But I just can’t think of a good reason why people would be breaking out into song all of a sudden unless there was some sort of curse but no one really wants to see another one of those.
Right; they first major hurdle here is that the reason for the sudden sing-a-long needs to make sense in the show (the actual universe of the show–meaning the reason can’t just be “ratings!” or “Well, it’s Disney after all!”). And given that our current main antagonists are the Black Fairy (too loosely defined right now so no idea if there’s a singing connection), Gideon (same as the Fairy), the Evil Queen (who’s currently experiencing a bout of reptile-itis); and possibly Jafar
(who has given no indication that he’s prone to make people burst into song) then I’m left with “Random Big Bad comes to town and everyone starts to sing cause reasons.” Which is….eh.
If they’re wrapping up Bobby I imagine Emilie as well. I believe JMO is gonna be a lock for S7.
JMo, Colin and Lana are the only locks I’ve got. My first thought after Bobby was Bex, actually. She’s been given little to do this year and they seem to be struggling with what to do with Zelena now that she and Regina have made nice.
