Gabielle Anwar's character could totally be the Duchess from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. This has already been expressed; however there are a few more notes on that character that could play wonderfully into this retelling of Cinderella' Wicked Stepmother/Lady Tremaine.

The Duchess from AAW has:

1. A baby

2. A cat

Lady Tremaine so far based on what we know has one child (Drizella) and possibly a cat as that character tends to have one.

This is how Alice could tie in with the other characters. I mean, The Duchess also had a cook, but I don't think Tiana is cooking for Lady Tremaine, seeing how she's already sporting a Tiara. So, this new EF could be the "Wonderland" of this new Alice. I don't know who'd be her Queen of Hearts, but that's neither here nor there.

As the Duchess tends to rival the Queen, I guess Lady Tremaine's backstory is Cora-esque perhaps with the Queen getting the Tremaine's "happy ending" or chance at being queen.

For brevity's sake, Tremaine could be the Duchess, in backstory and relation to Alice, while maintaining her qualities of the Wicked Stepmother in regards to Cinderella. And.....Tiana's a cook, lol.
