It would be detrimental to the show's continued existence if they have to depends on those old characters and not buildup the new ones sufficently. I really have no interest in any of the new characters (aside from adult Henry). Especially considering most of the new characters are just alternate versions of characters that have already been featured on the show. (Do we really need another Cinderella and Alice?) If they were characters that we've never had before I would feel differently.

I'm hoping the main focus of the soft reboot is Regina, Rumple, and Hook helping adult Henry. If the returning characters get sidelined then what was the point in even bringing them back at all? I'm not saying they should take up ALL the screen time, but it would suck if we only get to see them once in a while. After all these are the characters that we fell in love with over the course of 6 seasons. We'll the show's best bet if it wishes to continue is to elevate the new characters.

We will see H2R very often (like every episode), but their story has been told. We really don't need Hook to backstab someone again, Snow to be on the run from Regina, and Rumple to be on the quest for his son. It's called a transition. If you aren't willing to transition to new characters, then might as well pack your bags because "reboot" doesn't mean do the same old thing with the same old characters. But aren't Regina, Rumple, and Hook going to have new stories? Unless I misunderstood something. Also, saying that Regina only had one story before this reboot is not accurate at all. She is by far one of the most dynamic characters I've ever seen on any TV show. Her character development from season 1 to season 6 was absolutely brilliant.
