I think this totally hints that gathering of those actors was more than just a farewell. I'm a little disappointed... I don't think Jen is returning... The way they conducted this interview... I dunno...

Sounds like they're giving fans the heads up that the past mains have been invited to return and if they don't, it was the actor's choice. So I take that as they are anticipating some no-shows and will not be here for any secondhand blame a la May 2017.
