1 + 1 = 2.

They MIGHT serve some other excuse, like time moving differently between TLWM and TEF/wherever it is Henry goes, but most likely they've just been cursed.

I sort of imagined Henry showing up in the LA area at the age of 28. :P While Henry might age more than other characters, all the characters will have aged some amount. Henry's aging was always going to appear more dramatic, because him going from 14 to 24 is a lot of a bigger deal than Regina and Hook going from 30 to 40 and Rumple going from 50 to 60. Yep, as I pointed out that we had Barbara Hershey and Tony Perez play 40 year old versions of their characters as well as 60 year old versions. Bobby Carlyle played a young (30s/40s) Rumple as well as the mid 50s Rumple. Elizabeth Mitchell and her co stars played the 20/30s version of Arendelle royalty and the 40/50 year old versions.

So, we have a lot of precedent that says the same actor tends to play the age range of 30s to 50s, which means Emma, Regina, Snow, David, Zelena, etc can all be layed by their original actors without any real change.

It is confirmed that the other characters have aged. Just because they are played by the same actors....see above.
