I’m kind of excited as the plot thickens, but at the same time, like you, I’m worried that the writers won’t be able to handle it all. Depends how they do things.

It'll be probably be some big plot with new character filler mixed in with the big plot/big character and small plot/big character. The writers always create a lot of LOST potential.

The way I see it, "More characters and storylines = Some storylines will actually be decent". They often drop them like flies, so it's pretty tame. I think they'll just smash things together to make things simpler.

Ex. Tiana's plotline is like a small addition to Cinderella's plot, and we have a few branches out, but hopefully they'll resolve some of the plots before moving on.

About Jace, I think Dania (Mekia and Gabrielle) are all doing pretty decent jobs. The issue is primarily the writing and the words these characters say. (And direction).

Characters are really two to three of three aspects: Proactive, Competent, and Sympathetic/Likable.

As I think the writing for Jace will make her a more positive force, then she'll be a bit better as she sort of just is very down on everyone. Similar with Tremaine who is very active, but her plans really never do anything. Like in this episode, the restaurant burned down, but hey, ten minutes later, it's not even a problem. If they knew that they were going to make her unlikable (she's almost one-dimensionally evil), then they have to make her more competent. (Think Cruella: Likable and Proactive, despite bluffing/ pretty incompetent). But I think they are going that route with Drizella.

My notes for characters are:

Jace: needs to be more likable or proactive (I don't think she has done much of anything, lol)

Victoria: needs to be more competent, probably tone down Evil, up Fun

Tiana and Alice: Actually appear onscreen and develop when they don't have centrics

Everything else...more proactive. But it feels like the plot is about to kick into high gear.
