Since there are only 5 episodes left, I think we should wait and see if we get any new information.

I understand that not all actors play someone there own age, though Ella being in her 40s is still a stretch.

Characters may look too young or too old to the audience, but other characters should be able to see their approximate age. In real life it is very unlikely to assume someone's age and be off by over 20 years.

Since it has not been confirmed that LWM and NEF have the same timeline, and it was kind of implied that they don't, I still believe the timelines might differ, maybe not by much. That's my only explanation for Robin's age.

In the finale, an unkown baby is cast as Emma and Hook's child? Does that mean their child is still a baby? I know we can't always trust the cast list before the episode aires. If it is still a baby, that says a lot about the timeline. The baby was concieved before Lucy.

Has it definitely been confirmed that it is 2017 this season? At this point, I don't even think I can take the writers' word if it is not mentioned in the show. I'm not sure what they know if they're talking about. Henry left SB in 2019, so the only explanation is time travel. If that happened, is it only 2017 in the rest of the world where the show takes place? Is there a 16 year old Henry in SB? That also means Emma would not be pregnant yet. That would explain why communication with SB could not happen this season.

We now know that Henry met Jack before his 19th birthday. That doesn't change anything because we know Henry was 18 when he left SB and Jack was the first friend he made.
