I think this totally hints that gathering of those actors was more than just a farewell. I'm a little disappointed... I don't think Jen is returning... The way they conducted this interview... I dunno... Sounds like they're giving fans the heads up that the past mains have been invited to return and if they don't, it was the actor's choice. So I take that as they are anticipating some no-shows and will not be here for any secondhand blame a la May 2017. I agree with this. Also, they said it was an open invitation, so it sounds like even people who aren't mains may be coming back (or allowed to come back anyway), and honestly, a lot of those actors probably have more freetime than people like Ginny, Josh, and Jen, so I almost expect those characters to show up more than Snow, Charming, and Emma. That being said, I really hope Ginny, Josh, and Jen try to come back, even for like one scene, since they were mains on the first six seasons.
