It's time for someone to die.
Yup, according to TVLine.com, a "Once Upon a Time" character will be killed off the show.
And before you dismiss this as minimal news, you should know this isn't like last time. Ya know, like when Mother Superior died and came back to life.
Also, the character that's leaving the show isn't someone like Grumpy or Grandma.
According to TVLine, show creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz confirmed "Once Upon a Time" will say goodbye to a major character. The only series regular that is safe is Robert Carlyle. As the website explains, the show creators confirmed the exclusion of Carlyle's character, Rumplestiltskin, from this hint since he technically gave himself up at the end of the last episode.
As you begin to speculate, let's recap the identity of Season 3b's big bad - The Wicked Witch of the West.
The new villain will be played by Rebecca Mader ("Lost"). Judging from the promo, the evil character from the world of Oz will cause some problems - both in the Enchanted Forest and in the real world.

Robbie Kay, who played previous big bad Peter Pan, commented, according to EOnline, on the arrival of Mader as the Wicked Witch.
"It's certainly an exciting prospect for the show, so it will be interesting to see how they put a twist on [her character]," Kay said in an interview with E! News according to the website. "To be honest, it would be fantastic for them to sort of delve into that whole Wizard of Oz land and to see whether they can implement more characters into the story."
So who do you think will be leaving the show? Just how wicked will the Wicked Witch of the West be? Share your thoughts below
