Um, half of those people really the main cast. The main cast are Regina, Snow, Emma, David, Rumple, then Belle and Hook. Ruby was, Neal was, now Will is. That's like saying Anna and Elsa were the main cast since they were seen and more often than the rest. The main cast doesn't really change. The main is fairly consistent, with a single person alternating at times. Secondary characters are lost in the shuffle. If Ana appears, then they'll (Will & Ana) likely disappear. Will is hardly main cast since his scenes are usually simplified to comic relief. If anyone is joining, it's likely Robin replacing Will or nothing. I don't see anyone dying.

Sonw and Charming will be there, just as Regina, Emma, Henry, Rumple and Belle will be there. I admire your thoughts, but there's no way Anastasia would replace David or hold much significance. Ana is simply Will's love interest in Once, different in Wonderland. David has ties to the main cast and to the main character, Emma. Too many fake deaths and ABC wanting David to live won't get rid of him. David isn't a character equivalent of Ana, if done would only really lead to negativity.
