They might get shows on Freeform,
whatever happened to that horror show they were apart of? Is that still a thing? Did that go well?

No, it was cancelled after one season.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"If this trend of low but steady + ABC dumpster fire continues next year…geez, could we actually see a s8?
No way. Next season would be the last. I don’t see Colin, JMO, or Lana staying for more then one more season. Plus ending the show at 150 + episodes is a really good thing IMO.
I don’t see those three returning either but ABC could try to make a go of it, the writers can just keep saying “it’s a new story!” Not saying it’s a bang up wonderful idea or that it’d hold any water as a TV viewer but ABC might look at their numbers/bank account and say “yeah, one more year.”
If the new characters end up being received well enough to even improve ratings just a bit, S7 could end up being a transitional season keeping some old cast with the focus completely on the new characters’ stories in any seasons after.

Exactly
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Yeah, but this show has never successfully transitioned in a new character. All the characters that came on later in the show are disliked and are not written for. I can’t imagine them being able to successfully integrate a likeable character at this point. Their characters have all become some unlikable.
Found this interesting piece of information, courtesy of RJK from SpottedRatings:
Found this ranker among the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox) and thought it might be interesting, especially when it comes to perhaps helping with mock schedules… The percentage of adults 18-49 viewing that is also done in the presence of a child (2-17).
TOP 10 COMEDIES
The Middle (ABC) ………………… 16.8%
The Goldbergs (ABC) …………… 16.7%
Speechless (ABC) ……………….. 15.6%
Fresh Off the Boat (ABC) ………. 15.5%
American Housewife (ABC) …… 15.4%
The Simpsons (Fox) ……………… 14.8%
Imaginary Mary (ABC) …………… 13.7%
Real O’Neals (ABC) ………………. 13.2%
Last Man Standing (ABC) ………. 12.8%
Black-ish (ABC) ……………………. 12.7%(MODERN FAMILY is next at 12.4%… this used to be a lot higher, but I think the audience has aged and they haven’t added new child viewers along the way.)
TOP 10 DRAMAS
Once Upon a Time (ABC) ……… 15.8%
MacGyver (CBS) ………………….. 12.3%
Chicago Fire (NBC) ………………. 11.1%
Lethal Weapon (Fox) …………….. 10.9%
Gotham (Fox) ………………………. 10.8%
Star (Fox) ……………………………. 10.6%
Prison Break (Fox) ……………….. 10.6%
Ransom (CBS) …………………….. 10.6%
Time After Time (ABC) ………….. 10.5%
Empire (FOX) ………………………. 10.5%(through April 23; minimum three episodes)
This could be why ABC could be considering a renewal, and why they’ve continued to keep OUAT at 8pm, despite lower 18-49 ratings. The 18-49 ratings alone might not necessarily be all that matters to them, if they’re targeting a family audience for this show.

Very interesting! Along with that, in the last Ask Ausiello it was revealed:
Good news on the Bubble Series front: Per multiple sources, at least half of the shows featured here are very likely to return next season.
The link in the quote is to a “Bubble Watch” which featured OUAT in slide 10 as a show that was on the bubble.

Main characters, billed as starring, that were brought in after the Pilot have been August, Belle, Red, Neal, Will Scarlet, Robin, and Zelena. I would agree that Will and Robin especially weren’t written very well and perhaps only gained minimal fans, but August, Neal, Belle, Zelena and even Red have all had sizable fan bases. I think it’s at least possible to bring in a few new characters and write them well who could gain fans. The key will be for A and E not to bite off more than they can chew with too many new characters and plot lines per usual.

You forgot one, and it’s arguably the one A and E would use to show that they can bring in new characters to help transition a show and sell a show (for better or for ill)…
Hook.

Hook.
Channing Dungey, the current ABC President, even mentioned in an interview back in 2013 that she thought the introduction of Hook in Season 2 helped the show:
Some series will bring in new characters, or even more dramatically, hire new showrunners, in a bid to avoid the sophomore slump. Dungey says Once Upon a Time benefitted after Captain Hook was added as a character in Season 2.
“You are hoping the promise of the show you saw in Season 1 will really blossom in Season 2,” she says. “It’s trial and error. Sometimes it takes several weeks for a character to grow into who they’re going to become. You can’t get too caught up in those immediate actions.”Source: http://www.tvguide.com/news/revolution-mindy-project-nashville-sophomore-slump-1072364/
