Gabrielle Anwar - The villian - hope Morgana Le Fay, maybe she took Wish Realm's Rumple's darkness and is now the second dark one

Dania Ramirez - Tiana

Mekia Cox - Lucy's mother, I don't know why, she just seems more Lucylike than Dania

Adelaide Kane - Interesting... Who could she be. I wonder

Rose Reynolds - New Robin Hood - I mean would be nice if Robin's daughter would be as good archer as her father was. I don't think enough time has passed for Rose to play Baby Robin. Of course, Adam's been pretty weird about time-passing questions, so maybe there's some temporal nonsense at play.

Also, ethnicity is worth noting. Dania is a Dominican-American, which is not Tiana's original ethnicity (which doesn't necessarily rule her out) whereas Mekia appears to be black or at least mixed (I can't find any official source, but that's my admittedly unqualified observation), which is not even close to Alison Fernandez (and therefore Lucy). Between those two roles and actresses, ethnicity-wise, Dania is a better fit for Lucy's mother and Mekia is a better fit for Tiana. And why would Tiana be a series regular while Mama Mills is just a guest?
