Ginnifer is playing just two characters. Mary Margaret Blanchard in Storybrooke and Snow White in Fairy Tale Land. Your confusion might be because the flashbacks to Fairy Tale Land have not been presented in a sequential, linear fashion. We first saw the events toward the end when the queen placed the curse on everyone and transported them to Storybrooke, the others have been going mostly in reverse order, although there has been some back and forth.
When she first met James (Prince Charming), she had been banished from the castle or fled out of fear of the queen, and she was living in the forest sort of Robin Hood style. But she's still the same character that was the daughter of the king, stepdaughter to the evil queen.

I know this isn't what you said but if anything it's the other way round. Ginnifer had short hair several years before Morena.
I would also say 'different' type of attractive. Ginnifer has the girl next door quality in her looks but Morena is more visually striking (partly because of her heritage).
Having said that I think they both look better with longer hair but that's just my personal preference.
As for the show I really like it and look forward to it each week but I can't really put my finger on why. It's basically light drama/fantasy and on the surface doesn't seem to have much to offer. But I found myself liking it more and more each episode. I really like the flashbacks more than the Storybrooke stuff but the parallels between both are usually good, if predictable. I like how it is playing with the established stories and making characters have more than one role.
Robert Carlyle makes a good Rumpelstilskin but the show has to go to Lana Parilla as Regina/Evil Queen. She is great and adds a perfect amount evilness to proceedings. There's a lot of questions about her that I'm looking forward to being answered like 'Does she still have her powers in Storybrooke?' as I don't believe we've seen her use any. And 'Why exactly did she adopt a kid?', 'Why is she so protective of him if she doesn't know who he really is?'
Looking forward to seeing where the show goes and hopefully they can keep it sustained.

As for Ginnifer Goodwin... To be honest, she creeps the hell out of me. Long hair or short hair...
Carla Gugino though....

Hey Som,
Before you get too excited Carla Gugino is not (currently) involved with this show and neither is JJ Abrams.
Sorry to put a dampener on it but there was some 'misguided' information there from JewelStaiteFan. Lana Parilla does bear a resemblance to Carla Gugino so I can understand that.
As for Ginnifer, I kind of like her but she's not Top Ten or anything if I was to create a list.
Do we finally disagree on something??

Hey maybe we do! Still not such a bad thing on this occasion as it could have lead to some serious rivalry...
I'll still give this a looksee regardless of Miss Goodwin. I'm sure she's a good actress and I've been creeped out before (Mila Jovivivovichiethingummyjig...

For those who are Carla Gugino fans, she appeared last week on Justified - unofficially returning to the role of Karen Sisco (fellow Elmore Leonard character she played on a short lived series a few years back, also played by Yennifa Lopez in Out of Sight).
They can't actually call her that for legal reasons, but that's who she is playing. Is supposed to pop up a few more times this season.

Hahahaha!
And we are back to agreeing again about Mila J.
All is well.

He is, in my opinion, the absolute best thing on that show. I watch it mainly for his performances as Mr. Gold and Rumplestiltskin. As for the rest of it, it's not too bad but my main gripe is that, although Jennifer Morrison has been very good in several roles, I can't quite buy her character in this show ... at least not yet.
