ParticipantFrom the article:
According to sources, the actor/actress in question has not yet been officially released from his/her contract, which has led some to speculate that the show could be setting up a Buffy-style bait and switch. A well-placed insider, however, maintains, “As it stands now, [redacted] is not returning next season.”
The fact that the actor in question hadn’t been let out of his or her contract when this blind item was written indicates a few things. Assuming the blind item is even about OUAT, the actor might still technically be contracted to ABC/Disney but could return at a later date. However, if the actor has gotten out of the contract since the blind item was written, things don’t look so great and the death could be permanent. Also worth considering is that the blind item might not be about OUAT, since the article specifically said the show was killing off its star. Robin is certainly not the star of OUAT in the way Regina and Emma are, so that doesn’t really make sense. That being said, this is an assemble cast, so I guess any of the main characters could be considered a “star.”
Emma, Snow, and Regina are technically the three leads of the show. Looking at the tombstones, we have seen their names, plus Robin.

ParticipantI know what I want it to be: Mulan, Aurora, and Phillip’s tale from S2. We’ve waited a long time for them to come through on the promise to fill that in. And with Red and Mulan wandering around together, they’ve got a good chance to tell it.
What are the odds, though? It definitely would not be finale material. Oh, wait. “Swan Song.”
How about Baelfire’s adventures in Neverland?

ParticipantWell, if this doesn’t reveal the fate of Galavant before ABC officially announce that it’s cancelled, nothing will. Joshua Sasse has been cast as the lead in a CW pilot.
Is Gary Galavant even needed as a regular character in Season 3? His story is kind of over…
They could easily make fun of the fact that this show is called Galavant, but he’s not even there any more! They WOULD do that.

ParticipantBasically, Cruella said the apprentice lied to Henry.
Sneaky Mouse.

ParticipantAlso, that tent and that dude’s attire have me worried that the show is once again going to show its unintentionally-racist side, again. As in, I see Native American imagery, but a white guy.
Yup. If it makes you feel any better, it looks like a mash-up, so equal opportunity cultural appropriation.
The tent isn’t Native American. If I were to make a bet, I’d say it’s a Mongolian or Turkic ger (or yurt, respectively, depending on the language). As in, this:

So I’m going to assume they are going for shaman, rather than medicine man. Still, white dude.
It doesn’t really make me feel any better, but thank for this information. You learn something new every day!

ParticipantNew Child-Baelfire does not look like the others (he has lighter skin, for one thing). According to IMDb, Sebastian Wilkinson has a TV movie coming up, so he must have been unavailable (or, you know, four years older, but this Bae still looks older than Sebastian did in “The Crocodile”).

ParticipantI think the river Hades attempts to dunk Hook into is the River Styx, because it is green and has souls swimming in it like in the Disney movie.
Yeah, here’s my theory about the effects of the waters of the Styx on the…

Dead: Destruction of the SoulJiminy’s Journal
ParticipantThis could either disprove or validate my theory about Zelena (see general spoilers board), depending on the river. I wonder, what happens if a dead person is soaked in the waters of the River Styx? Apparently some accounts say that the Styx can burn off skin, or something?

ParticipantOf course we get them after the full discussion. This does not bode well.
