If Robin grew up in SB like you suggested (for 18 years) it's strange that she has aged, but not the other people in SB. Same with Alice. Well, she didn't grow up in SB, but we saw her birth...and that happened while Henry was already in NEF, right? But that means she aged 18 years while Henry was there, correct?

The whole Wish Realm...I know Wish Hook is from there, but what else happened there this season? I'm sorry, I'm normally really great when it comes to understanding shows/timelines, etc, but this one is hard to follow.

Plus I wonder why they cannot contact SB. And why Emma wasn't there for Henry's wedding/Lucy's birth. No, Alice is born way before Henry gets to NEF. Drizella is still a child when Alice is born (The end of 709's FBs take place shortly before 707's FBs), but they probably wind up about the same age by the time the curse is cast, because Drizella gets turned into a statue for 8 years. We didn't see Henry's wedding, so we can't say Emma doesn't show up for that. But yes, overall the writers did strange things this season, and so it is making the show a bit tricky to follow. My last piece of advice to remember regarding aging is just because the actors don't appear to be aging, does not mean the characters aren't aging. We had both Cora and George look basically the same for at least 20 years (they look identical when Regina and David are young children to as when Regina and David are grown adults), so I wouldn't put too much stock into the fact that Regina and Zelena don't look older than they did in Season 6.
