Though, it could simply be that they didn't want to use the name Anastasia for a separate character, since that would have confused people. People would have thought it was a recast. I at least hope that in the event Anastasia is never addressed in the episode, that Adam and Eddy are asked to clarify their decision process in an interview. It would be nice to be given some light on why they went the direction they did, considering how many fans were convinced that Anastasia and Cinderella had a connection for almost 3 years now.

The main thing that bothers me is that I continue to get the impression that the writers are chosing to ignore what happened on Wonderland, despite what Adam said about it remaining canon. While it's true that Wonderland underperformed, it is still intertwined within the show's lore, and should be respected as such. I'm still nervous about just how they're going to fit Aladdin and Jasmine within Jafar's timeline, as another example. I don't think you should be worried, at least not yet. They have never contradicted anything that has happened on Wonderland, and so I'm sure they are aware when incorporating Wonderland characters onto the main show to watch what they are doing. To me, the fact that the characters names are not Anastasia and Drizella are actually a really good sign, it means they understand that Ana was very much a reference to Cinderella's stepsister (even if she winds up not being it), and that the stepsisters we will see in this upcoming episode needed to have different names. I also believe they intend to more fully integrate Wonderland in this season. We already have Jafar and Dr. Lydgate confirmed, and I think they are hoping to get Will back as well. My fingers are crossed that they will do a good job with everything.
