I'm hoping that since Bucky has gone under a deep-freeze again (spoilers) he might have a little more time before they need him back.

That aside, I think Zelena would be like Cora on OUATiW, where she appears mostly in flashbacks because the spinoff's events take place concurrently with her appearance on the main show. So we see flashbacks of her being banished from Oz and training Mombi or whatever, but in the "present" with Ruby/Dorothy/Mulan it's just Mombi and the Nome King with mentions of Zelena.

Given Ruby and Mulan probably being a major part of the series, we could also see Snow, Belle, and/or Aurora stopping by at some point.

And also since Oz is more directly rooted into the main plot of Once thanks to Zelena, we might get to see more connections between the spinoff and the main series, whereas Wonderland only had Jefferson and Cora who have both been gone since Season 2.
