Jacinda has been growing on me, though it's a little too late. As Cinderella she is such a bore, though. I kind of get what Tammy is saying, but I disagree with the tone.

Cinderella/Jacinda is pretty, but i do agree she is not "super sexy hot". In my honest opinion, none of the mains are or ever have been. They are all moderately attractive to good looking. (Drizella probably was the most attractive in my own personal opinion) I have a feeling if we had a blonde-bombshell Cinderella we'd be complaining she was only cast for her looks even if she could act.

My opinion of Dania's acting as Cinderella is that she came off as a bit of a jerk at first. I didn't like her as Cinderella, she was rude and her brash attitude wasn't fun to watch, especially juxtaposed with her awkwardness with the main cast. She seemed shy but angry and the mix didn't work with how she played it. I don't know if they were going for a loner attitude at first, but either way, it wasn't done well. This worked with Snow better because she was the first character portrayed this way on the show and Cinderella feels like a Snow White ripoff. The whole, "I'm a pretty princess but I'm so tough," thing is fine from time to time, but it's kind of overdone at this point, especially when they mimicked Snow so much. Also, even though Emma was the main character in s1, Snow was the meat and potatoes of the flash backs...where as the flash backs here seem to have focused most heavily on characters who are ultimately pointless to the story being told (I love Tiana, but remove her and nothing changes.) I would have preferred Henry to have been Tiana's prince, they have somewhat more chemistry and the story could have focused more on Facilier with Cinderella playing the role Tiana does, as best friend with a kingdom.

I think she had bad direction too. There's always something off about her scenes. Top that all off with that she has had hardly any real scenes or growth as a character and it's not fair for the actress or the character(s). She has no chemistry with Henry. It was unfair to that character as well.
