, and getting a chance to say a more proper farewell.

And look at the bright side, maybe for once Regina will not get totally screwed over?
