I don’t think the show will work without Jennifer being in every episode.
Right, agree. These past few episodes have been Emma-lite and it’s not like the show is hitting it out of the park. The show is at its strongest when it focuses on that micro-core of Emma, Snow, Regina–three multi-generational females with different faults and virtues. If Snow is leaving and only going to be a guest maybe once or twice an episode and if Emma will be relegated to only a handful of episodes, then Regina is all that’s left and while I think Lana does a great job, Regina alone isn’t enough to carry because you need the other two to play off of.
