Honestly, I think Ginny and Josh could be moved to recurring characters, (Give MM her old teaching job back, and let David run the Sheriff's station). and then make room for a new FT couple (or other FT characters) to become the center of the show for a bit. I don't see this happening ever XD The creators have made it clear that they consider this to be telling of the "Snow White" story, and even demoting Ginny and Josh would be a major shift from that idea. They pretty much demoted them without technically demoting them. The "Snow White" story wasn't relevant anymore after S2. I don't see any reason why they should continue to be on the show other than being a symbol of what the show used to be about. You are adding logic to a show without it. Ginny and  Josh are central to the story, doing absolutely nothing and will stay regulars.

Problem with all the thought process is, if Sean is a regular and isn't doing anything at all, then no others should or would be dropped before him and/or Zelena, unless a "bold storytelling move". I'm saying that Josh and Ginny might not want to remain technically background characters and the fact that they are "central to the story" is not what's going to make them sign a contract for S6.

These contracts are not just about what is logical to the story, it's about what the actors want as well and if any actor won't want to be in the show next season, then the story is not what's going to make them stay. If they want to leave and there is a plan to use their characters in the story, then the story will have to change.
