Hmmm. . . Emma was a "hero", while knowingly in possession of a stolen car. Then she went on to "save" her son in the most morally questionable manner, yet she remained a hero. Snow and Charming were the "heroes", despite the fact that they had Lily's kidnapping on their conscience and Snow had Cora's blood on her hands. I didn't realize that to be a hero, one has to be morally pure. Good luck in finding someone like that in real life, let alone in fictional works today.

''Primetime tv shows rarely recast roles. And they certainly wouldn't recast someone like Red, which would have infuriated the fans of the show. ''

Which goes to show that catering to the fans can be a big mistake. You don't need to cater to the fans, but you can't piss them all off so much that they all stop watching either. Besides, recasting just looks tacky, and makes it hard to watch the series as a whole. I hate when anything has to recast anyone.
