It also wouldn’t make sense for Cora to die yet, seeing as we still have a lot of unanswered questions about her (which obviously can’t all be answered in TMD)
1) How did Henry Sr meet her at wonderland?
2) What worlds has she crossed?
3) Lancelot’s storyline, I’m sure it’s bound to come and Cora obviously needs to appear in it
4) How did she know about the details of the curse?

I hope it’s not Cora. She’s an amazing villain and I would personally like her to stick around until the end of the season at least.
Yes, I know that there’s the threat of Greg hanging around and if they killed off Cora before the season finale, they could have him step in and be a threat. However, I don’t really think they’ve built up Greg to do that. I mean they’ve given Cora practically the whole season to build her up, and while I love Barbara Hershey in the role, I still think Cora isn’t as good of a villain yet as Regina was last year to me. She definitely comes across as worse, but I actually think Regina’s actions were worse than Cora’s actions this year have been. Aside from her screwing with her daughter’s mind, I really haven’t seen Cora be that bad, imo. I mean she’s done standard run of the mill villain things, but they’ve hyped her all season to be this really big bad someone that even Regina and Rumple are scared of, and she hasn’t quite lived up to that hype yet, imo.
I guess it’s possible that if they do kill her off in “The Miller’s Daughter” she will have lived up to that hype, but I’d rather they kill her/banish her at the end of the season since they’ve devoted so much time to her already even if it is more predictable to do that ways.
I thought the same thing at the start, seeing as Regina was an amazing villain as the EQ, HOWEVER Cora is definetly worse than her or Rumple.
1) Her actions definitely rival Regina’s, Don’t forget she basically killed off a good portion of the refugees on the island back in FTL.
2) She has no remorse for her actions at all. thus the “love is weakness” Quote, she cares for no one, alive or dead (you could argue that she cared for Regina, however it seems her real plan is to take the Dagger), i suppose you could say she’s a female Voldemort. At least Rumple and Regina have showed real emotion throughout the series and some Remorse.
3) She is smart, and manipulative. Just look at how easily she was able to lure Regina back in, and how she is explaining to her now that killing everyone is “best for her” and the fact she targeted Rumple at the worst time in 2×12, sucking upto him only to kiss him, right after the love of his life lost her memories.
Don’t forget the screen time difference as well, Lana and Robert are regulars, so we are obviously going to see more of them, Barbara, being the established actress that she is probably doesn’t wanna stick around for that long (Which is ashame)
