Diversity is being worked on, just by the fact that we have done the Aladdin story this season. The problem is not Disney so much as America. The majority of stories known by American are either by American or European authors (which means mostly white characters). But I'm sure the show will continue to work on this.

Hype is something outside of the writers control, as ABC does the promos and such.

Tied In Plots is something that Once is going to have a lot of, just by the nature that it is a fantasy show with a large amount of characters. Many people would actually dislike if they did less.

LGBT stuff is also being worked on (and falls unded diversity). Red and Dorothy will probably show up again at some point, Mulan will hopefully show up again, and we could always get a new LGBT character (hopefully a male).
