Don't forget she spent 28 years posing as Lancelot, spending time with Mulan and Philip, not to mention her 28 year partnership with Hook. There's a lot to be explored there. And it could easily be something taking place with Young Regina. Maybe before Daniel's death, maybe in between that and the wedding?

And Ursula's over 1,000 years old. Hook is only 300. Unless she aged the equivalent of 18 years in 700 years, then 20 more in 300, no way is Young Ursula turning evil because of Hook. Maybe Adult Ursula, but not Young Ursula. Cora didn't pose as Lancelot for 28 years, only a few months. She was frozen until Emma came to Storybrooke. Actually, it's never been clarified if time stopped like in Storybrooke, or if people were frozen in place for 28 years. Considering Alice in the asylum and how life continued in Storybrooke, I'd wager a guess that no one was frozen in place, everyone was just frozen in time like Storybrooke. Since if Cora had been posing as Lancelot for a few months, she wouldn't have said "I killed him a long time ago". Adam said on Twitter once that we have no reason to believe Cora was telling the truth. She's not the most trustworthy person after all. True. But my point remains that it's never been clarified if people were free to come and go as they pleased without aging, or if they were rooted to the ground for 28 years. They had to be frozen, Phillip wouldn't have waited 28 years to save Aurora otherwise.
