I'm curious to see how all of you are going to justify the absence/demotion of the cast. If i made a fanfiction S8 out of the contest, i'd prolly have around 15 regulars. It also depends on the structure. (You really can’t tell the difference between Mekia being a regualar and Adelaide not being on.)

If it’s a script, that’s pretty different than a novel. Obviously if it’s episodes, then scripts are more than likely, though then you have a slightly different medium. Though, could easily make it more play style. That’s why acting itself is an art as you mostly are reading words one a page, the actor and actress is either guided or add their little thing, like Rumple’s laugh and voice was a Bobby Carlyle thing.

Plus juggling characters. It’s always cool to see how it works out. You may realize that you made X a regular and had so many characters but not enough time.

I think like 55 pages of scriptwriting goes into each episode and we get a whole lot of cut scenes, merges, and deleted content.
