Frakenwolf isn't a character. Ships aren't characters. People/ Chracters are not and should not be defined by their ship. So, the title is misleading.

We'll see them when they are needed. Schedules are what they have to work around and seeing how the scenes work, they don't have spare time or money to be just throwing unnecessary things into the mix.

The extra waitresI always say that part 1 of Once is 1-3a and part 2 is now. Part 2 is where they grow more plot-driven and shipping based character growth. They are thrown at a plot and just react to it. Most character growth is related to their ship or growth that inthe end supports their ship or something or another. Or their ship is in peril due to the plot.

Example, Ursula tells only Hook that they are trying to make Emma dark. We see how he reacts, but they dfon't really care to show how Henry feels, how Snow and David feel, and when they do, it's minimalized for the angst. Same with most ships.

As some people say, it's more like the showrunners have "shiny toy" syndrome where like a child they drop everything and play with the new toy until they get tireed of it and move on (i.e. end of season 2 shows that as well as Frozen which wasn't fully planned prior).
