-Disney cashgrabs. Frozen is a great example (and it just happened to work well) as is the Queens of Darkness arc (you really expect me to believe that 4B just happened to be a year after the release of Maleficent? And it was probably in the works around the time the film was released? In addition to two other iconic Disney villains?). The dropping of Lily's storyline makes sense if you think about that; Mal was likely a disney cash grab. Maleficent was actually probably intended to have an arc earlier, however, Kristin was busy with another show. That show finished by the time Season 4 came around, which was why they were able to do it then. Which is probably why they made sure Aurora and Phillip were kept around for Seasons 2 and 3, so they could do the Mal backstory. Welp now I look dumb

Still, Kristin is another example of how they had to modify their story because of actors having other commitments. Though I'm still in the camp that Lily was not planned in advance  but rather pulled out at the last minute, which is why her story was forgotten.

It is sad, because I was really invested in their story Yeah, it's just hard to do things when they want to, because they get talented actors, which means they are in high demand. I'm still hoping they will get to resolve Mal and Lily sooner or later. They are aware it is unfinished, at least, so that's a good sign.
