I think its a shame that they passed on the opportunity to make a more visual connection between the main series and the spin-off, it was strongly implied that Anastasia was one of Cinderella's stepsisters what with the Jabberwocky's statements and the appearance of her mother. With the recasting of Jafar (due to scheduling conflicts), they don't have much of an opportunity to tie in the two series.

However, there has to be a reason why Adam and Eddy have made this decision. I look forward to seeing their take on the characters. Due to the timeline, we already knew Ana wouldn't be one of the two stepsisters that we saw in Price of Gold (and therefore the upcoming episode). However, Ana can still be an older sister to the two sisters we are seeing here, which also fits with Ana's mother's line in Wonderland of "At least I still have your sisters." Could you just refresh my memory as to why the timeline doesn't allow this? Edward explained above, but basically, Ana was in Wonderland way before the events of Cinderella going to the ball take place. I'm still firmly in the camp that Ana (and Drizella) are two older sisters to the two sisters we will see in the episode next week. Four Tremaine sisters plus Ella? That'd be a huge family. It kinda seems like Henry's is the only one allowed to be that massive, honestly. Four kids isn't that much, especially if they are two sets of twins or something. And Cinderella is a stepchild, so it's not like that really counts towards Lady Tremaine's children count. Besides, the idea would be the older two sisters and the younger two sisters have an age gap, so that it all makes sense timeline wise.
