Earlier in the chat, I was saying that the only way I could see either of Snowing being killed is if Ginny wanted to take time off to be a full time mum. And if they had plans to have more kids in the next year or so, maybe that would influence her leaving the show too because they can’t keep making Snow pregnant. She could still live with Josh in Vancouver, and do her own acting stuff during Once’s shooting hiatus. But I dunno that they’d kill off Snow, because it would be like killing the hope of the show, and if the person leaving really wouldn’t be coming back even for flashbacks, then Snow’s not a likely candidate.
That’s the only way I could see them killing Snow too, but I don’t think Ginny wants to give up her career as an actress. She seems to be able to do it all, and like you said, no Snow flashbacks? Unlikely.
The thing is we don’t know how they plan to go about telling the story between August and Neal, if they even still plan on telling that story. For all we know, the story could involve August/Pinocchio and Neal/Bealfire in their youth, so even if MRJ was no long on the show, they could still technically explain it with Dylan Schmidt there instead. Or perhaps we find out how August figured it out without Neal actually onscreen. Even if this were to be a dropped storyline idea, which would frustrate us demanding for more fill in the blanks, I’m sure it wouldn’t be the first storyline idea they’ve dropped.
That’s true but they have said that the jail thing will come back up and I think for the sake of sanity they REALLY need to show to remaining bits of that moments if only so we can all agree on the events and move the heck on.
But you’re right: it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve dropped a storyline.
