True, however instead of Greg or Tamara, I wish it was a better villain like Cruella De Vil, Dracula, Headless Horseman (created by Cora), or Facilier instead of two nobodies that no one really cares about. I think that Greg and Tamara were just plot devices to get the main 7 characters to Neverland. Its probably why they got killed off in episode one of the third season, their purpose was served and there was no longer a need for them. No, I think they were originally going to do some sort of hidden government sector plot or something. An actual Home Office, then they decided to turn it into "Oh, the Lost Boys were manipulating them all along." You can tell there was more to it, because Tamara had implied backstory which we never got to see.

We also never got to see why she hated magic so much. And they've given backstory for every single villain (Cora, Hook, Rumple, Zelena, Regina, Pan, Greg, Jafar, Anastasia). Tamara shares the distinction of being the only main villain (aside from the Jabberwocky and the Snow Queen, who will definitely have backstory as 4A progresses) to not have her reasons for being evil fully explored. So that's my main reason for thinking they had bigger plans for both of them, which were scrapped when they realized how little people actually cared about her and Greg.
