Another star exits Once Upon a Time, even as ABC has renews its fairy tale fantasy drama for a seventh season. Once Upon a Time has been a very successful series for ABC since its debut in 2011, and a natural one for the Disney-owned network to produce given that it has uniquely brought to life several classic fairy tale characters; including, Snow White, Prince Charming and the Evil Queen (though the show has also featured such modern favorites as Elsa and Anna from Frozen).
