'ONCE UPON A TIME' PROMOTES TWO TO SERIES REGULAR, THREE LEAVING THE SHOW

After the surprising renewal that the show received a few days ago, it was announced by new showrunner Matheus Ribeiro that three actors would leave the show after season seven: Original stars Lana Parrilla and Robert Carlyle and, season seven addition Alison Fernandez will be leaving the show. Carlyle's character died in season seven finale, so his departure was already expected. Parrilla's character Regina Mills is the show's main protagonist. According to Parrilla, her departure was "totally necessary due to the story we're telling this year". Parrilla is expected to appear in at least 12 episodes of the season. Fernandez is also expected to guest star in this season

Meanwhile, Rose Reynolds and Tiera Skovbye, who portrays Alice and Robin will be joining Colin O'Donoghue, Andrew J. West, Dania Ramirez and Mekia Cox in the main cast
