Honestly though, the creators and writers really did screw up with Cinderella. There's a reason Ivy/Drizella and the episode "One Little Tear" were as popular as they were. It was because she as a character was interested and well acted while the episode with Tremaine offered interesting twists and balanced perspective on moral dilemmas. It added depth to Tremaine in a way we never saw with Cinderella. She's just so forgettable compared to Snow. And while Snow could be annoying at times, she always had this sparkle that brought hope and the possibility of tomorrow. With Cinderella, it's as a dim as the inside of a cabinet. Not to mention, the storytelling for her and Henry's relationship was just terrible. In S1, we got to see by the tenth episode, Snow and Charming fall in love and her try to forget that love all while dodging King George and Regina which would bolster support in them conquering their obstacles. By the 10th episode of this season, we only get a morsel of the relationship being built and the timeline decides to go at hyper speed for the Henry/Ella relationship where they are already married and have become parents. No build-up or anything. I think if more time was spent fixing that aspect of S7, it wouldn't be as painful to watch.
