Let's keep in mind that, while A & E like to give their nods to Disney, they also like to go back to the source material, and make the twist from there. And from what I understand of the Grimm version of Cinderella, Ella was anything but a nice gal, and she (and her birds) get revenge on the step-sisters once Ella had nabbed her prince. (Which is very different from Disney, Rogers & Hammerstein, or just about every other modern retelling of that particular fairy tale).

So while they may give an even larger nod to the Disney version with the step-sisters names (just like they did with Snow White using the dwarf names from the Disney movie), I am not going to hold my breath that Cinderella turns out anything like the Cinderella story from Disney, at least as far as the relationship with the step sisters is concerned.
