In Season 4, she became a main antagonist with a new wardrobe, was revealed to be pregnant and lots more changes. Ursula was introduced in Season 3 as Regina and the statue. Then in Season 4 it turns out there’s a real Ursula. The stepsisters were introduced in 1x04, one was eventually implied to be Anastasia the Queen and then in Season 6, two completely different looking girls (from 1x04) are introduced and Anastasia is never mentioned. My point with all of this being that they don’t always plan ahead and sometimes side plot lines get changed. I think the Clorinda and Tisbe situation was just because Emma Rigby wasn't available (and perhaps because of the Michael Socha situation).
