Honestly? I think the writers realized fairly early on that the Henry/Ella love story wasn’t shaping up to the epic true love story they wanted so they quickly inserted a necklace to prove true love, got them married off screen, and then poofed a baby into existence without any sort of real organic development.
And I think they are going to be leaning heavily on Alice and Robyn because Henry and Ella fizzled out.
Not only did they realize, but they also had to be aware that fans just weren’t buying it. I think it really comes down to Dania Ramirez being horribly miscast in the role. A superior actress might have been able to save the character and her relationship with Henry. I also think she’s had less screentime in these recent episodes, and that could be in response to audience feedback. She’s too integral to the story now to just write out, so I guess they’re just keeping her more in the background till the show ends.
