In rewatching Wonderland, I was watching Heart of Stone and the scene where Ana's mother (presumably Lady Tremaine) comes in and confronts Ana and Will. During the conversation, Ana's mother expresses her disappointment in Ana, but consoles herself in that she still has Ana's sisters. Note, she did not say sister (singular) but sisters. It's definitly not definitive proof, but it does provide a way to connect the stories without having to pull a major retcon.

I would say that we keep half an eye out to see if we can find out if Ella's stepmom might appear in the flashback, and if so who is cast in that role. (Specifically if the role happens to be filled by Sarah Jane Redmond, who portrayed Ana's unnamed Mother in Wonderland). Oh yes I remember that scene in Wonderland and to me though I figured she was referring to both Drizella and Cinderella. I realise that Cinderella is not tecnically her sister but I think "Lady Tremine" referred to her as a sister because she wanted to be spiteful and show her absolute distaste for her daughters decision. Hmcooper expanded on this in a different thread, and the thought was that Lady Tremaine wouldn't count Cinderella as a sister, because she views her as a servant. At any rate, to fit in the timeline, we need at least 3 stepsisters to Cinderella. I have a working theory that their are actually 4 stepsisters, who will be named Anastasia, Beatrice, Colleen, and Drizella.
