I feel like everything was building towards Cinderella World for this season but then Gothel and the coven just sort of took over. I would like to see more of Cinderella grown up and just before the ball. That is the question of the season. They billed Cinderella and Henry like Snow and Charming 2.0, and then proceed to give them hardly any backstory. Well, in a Spoiler Room today, A&E compared Alice & Robin to Snowing - so I guess they're trying to shift focus to another couple now, one that may or may not end up getting decent development either. On one hand, they haven't sold me on Henry/Ella, so bringing in another romance is fine with me. But then the problem with that is the overall story still centers around Henry and the Henry/Ella situation should still be remedied.

And it looks like Ella likely won't be getting a centric in the second half, so that's unfortunate for someone who is supposed to be the new female lead character. Most of the issue for me is probably that I don't think their Hyperion Heights interactions have been written well and that's the majority of what we're seeing from this pair. The cursed personas are just that though, cursed. Like MM and David were a bit hard to watch sometimes too, but what redeemed them is that you saw who they really were in FBs and how their love story went. Henry and Ella have not gotten this, and they have less individual FBs than Snow and Charming had as well. I think the writers wanted to have focus on Henry and Ella, but didn't want to have to write for Henry and Ella, when they had more interesting characters and stories they wanted to tell. Who knows, maybe we will get more of Henry and Ella in FBs in 7B than we think.
