Emma and Hook became more open to them, and Hook and Henry also became closer after 6x06 (basically  Captain Cobra Swan grew as a family), Except it wasn't a big hit as the ratings revealed (3.06). It did't even look like a character growth showed at all. And I don't see any family growth (they were not a real family yet or maybe never). Which is most likely why viewers changed to the world cup, cause the GA don't really care for it. It might probably be a matter of time before the showrunners would possibly make changes. And so far only Heartless seemed to boost the show's numbers, which seems to clue us that viewers including the GA want more focus on Snowing (and seemed to be more popular apparently).
 * shrugs* I wouldn't mind if the show focused more on Snowing. Just stop letting Regina hog the spotlight.
