When was it confirmed that one of the witches will be related to THM? They had seven members of the Coven at the casting of the curse. One was Drizella, now replaced by Anastasia. But they needed Regina to be the eighth, which theoretically implies they were down a member. Gothel could try to recruit Alice. When did they say they needed Regina to be the eighth? They already had eight, they had seven members plus Gothel which is eight. They only needed her to cast the Curse, not to be the eighth member and invited Zelena.

There was only seven. Five hooded witches, Drizella and Gothel.

Also Drizella flats out stated Regina would be the 8th ingredient as in the eighth witch to help cast the curse.
