You guys can say they are unimportant all you want, but compared to a lot of the other secondary characters, they have actually been given quite a bit of importance. The fact that they even left open plot threads with them is important in and of itself. Compare that to someone like Hansel and Gretel or Anton, where they made sure to tell us everything significant about the characters in both flashback and present day. Also, the fact that Mal was introduced in 102, and alluded to her drama with Sleeping Beauty (who we now know is Briar Rose), but the fact that we have still not seen this play out is extremely significant. I don't know why yet, but I'm sure Adam and Eddy didn't plant that seed in the episode right after the Pilot, if they didn't intent to do something with it later.
