Once Upon a Time is in a flake of a changeover , and that ’s pose it mildly . As the show get under one’s skin quick to close out time of year six , with a just - announce seventh season on the manner , we ’ve learned that a bunch of the actor will not be coming back next class . Here ’s everyone who ’s still on board the OUAT train … and who ’s getting the hell out of Storybrooke .
Who we know is coming back (so far):
Lana Parrilla as Regina Mills
Robert Carlyle as Mr. Gold / Rumple
Colin O’Donoghue as Killian / Hook
Once Upon a clip will be going through some majors transmutation after Sunday ’s two - part time of year finis , but we already have an idea where things will be direct in the next season . ABC has declare that season seven is run short to be shifting its focus onto three major characters from the serial : Regina Mills ( Lana Parrilla ) , Captain Hook ( Colin O ’ Donoghue ) , and Rumpelstiltskin ( Robert Carlyle ) , who ’ve all confirmed they ’re returning .
This most likely means that none of them will die in the season finale — this primarily refers to Rumple , whose impending death was kind of hinted at once it was revealed he used to be a Savior . These core graphic symbol will be joined by newbie Andrew J. West and Alison Fernandez , who will look in the time of year six finale and are expected to play a major role in season seven .
Gone for good:
Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan
Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow White
Josh Dallas as Prince Charming
Rebecca Mader as Zelena
Jared S. Gilmore as Henry Mills
Emilie de Ravin as Belle
That ’s a all-fired boastful list of farewell . We already learned that Jennifer Morrison was leaving the show after season six , with a possible cameo in season seven , and Rebecca Mader confirmed this morning that Zelena would be making her grand expiration after Sunday ’s episode , though not by option .
However , Entertainment Weeklyhas also confirmed that Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas are leaving the show , which was previously heavily suggest . In addition , Emilie de Ravin ( Belle ) and Jared S. Gilmore ( Henry Mills ) will also be leaving at the end of the season . Gilmore ’s issue was implied , as it ’s rumored Henry has been replaced by an older actor , but de Ravin ’s exit was a bit of a surprisal . Update : de Ravinhas revealedthat she wanted to continue play Belle on the series , but the showrunners decided not to bring her back next time of year .
This think of that every main character reference in the next time of year will be miss one of the most important people in their life . Rumple will be without Belle , Hook will be without Emma , and Regina will be without Henry ( or at least the Henry that we acknowledge ) . To call this a gamble would be a major understatement — though many OUAT fans will be glad to see Belle eventually rid of Rumple , who ’s become a toxic figure in her life sentence .
Unconfirmed but probably staying:
Beverley Elliott as nan
Keegan Connor Tracy as Blue Fairy
Raphael Sbarge as Dr. Hopper
Lee Arenberg as Grumpy
All of these doer are side part who ’ve come in and out of the show over the years , so it ’s still ill-defined whether they ’ll be back for season seven . However , all of them have posted onTwitterabout being stimulate that the show is take another season , so it seems very possible that they ’ll be back this pin , even if it ’s not in every sequence .
Wild cards:
Giles Matthey as Gideon
Tony Amendola as Geppetto
Geppetto has made a few cameo this season , admit in the musical wedding episode , so it ’s possible he ’ll return for next time of year . The actor has n’t indicated whether he ’s come back , though he does share a lot of images onTwitterabout devotee ship Granny and Geppetto … yes that ’s apparently a matter . As far as Gideon , Rumple and Belle ’s grown - up Word who arrived in the midriff of time of year six , it really count on what happens to his character during the time of year six finish . He might die , he may go back to being a sister , or he could stay on for another time of year . I guess we ’ll find out Sunday .
We ’ll keep you updated as we get word more about what ’s sure to be one of the weirdest season modulation in television chronicle . And yes , I ’m including Scrubs .
