And it's for the better! AS I always drone on about how Once isn't Live action Disney, but it's own show using some iconography from Disney and other sources to make it its own. We, well at least I, fell in love with a show that focused on these interesting characters and the twists that lied ahead, not which Disney film with take over the whole arc and leave out main characters on the sideline.

They announce every casting even if it's only for one or two episodes. I also love that they took their own take on Herc and Meg and didn't stick them in one outfit and terrible wigs XD. The focus is on our characters facing their past, making amends, etc and having Herc there would be almost like having Merida in 5a (who sort of was just around for reasons).
