From an in-show perspective, she brings the funny and crazinesss which makes the sickening campy fun of Once into creepy campy fun. We barely got to see Regina, so I can't be surprised.

From anywhere else, It seems like they are trying their best in balancing the characters out, but I find that they are just blaoting the cast and doing a Will or maybe just a Belle.

You bring in Robin(Will) to have a potential story, but he's pretty much doing nothing and we aren't learning anything about him. Then you Zelena(Belle) being a regular with a prominent position and story and likability and used for the random one or two scenes and that's it.

It's bad enough that they still sort of Belle'd Belle, but at least they give a bit more. I know that they promote their contract to keep them, but I've seen more drawves than Zelena and Robin on average.
