Yeah, OUaT has well and truly killed this trope of all the villains being goodies who had a bit of a bad day and cursed themselves into a villain.

Oh and her fight with Regina consisting of some generic magic blasts and then she ***** away when Zelena ran her over. This is supposed to be "the most ultimate villain EVERRRR!!!".

Jennifer Morrison has quit the show.

But something tells me that the show will not get renewed.

I'm surprised actually, she was the one I thought would be a certainty for returning. It was Robert Carlyle I was sure may not want to continue.

I enjoyed it.

I'm looking forward to the finale, it's all feeling very final (which is good since it's called The Final Battle ), I like that they took this approach in case it does end with this finale.

My first thought when finding out about Jennifer leaving was that Emma would probably die in the battle (taking the Black Fairy down with her of course), but then I remembered about the very likely time jump coming so even if a season 7 went ahead, it would make sense for Emma not to be around as much but still be alive.

I do wonder if they'll hark back to season 3 by having Rumple die taking down the Black Fairy as he did with Pan but I think she's Emma's alone to defeat at this point.

But why the **** was Belle not at the wedding? Even Zelena was there ffs

The way this show has consistently neglected her all throughout the show has been ridiculous.

I remember that before the musical episode the writers said Rumple and Belle would not be around "due to the events in the previous episode 'The Black Fairy' although Rumple will make an appearance.

So, what was the reason for Belle not appearing?

Also, all of this stuff about being contracted to appear in one episode of season 7, does that mean Emma's contract included that 1 episode already before they opened negotiations to renew the contract or that's what they've asked of her after she quit?

The musical episode was okay I guess? The songs were fun but I thought the story was weak and very thrown together. The writers wanted to do a musical episode but obviously couldn't come up with a good reason to justify it so it all felt like a redundant gimmick tbh.

It's a shame because if any series should have been able to do a great musical episode it should be Once.

Overall Buffy just did the concept better.

Jennifer Morrison isn't the only Once Upon a Time star leaving the show.

Rebecca Mader – who plays Zelena (aka the Wicked Witch of the West) – will also be departing, making the announcement on her Instagram page after a seventh season was confirmed by ABC.

She began by congratulating the creators of the show as well as stars Lana Parrilla (Regina), Robert Carlyle (Rumplestiltskin), and Colin O'Donoghue (Hook) for the pick-up, before explaining her situation.


"A lot of you have been asking if I will be joining everyone in season 7, so I wanted to let you know personally that unfortunately I am not," she wrote.

"This wasn't my choice but a creative decision of the show that I totally respect and understand."

Mader spent a large part of her post praising the fans, calling them special for making her time feel "meaningful".

"The most important thing is that you all know how much you mean to me," she said.

"I am told frequently both online and in person that by being a part of such a special show, I have in some way changed someone's life. This is hugely meaningful to me.

"I am here to let you know that I am the one who has changed. Not just by playing such a well-written multi-dimensional character, but by the fandom itself. I have heard your stories, your pain, your struggles, your achievements, and I have truly felt you."

So we now know that Zelena is going as well as Emma Swan (although Jennifer Morrison did say she would be appearing as a guest in one episode). And we know that Regina, Rumplestiltskin and Hook will be back.

But what about Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin), Prince Charming (Josh Dallas), Henry Mills (Jared S Gilmore), and Belle (Emilie de Ravin)?

We guess we'll find out soon enough...

I'm still shocked Robert Carlyle is continuing tbh. I always got the impression he had long become a bit bored.

So this has been officially renewed. Very surprised but I'm intrigued to see what this new direction looks like.

Shame about Zelena but it was expected, they haven't really had much for her to do this season.

But, as we knew the rumours about them only wanting to bring those 4 regulars into the reboot I was kind of hoping after Morrison decided to quit that they'd write Hook out with her.

The fact that Hook is still confirmed to be back must mean she dies, right?

Not here for a full season of Hook mooning about Emma being lost in another world or whatever. What other reason could they be split up?

I'm ecstatic at the prospect of losing a lot of this cast though. I didn't realise quite how bored I am of all of them.

Lana and Robert leading.

Snow, Charming and Belle have all been dropped

No more Charming-centric episodes!
