Lucy grew up, Robin and Alice did too, still no one else aged? I assume Alice and Robin spent time in some different realm with a different time flow, but Lucy still doesn't make any sense. I think everyone forgets that a baby aging to an 8 year old girl looks a lot different than Regina going from 40 to 48, for example. My assumption is the adults all aged some, but because they aren't going to switch actors, we aren't going to see much of a physical change. Pretty much this. (Plus the writers don't do math well.)

Depend on who you're asking Regina was in her early or late 40s, then you add a decade. Same with Zelena.

Alice traveled realms. Robin could have as well.

I think Robin was pretty much confirmed by Zelena's comment.

Still, eight years are almost a full decade. I get it that all the new main actors are over 30 so it would be believable that they are now around the actor's age and were eight years younger in the flashbacks, but Zelena would be teaching fitness way in her 50s? My mother quit teaching dance by that age. Gosh, even Madonna, of all people, started showing her age by then.

My willing suspension of disbelief is getting stretched pretty thin. Yes, but the alternative is to switch actors, and I don't think anyone wants that. Honestly, this still isn't half as bad as Cora looking exactly the same in present day to when Regina was 8, or King George looking exactly the same in present day as to when David was 5.
