It's not even just the princesses. Adam and Eddy have a habit of introducing all these minor but interesting characters and essentially using them as plot devices for the main characters and then sent off into the sunset with a happy ending (Cinderella & Thomas, Jefferson & Grace, Hansel & Gretel, Gepetto & Pinocchio and likely now Ariel & Eric). There's occasionally characters like Aurora and Red who they stick in the background every now and then but there's a lot of unresolved questions with characters outside the main cast that they've not even hinted to answering any time soon.

What happened to Sidney? If Aurora's mother was woken from her sleeping curse by true love's kiss, why hasn't Aurora displayed any powers as a product of true love? What happened to Nova? If it was a land without magic, where did 'The Dragon' from season 2 come from? What happened to Mulan? How did Aurora and Mulan get Phillip's soul back? What happened to Tiny? Can Henry and Charming still reach the Fire Room?

And that's barely even half the questions they haven't answered. I'm not saying their choice of focusing rather than throwing too much at the audience is a terrible move, but it's not exactly the best move either. As for why they chose to do the show this way? God knows. It was a lot more organized in Season One but it seems like they're just not that good with working outside their main cast. No wonder all the recurring actors are finding better jobs elsewhere.
