First of all, OUAT will have a fifth season. No worry about that: ratings are still really good, the Frozen arc had excellent ratings at the beginning and the show is close from syndiction. And the fanbase is strong (just watch Netflix, OUAT is one of the two most watched shows). So no problem with that.

Then, about Snow White/MM. A lot of persons seem to complain about this; because she did not have a lot of importance. You forget something people: she just had a baby! Ginny already said she wanted something small in 4a, because she wanted to be with her baby. And she already confirmed it: she thinks she is ready now, so more scenes with Snow in 4b. Same with 3b. She was pregnant. She did what she could. And it was amazing for her. I know some shows where the actress left when she was pregnant. Ginny stayed before and even after the birth of the baby. That's something amazing from her. Same with Josh.

For Regina. She had the whole 3b arc for her. It is normal she is not too important in 4a after 3b. I'm sure she'll be more important in 4b, especially with Maleficent :) Ouat is not a show about Regina ^^

Minor characters. Like Grany, Ruby, etc... Don't forget they have some projects, not just OUAT. I mean, they don't have to stay here and do nothing in their professional life, until we need them on Once because fans want them xD Whale & Tink have Izombie. Granny has a comedy show; Robin left cos he is doing a film, etc... Moreover, with one arc per half of season, it is hard to have this kind of characters more important ^^

I won't talk about Frozen or Rumple. We like it or not, that's our opinions. But for a lot of things, Adam & Eddy must deal with what happens in real life, they can't do what they want how they want, cos actors have their own lives ^^ I think they're doing a great jobs, it could have been much worse ^^ You make really good points overall, and I just have to add that Adam and Eddy do an amazing job working around actors schedules, and not making you miss seeing them too much. On other shows (on ABC at least), characters sometimes get really dumb reasons for not appearing. I think my personal favorite dumb reason was a somewhat minor recurring character having to "go take care of a sick aunt", and then she was back like a half season later, and all I could think was "hmmm... wonder what she (as in the actress) was busy with". Adam and Eddy just go with the much simpler explaination of: the characters are there, but off screen.
