While all shows add characters and kill some off from time to time, it just seems like Once Upon a Time has so many that are unnecessary and don't really contribute to the show. OUaT is not structured any differently, than any other show. Like you said, all shows have one-shot characters. The reason is seems a bit more noticable on OUaT, is because all the characters are from iconic stories.... like The Little Mermaid or Cinderella. These characters are famous and beloved, before they even come on the show.
