What happened to the girl power?


I understand it's a fantasy show with villains, heroes and happy endings but seems like the women's storylines revolve more around their significant others

I'm not sure I totally agree that the women's storylines revolve around their significant others. It seems more like this show has main characters (Snow, Regina, Emma, and Rumple) and their love interests (Charming, Robin, Hook, and Belle). And the latter's stories tend to revolve around the former's these days. Which is too bad. I could use more of Charming being a bad-ass. I REALLY miss his being so prominent in the show (I'm currently rewatching season 1 and what happened to THAT Charming?).

I also really miss how this show used to be so focused on FAMILY relationships and friendships. I feel like Emma barely pays much attention to her parents these days.

Murder is a bad first impression.
