They were in the promo, because ABC is owned by Disney.... and both characters have a recognizable actress. True, but why include them in the promo? Zelena and Pan are dead! And as far as I can tell, there's no coming back/retconning/whatever for them. and unless a flashback with one of these two would have a really significant piece of a plot, they won't even be in flashbacks.

As for Ariel and Mulan (and Tinkerbell), I know that Jamie Chung and Rose McIver are working on other projects at the moment and have limited (if any) availability, and I think that Joanna Swisher is also working on a different project at the moment (this is unconfirmed).

So why not use Red Riding Hood (also a well known fairy tale with an actress that is also known)? She, at least, will be in the show.

I mean, c'mon, they even flashed pictures of CGI Jiminy, Cinderella, and Maleficent, but skipped over Tink, Red, Granny, Aurora, Philip (and a few others as well). And at least with Red and Granny, they have had at least as much screen time as even Pan and Zelena. and with the hinted at Maleficent arc for 4b, you'd think they'd at least have Aurora, even if Philip is currently unavailable.

Ok, my ranting is done. you may now continue with your regular forum browsing, already in progress. :)
