-I think Snow and Charming would be divorced under the curse. Snow would be a waitress named Autumn or Rain and work at Regina/Roni's bar. Neal would live with her. David/Charming would be one of Victoria's assistants, and she'd run him ragged so he'd never have time to see his son, which in turn would cause problems and arguments between the couple. In their altered memories, Emma would be either Snow or David's sister, due to the closeness in age.

-I could see them making Emma a political activist, protesting most developmens that Victoria and anyone at her company makes in the down, to preserve the history of the town. (yes this is similar to JMo's character of Zoe in HIMYM, but it could work). This would drive Victoria crazy, as Emma would probably get on her nerves on numerous occasions and would then have Emma arrested multiple times. Because of this she'd quickly build a relationship with Killian/Rogers, as he'd be taking her to jail a lot. They wouldn't fall in love, but Rogers would secretly sympathize and agree with Emma's protests and causes.He'd be easy on her as he takes her in, and perhaps let her out hearly for good behavior, etc. Her actions would also complicate things for David, as he'd have to constanly choose between his daughter (or in this case his sister/sister-in-law) or his boss, causing more drama for the family.

-Neal would be a little bit older, and perhaps be friends with Lucy. He frequently doesn't listen to his parents and sneaks off to hang with his aunt (sister) Emma. He'd accompany her to protests or whatever political even Emma was attending. During times Emma would be arrested, Rodgers would drive Neal back to Snow's place, and then take Emma to jail. This not only makes Snow and David mad, but also ticks off Victoria as she feels that he'd be a bad influence on Lucy, further straining the relationship Victoria has with the family, as well as between teh Charmings themselves.

-Gideon would run a bookshop or the Hyperion Heights version of Mr. Gold's Pawnbrokers. Jacinda would be a frequent customer, pawning things to get money to pay the bills to keep her and Lucy afloat.

-Belle could be a teacher at Lucy and Neal's school who moonlights as a lounge singer for extra income.

-Zelena would be a single mother, trying to raise her daughter on her own after her husband died (according to her new memories). She's a journalist, who works for the town newspaper, the Hyperion Herald. While she doesn't work for Victoria, the newspaper office is in Belfrey Towers, so she is indirectly influenced by Victoria (through Zelena's boss) to report the stories and news Victoria wants told. For some reason, she's good friends with Snow White in ths town, and as they live in the same building, is usually visiting her, while Robin is out with her friends. According to her cursed memories, would have no sister and would be an only child, so she'd have no recollection of Regina.
