What I mean is that Facilier is a more effective villain that suits this show better. He is more menacing, while Lady Tremaine isn’t as there is no way she can last after the curse breaks. I could take Facilier as more of a threat to the characters, and they could develop him further if they wanted to.

And I think it would be good to have both in the show, to show two very different type of villains. I just don’t think Tremaine is strong enough on her own. I understand. Just saying that Facilier was a good villain, but it's all in the show's writing. Like Fiona had a phenomenal actress, had phenomenal potential...and the she fell down a well at some point as a character as she was pretty much "Final Battle. Final Battle. bluff, bluff, Final Battle."c similarly with Hades and his constantly changing plan.

If the writing is up to snuff, Tremaine could be a little better and Facilier could be a bit better than in the movie. But the writing varies, so these middle tier villains needs support. If we just looked at the Disney version, neither really were that big of a threat (as Facilier was clearly on the ropes with the Loa) Etc, etc.

I do hope that he is at least constant in the flashbacks at the very least. (or to reveal later). I doubt it as Tiana is less connected to the group.

We have Henry's family, Alice, and Tiana. Henry's family have to deal with Tremaine and the Witch. Alice is variable (we only assume Tremaine/Witch). Tiana mentions Tremaine, but there's Facilier.

Lookinng at that branching list, Facilier is more than likely a one-off (or just Tiana flashback villain). Though I was thinking that he was in some part related to the curse in a Rumple-esque way before we had the Witch.
