Their are other factors in play, even if they brought back most of the original cast, the production staff would not be the same and this would be another factor changing the show..
Another crucial contributing factor on bring back Grimm and IMO is a biggie, the biggie would be perception. Perception based on the actors playing the characters. Lets say they did not create a spinoff and the new show continues to pick up a year or two after the last episode, excluding the epilogue.
Since the Nicolette arc took place in the real world with the marriage of DG and Bitsie, add in, with any day of them having a real child in the real world, we will never see Nick and Juliette as we perceived them in the past.
The only way that could happen is. if they bring back Magique to scratch us all and we end up with selective memory loss of the real world marriage of these two actors.
IMO, this "perception factor" of things to come, good or bad, between their characters. We would never see the show as we saw it in the past, hence, the magic is gone.
IMO, it was one of the additional reason they kept their dating relationship hush hush for a while. Which would be the making of a new interesting topic.
Yes, there are obviously many factors in play.
I see your point about killing the magic. I think this varies from person to person. Some will not read spoilers and interviews, watch “behind the scenes” or “Gag Reels” because it kills the magic. Others do not care and is able to block out everything they know about the real-world when watching a show. I’m personally not interested in celebrity news, so I will tend to “limit my exposure” to the real life of the actors. Of course I know about their marriage and the pregnancy, but I do not read interviews where they talk about it or articles of the type, “this is our home”. And in this particular case, Nick and David have very different personalities, so I will just pretend David Giuntoli is Nicholas Burkhardt’s doppelgänger…
