What I wanted to say is: Creators of the show chose a path in which all classic stories we know happened in the past but in different worlds. I see those worlds (EF, Wonderland, Neverland etc) as some kind of parallel dimensions. Since those stories happened in the past we are familiar with them and that's why contemporary characters - characters that were created for this show and live in present day Land Without Magic (Emma, Henry) can't be any of those classic characters. It's pretty much a canon now and I doubt they will change that direction. Making Emma to be Dorothy will rise many questions and I guess writers would rather avoid them.
