Instead of going down this depressing route, why not just end it on a happy note and have Emma and Hook leave together on the JR on their honeymoon going on adventures off screen.
Henry.
Emma would never abandon him forever like that. Sure, they could do the whole “we got a letter from your mom today! She sure does miss you” but six years of this show have largely been devoted to the Emma/Henry relationship. Now you could argue that the Henry/Emma relationship has felt more or less hollow for awhile now (an argument I would make as well) but in the minds of A and E, it’s not. They don’t see it that way. And with one of the bigger themes of the show being abandonment and breaking the cycle of it, having Emma run off with her new hubby with a new life and leaving the son she broke the original curse with behind would be…distasteful. For a variety of reasons.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"That’s why I’m suggesting that the people leaving be swept in a curse that takes them back to the EF and then next season is about the ones that stay find their way back to reunite the whole family.
If it was one person leaving then sure maybe a death but this is more than half the cast. The story reason has to make sense. Not seeing 5 deaths happening.
I don’t see them killing off Emma. It would be probably the worst mistake this show has ever made, and I doubt they want to prove the point of Jafar the villain that saviors don’t live happily ever after.
It’s better to write Emma and Hook off that way. Together than the other way cause that is just very depressing. And it also doesn’t mean Emma’s abandoning him. She’s going off on her honeymoon. That doesn’t mean forever and Henry can always bring her up in dialogue should she stay. It could still be referenced that he sees and lives with her at times.
I'm not going to single out the ones I was told but I personally would be surprised to see RC, JMo, Gosh, Emilie back

That list was my personal opinion, I'd be surprised if Colin left if they wanted him still

Well I disagree but that’s just subjective on which I think is the most important relationship because only hearing that Henry sees Emma or hears from her now and again because she’s off with a new life is depressing to me.
Death is sad too of course. But it would follow certain savior tropes.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"So it’s much better to see Hook go away from the family he’s built because Emma dies and of course Emma dying means she doesn’t get a happy ending? Husband and Wife for one episode and then separated forever. Real great show you’ve got there.
I think you’re misinterpreting what I’m suggesting. They go off on their honeymoon and written off. That doesn’t mean they stay on their honeymoon the entire time. If JMO doesn’t come back that means she can be off screen same with Colin should he not return. Which personally once you marry Hook and Emma, they become a packaged deal.
And furthermore who the heck says Jared is staying?
Again you’re not explaining how they will work the story of all these characters leaving.
Husband and Wife for one episode and then separated forever. Real great show you’ve got there.
People are often reunited and then separated on this show. Neal brings back Rumple and dies forever. Regina is reunited with Daniel only to have to kill him in the same episode. Regina and Henry Sr. are reunited in the afterlife and she watches him depart. Cora comes back and is reunited with Regina (and to a lesser extent Rumple) and then dies. The show literally starts off with someone trying to separate a husband and wife forever.
I’m not saying I want Emma to die. I’m saying that I think it’s stronger storywise having her die (fulfilling her role as Savior since that does sometimes happen in their cycle) than to simply be off screen, never seen, but apparently still communicating with Henry. You don’t think it reads as incredibly cheap to have Emma “around” but never coming to save the day, see her family, or appear? I think that’s just straight up ridiculous. The writers would need a very sound reason why Emma wouldn’t be coming to fight the current Big Bad, whatever it is.
Even if JMo were to guest spot, having Emma ride in at the last second ater 11 episodes not appearing just to defeat the bad guy is…weird.
And furthermore who the heck says Jared is staying?
No one, certainly not me. I said Jared would leave and become the Adult!Henry. And seeing Adult!Henry without his mother(s) is depressing for me given that Henry relationship with both his mothers has been a bedrock of this show. Which means you need a very sound reason for Emma to not be around for her son. This leads me to…..
Again you’re not explaining how they will work the story of all these characters leaving.
Except I did. Snowing leave to the EF (a door, a portal, a bean, a heretofore unexplained plot device) to rule and rebuild. Regina likely stays (cause I think Lana would stay); Jared leaves but is aged up into the new actor so that the story now becomes Adult Henry and his adopted daughter, who I think might be the new Savior because the casting calls are gender reversed story parallels of Emma and Henry in S1 and because that’s how A and E roll, wheels within wheels. If we’re supposed to believe that this new Henry has become cynical then I can only imagine it’s because he’s lost Violet (his wife) and Emma (his mother) in death, the latter of which gets JMo off the show. Because they wont kill both Emma and Hook at the same time, Hook goes off on the JR, which also has the nice byproduct that he can return for guest spots.

Emma dying isn’t necessarily sad either. It can be bittersweet like how it was on Buffy 522.

I can see Emma dying as a 50/50…it could happen and it couldn’t. If we don’t get a Season 7, either Emma dies as the Savior or gets her happily ever after. If we do get a Season 7 without JMO, I see the show pulling a Vampire Diaries with JMO, and have Emma be placed under a sleeping curse and then have JMo return for the final episodes of OUAT leading up into the Series Finale.
If Emma is placed under a sleeping curse, and Ginny & Josh still want off the show, it could be explained with Snowing going back to the EF in order to search for some long lost magical McGuffin to break the “unbreakable” sleeping curse. If Colin doesn’t stay, I can see them sending Hook off on the Jolly Roger to look for his on cure for the curse. And of course they all return in the end, for the final few episodes of OUAT.
If Lana wants off the show, I think Regina ultimately sacrificing herself to save her family is a good send off. I know peace in death sounds a little morbid, but maybe being reunited with her parents, Robin, & Daniel in the afterlife is her happy ending. And maybe towards the end of Season 7, Henry could summon his mother’s spirit for advice and Spirit Regina could give Henry one of those “Mufasa/Simba” talks and help him realize the hero she knew he was born to be. But if Lana wants to stay on the show, I think @RumplesGirl is right, and she’ll continue to be the Mayor/Guardian of Storybrooke, who helps Adult Henry in finding a way to wake up Emma.
If Bex wants off the show, then…I see Zelena leaving to go back to Oz to raise Robyn, and having a guest star in Season 7. If she stays, but Lana leaves….there’s a possibility that if Regina dies or leaves, she could repair her relationship and leave Zelena in charge as Mayor while she’s away or dead, as Zelena showed initial interest in the position back in Season 5. And if both Bex and Lana stay, well…I think nothing will quite change between now and a Season 7, Zelena will do whatever it is she does and Regina stays Mayor.
Overall…I think we should just wrap things up with Season 6 and be done with the series. Much like @TheWatcher, I don’t want to see OUAT get any worse than it already is, and it’s always best to bow out with grace. However….if there is a Season 7, I really think it would be about “Saving the Savior”. Much like Jesus story was, his death and resurrection….if Emma falls at the end of this season, possibly via Sleeping Curse, Season 7 could be about finding a way to wake her up, thus “resurrecting” the Savior.

Or they could just use a curse and send everyone leaving to the EF and then have S7 be about reuniting the family.
I do not think Emma needs to die whatsoever. I could see them pulling an Elena.
However I still don’t see them getting a S7 tbh. I guess we’ll notice a trend once we get ratings for this episode and the next one.
I very much doubt they are going to end this show with Emma and Hook going on a honeymoon. That would just be nothing to do with anything. There is a reason that the wedding is going to be in 620 and that is so they can actually finish off the plot in the last two episodes. Something else is going to happen with the actual main characters of the show in the last two episodes and it isn’t going to be about their wedding, it is going to be about whatever is going on with the Black Fairy or Gideon or Jafar or just whatever is going on there.
