Interesting. So, I'll probably post more about that on the 6B thread as the weeks ensue, but a reset/shake-up I can see given key spoilers (potential engagement, the whole redux of Regina being the villain, Rumple finding his son, etc).

Also, that "cast exit" note seems to imply there will be changes, which I expect. I think all the characters are pretty much on the verge of finished. Snow and Charming have a reduced role. Rumple and Belle are on a task to probably remedy their rough journey (even though he's still clearly the immortal, powerful Dark One). Regina and Zelena will probably make amends and move on. Emma and Hook will live happily ever after.

If season 7 wasn't mentioned, then I'd think that this season was a good indication of it drawing to the end.
