So it happened in the past cause otherwise we wouldn't know about Dorothy. That's why Emma can't fit her character unless some kind of time travelling is involved but creators already stated that they will never use that plot device. I've honestly always felt like too many people get stuck on that idea, that "the story is already known to us, so it has to have already happened, and can't be happening now"

From the beginning, that hasn't been relevant. Snow White's story appeared in our world in the late 1800s if I'm not mistaken, and yet it only happened in the equivalent of the...1970s of our world, in the EF? Yeah, something like that.

The way I see it, it's something the show will never address, as it's simply better off that way IMO. It would take away from the show no matter what way they went with it, and be a distraction. And it already is, to the people questioning it all the time.

IDK, I just feel we should enjoy the show as it is, and not worry too much about trying to explain everything that's not entirely relevant.
