I think a backstory for Cinderella (maybe showing the death of her step-father or something), could really help flesh out her character for us, but I'm not sure when and/or if this is going to happen.

I agree. Like I wasn't super-into MM and David's nonsense, but I did feel for them and there were twists and turns as it twisted around Emma slowly saving the town. I think it's also due to lack of screentime on Jace with key interactions. Perhaps too many characters?

Maybe it's because we had a (present) hero fight a villain who was tormenting the (past) heroes. The later part if the season feels like Regina's the hero fighting the villain who was tormenting Regina/Belfrey. Ivy doesn't hate Henry and isn't actively affecting Jace and Henry.

That backstory idea is a really good one.
