I'm always reminded how is this show lasting long as it should with no cancellation in sight. Then I've remembered: Disney and their fans. Because ABC = Disney and lately, they've been marketing that like crazy, rather than focus on strong storylines. With Eddy and Adam's ego, the cast/crew being "yes men" (as I was told/got the vibe from what I've read in cast interviews), plus a whole lot of villains/plots, you have too many cooks in the kitchen and that is not good.
It's sad, because this show made me happy during bad times (this was season 1), but with the show being a hot mess (plus my eternal loathing of Captain Swan), I just had to let go (I assume others did too or they've stood, because hey, guilty pleasures).
