What about Henry??? You know.... the main character Shhh! If listen closely you might have heard Ella say a word or two in the promo!

I think they are just owning the fact that they can’t be one-sided. To be fair, ABC markets (not the writers) and they slip on a lot of stuff. I get the newbies don't have a chance against the old cast

But Henry isn't new. Andrew is

Henry was here even before Hook and Zelena It's typecasting. S7 Henry is "new" because he's played by Andrew, who didn't come on OUAT until S7, while S1-S6 Henry is an "old" character because he was played by Jared, who was on the show for six years. The Evil Queen, Captain Hook, Rumplestiltskin, and the Wicked Witch are four iconic characters, both in and out of the show. The promo was meant to advertise the show and pull in viewers, and I think naming those four would get you more attention than saying "Henry Mills". Hell, even "Regina" and "Zelena". They opted to use their old titles that have long since been abandoned. Taking this into consideration along with the fact that they're four fan favorite characters, and they have 4-6 seasons on characters like Ella, Tiana, and Alice. Cinderella, the Wicked Stepmother (or simply Rapunzel), Mother Gothel, the Wicked Stepsister. Those names are iconic as Evil Queen or Captain Hook.

My impression after seeing that promo is "Come back with us. Forget the new characters. Snow, Charming or Belle were absent for 7A but those four are still here !" S7 Captain Hook can technically be counted as a new character, but yeah. It does seem that's what the trailer is pretty much saying.
