To me (and I'm sure other people), seeing new characters and stories is a highlight of the show. I'm also confused how some people can complain that we need to see more of the mains in flashbacks. Remember the episode in season 3 where they showed Snow and Charming on their honeymoon, and remember how everyone complained that that was a horrible flashback. You can't have it both ways. If you only want to see the main cast, we will get more and more flashbacks like that, as they struggle to show us meaningful scenes with the main cast. Personally, I'd much rather get new characters flashbacks than have to sit through more Snowing or Rumbelle flashbacks, as they are getting increasingly boring. Yes, but there's also necessary flashbacks from the regulars we have yet to see that are fairly important. For example, I want so badly to see Snowing take back the kingdom, or Snow growing up with Regina as her stepmother (4.14 doesn't count), or Emma's time in jail or as a bail bondsman, or Regina and Rumple's falling out, Henry being taken to Wonderland by Cora, Regina trading curses with Maleficent, anything on Hook and Tink, and as of the late: Belle's adventures with Robin Hood. I could go on, but yeah. Oh yes, certainly, some of these things would be appreciated, and we may get them at a later date, maybe in conjunction with a new character. Also, I don't consider characters like Cora, Mal, Hook, or Tink to be overused. So definitly, more of them is welcome. I agree that some aren't overused. But if you consider the main cast is overused than that means the show should end. The show is Snow vs Regina, Emma's story and the Fall of Darkness. If people want a truckload of Disney, that's Disney. The story is pretty much at and end and is dragging. I might get hyped for it, but it's dragging. What next? Emma goes to another realm? We did that! Another curse? We did that! Erasing memories? We did that! Face a villainous group? We did that! What else?

More characters won't help with that only delaying an end and devaluing what has occurred before. I don't think this show will end anytime soon, even if it does wind up draging the major overarching themes of the show out longer than it should.
