Let's not forget that across the 22-23 episodes we are not going to just get Aladdin and EQ (which harkens us back to Snow White). We'll need to see where Hyde takes us, and there will be other stories that appear (like the Count in 6x02).

I mean, so far we have 6 new characters (counting Jekyll and Hyde, even though they were in the end of season 5). plus at least 2 returning characters (Archie and Ella), maybe 3 if you count Pongo since he's also been seen on the set. And if they do intend on finishing LIly's story this season, that is 1-2 more returning characters (if Mal also returns) and 1 new character for the dragon-daddy. PLUS if the Ella secret does turn out to be Anastasia, then you have the introduction of another wonderland character (the Red Queen/Ana), possibly another returning character (Will), plus if they want to tie up another loose end, have an encounter between Will and Maleficent because of the mirror that he stole from her. And that does not even begin to count the number of other stories (probably single episodes, like they did with season one), which could bring multiple characters into the ever-expanding universe of characters.

Sorry, I got carried away, but as you can see, there is already quite a bit on the table, with just what has been revealed, and we know the writers want to do more. So let's hope that it doesn't end up a tangled up mess.
