I am waiting to see how they will show Storybrooke this season, because Belle is now Main Cast so she has to appear more, No, she doesn't. We actually saw Meghan Ory less last season than we did in Season One. "Starring" for the actor does not mean their character is "main" or central. Actually, that's exactly what it means. In every case other than Meghan Ory's, that's what happened. Plus, you picked a bad example lolol.

And Meghan Ory was a special case because the writers couldn't get the copyrights for the original Season 2 plan, which involved Meghan Ory a lot more, so when they went for Plan B it kind of screwed things over. For example, originally, the Snow and Emma in EF arc was supposed to last longer.
