I don't actually think any character's death would benefit the series, it's not like anyone really needs to die. That being said, let me go over some hypotheticals:


 * David/Charming - It's true what some people have said here already, Charming is kinda useless. I actually quite like the character and Josh Dallas in the role (he never clunks for me, but to be fair, he's never really given challenging material), but what annoys me so much about Snow and Charming is how they're a joint character. The fact that they share one heart is great, I love how they're the very definition of OTP, but they're always together! It was actually so great when, in the last midseason premiere, Mary Margaret appeared without David all through the episode and he only showed up at the end. I wanna see more of Snow without her husband around. It seems like David actually gets more screentime, because he's in practically every Snow scene, but he also gets to tag along with Emma and the Scoobies and chase after bad guys. I want more Snow, less David, please, just like in season 1. Do I want him to die? Hell no. I want him to be there till the very end and for them to still end the show together. But I wouldn't mind if he slipped back into a coma or was abducted for a few episodes.
 * Rumple & Belle - When Emilie was made a regular for season 2 just cos, I always pictured Belle had a bull's eye on her forehead. I just knew that at some point she'd be killed off and that Rumple would go haywire. But they're so overprotective of her, so, even though the character does next to nothing, she's still around. But she's become included enough that I don't want her to die anymore. For me, she can stick around till the show ends, but Rumple needs to die when it does. I don't want Rumbelle to get their happy ending together. He should die to save her or something like that.
 * Robin - He is usually bordering on the side of annoying (season 4 practically butchered his character), and I have never ever seen the chemistry between him and Regina. If Robin died eventually, I probably wouldn't be too upset. When he became a de facto regular in season 3, I also envisioned him to eventually become an endgame character, and he is even joining the official regular cast now, chances are he'll become the 9th core character, but... Yeah he can bite the dust, I'd prolly be cool with it.
 * Zelena - Talk about a character I don't see sticking around for long. For some reason, I really envision Rebecca Mader as a one-season regular, I just can't imagine how she will fit into the main cast and the goings-on of Storybrooke, like... what is she gonna do? I would say "surely they have a plan", but, hey, they sure as hell didn't have plans for Archie, Ruby or Will when they were regulars, so... I kinda predict Zelena to be the wasted mainie of the season and to maybe be written off before it even ends. Just a hunch.
 * Roland - I. Hate. This. Kid. Kill him off. Please. Do it now. His existence is not necessary, and it would bring great drama. Kill Roland.
