I could never see them promoting Zelena, nor do I want them to. As much as I love her (hell, she's easily my third favorite character of the whole franchise), I think they'd just ruin her like they have all the other characters. Also, the supporting characters for whatever arc they're doing seem to get more focus than the regulars anyway. Elsa was basically the star of 4A. Meanwhile, what were Mary Margaret and David up to? Or Belle? I'm liking all of the characters less and less as the series goes on. Emma started out as my favorite in season one but I can't stand her that much right now. I loved Hook in season 2 and 3 but Captain Swan is ruining him. Rumple is just full on evil while Belle is more dumb than ever. I think Once Upon a Time does a poor job handling their characters. If they're series regulars, they're either misused like Belle or they're overused in a bad way like Emma. If they're a supporting character they get focus for the arc they're on and then they're forgotten by the writers along with all their unanswered questions. I can't tell if I'm going off topic but I'm basically just ranting now. I do agree that these ships are tarnishing the character growth. Hook was great before Captain Swan happened and I believe Belle has lots of potential if she could have a story not including Rumple.
